I'd really love to have one or five of those for maintenance work. There's a lot of devices that I don't really need to have a keyboard and video connected to for 99.99% of their life time, but I still need an LC display and KVM switch connected to for about 10 minutes per decade. It's such a waste.
Euhh, I'm not sure I understand your use-case, but e-ink displays aren't especially "cheap", or such. They take a noticeable amount of time to update the display, so doing things like typing, or viewing output from top(1) would be less than ideal. (This seems to get better with firmware, and being "smart" about which places of the screen get updated, generally)
The appeal, at least to me, is that they can display information with little energy cost. For example you could have it monitor the system's health and have it update every half an hour, showing graphs and such, and it would be able to do that for a very long time with a smallish battery.

But this can't track individual users, it just provides general usage statistics, like visitor retention.
I'd be interested in a viable example of this being used to identify users.
I'm unsure why this is downvoted.
I think he is saying that users can't be tracked between page-loads using this method, or your risk sending multiple users the same token. (which is true, at least with this implementation)
The time they spend on the website, latency, etc can all be used to add to a fingerprint, but there isn't something magic that makes this accurate, especially without JavaScript.
Edit: please don't mind me ghostposting kthx

Switched from Skype to Discord for gaming. No regrets.
The unofficial API community is also really great, and there are a plethora of libraries to choose from to get something working quickly.

Here's a simple modification to get the random number between 1 and 10
[:div
[:p "Hit Run to get a random number:"]
[:h1 (+ 1 (Math.floor (* 10 (rand))))]]
If the appcache.manifest changes, it rechecks all files (or in my case, would only pointpessly re-check those which haven't changed, and download new ones), and the appcache.manifest will change the second a single byte anywhere in the program changes.
It's fantastic.
It's been replaced by Service Workers, but those can get reallly hard to deal with if they start caching themselves (!)
Chrome's devtools has ways to delete old service workers and such, but I've found that on Firefox it's next to impossible to debug.
