I made a 32“ eInk newspaper
That's funny -- I just did the same thing! We both must have read that same earlier post about Visionect and ran out and ordered one.
I didn't get a chance to write it up yet but here's my software https://github.com/elidickinson/newsvision
I skipped the HTML renderer and used the python library to push image data right to the display's frame buffer. Seems simpler if you're doing the hard work of turning it into an image yourself anyway. I also grabbed the full list of newspapers and used imagemagick to annotate each image with the paper name and location. It's a little hacky, but seems to work.

My kindle paper white not turing on
Download imx_usb_loader and the uboot_2009-08-lab126_wario_usb_fastboot.bin image from this thread then run this command in a shell: imx_usb uboot_2009-08-lab126_wario_usb_fastboot.bin. If it appears as a Fastboot device, the problem is likely to be software related and you might be able to recover the device. If nothing happens, it's probably hardware failure. Feel free to create a thread on MR if you need more assistance.

Good news is that you can't trully brick a reMarkable v1 unless you break the hardware. I 'bricked' my reMarkable v1 before and used a tool to boot the CPU into recovery mode to load a new kernel over the usb port[1].
Using this mode, I was able to unbrick it but it's a complex process so it's not for the faint of heart. It's still good to know that with enough elbow grease, you can always unbrick a remarkable.
