Hi all,

I haven't used my Voyage for a few months. It has not had batteries in it during that time. Today I put batteries in it and a column of pixels was blank. I checked 15 minutes later and it was still blank. Now, five hours later, I checked it again and the pixel column is back! What gives? Has anyone seen this before? I want to sell my calc, but not if it's defective.

Thanks!
Sam

I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
