Amazon is on my shit list and will not buy any products from them ever again. They are one of the worst monopolist mega corporations. They treat their employees like slaves, are anti-repair, anti-consumer.
I gifted an older Kindle to my sister, and the screen broke (out of warranty). I contacted Amazon about it, and they basically said they don’t make replacement parts and don’t service the kindles, they can only give me a small discount for buying a new one.
I looked up a guide on doing it myself, and even if I find a replacement screen, it’s really difficult. The screen is glued with a strong adhesive. The entire device looks very cheaply built and deliberately made really difficult to repair.
You can use an USB cable to upload files to the Kindle, the @kindle email address is just a convenience thing. Calibre is great for converting to a compatible format.
Which is why I will never buy a modern console. Once the company making them shutdowns the servers, the hardware will be useless. Unlike retro consoles that use physical media, which are highly sought after today.
You can still yank the power chord out.
That’s why recycling goes after reduce and reuse.
Women are not good for the network connectivity
Which includes mining all the rare materials used in manufacturing the GPUs and ASICs (that we’re actually running out of) .

The only way to get politicians to care about online privacy is to make it affect them personally. Make more bots that track their private jets, reveal their secrets. Buy their data from data brokers and make it public.
Companies left and right will start creating EULAs with forced arbitration clauses for all kinds of crazy things… Shit like “Being in the general vicinity of one of our buildings, you agree with our license terms”. Or “saying the name of our company, you agree with our EULA”. Or “By being alive, you agree to our EULA”.
Or maybe an automated system flagged it and an underpaid and overworked employee in a third world country reviewed it.
I don’t think this was malicious, these app reviews are being done by an overworked and underpaid employee in some third world country. Mistakes are made all the time.
Lights. 15 years ago, everyone was using incandescent bulbs which were terribly inefficient and neon lights which had their own inconveniences. Today, LEDs have mostly replaced them, can produce better quality light, and use a fraction of the power.
Displays. Even the cheap TVs and monitors look incredibly good.
That’s how you end up with the bigger evil.
Also the patent office needs to employ actual specialists and reject the bullshit patents, like rounded rectangles.
