- Comment on Amazon upsets ebook lovers by ending support for old Kindle devices 37 minutes ago:
With an old Kindle, it was trivially easy to rip Kindle books to retail-quality epubs.
Heh, yes. The encryption key for their old DRM was derivated from the Kindle’s serial number. Wanted to crack your library? Go to the webpage, download them all there (yes, that’s now blocked, too) open them all in calibre and use a plugin to deactivate the DRM (trivially to find back then). Enter your serial number and you’ve freed your whole library.

Fun fact: Did you know that the dose of 400mg is the ceiling if your goal is to lower pain and higher doses only affect other effects (e.g. being anti-inflammatory) of ibuprofen (and it’s unwanted side effects, too)?

Imagine if Microsoft blocked games being released onto XBox if they don’t have a certain amount of AI generated assets and/or “live generated content”.
Shhhh! Don’t tell them this idea, please!

- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 3 months ago:
That’s Black Mirror S01E02 - Fifteen Million Merits. It’s on Netflix.
If you haven’t seen that Series, give it a try. Also it’s an anthology, so you can usually watch any episode in any order without needing the other episodes (at least as far as I have watched it).
Every episode is usually its own story in its own universe and depicts a not-very-far-in-the-future dystopia that (ab)uses media and technology and extrapolates from our current social issues.

- Comment on Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products 3 months ago:
That reminds me of copilot in the azure portal.
On every page, theres a header section with some recommended actions you can do there and with a click on it, you can task copilot to do them for you.
Today, everything I got was to the extend of “decommission this Kubernetes cluster” and other destructive things you do not want to accidentally click on.
