Here is a first world problem for all of you Kindle owners.
Amazon
is discontinuing support for Kindle devices released in 2012 or
earlier, effectively "soft-bricking" them by blocking access to the
Kindle store and new content downloads after May 20, 2026.
While existing locally stored books will remain, devices cannot
download new content, rendering14-18 year-old, working units into, in
effect, paperweights.
Things are still terrible in the Middle East, with no signs of improvement.
47 is dismantling the Forest Service. Decades of knowledge and research will be dumpstered, fire seasons will be worse, post fire landslides will be worse. They're planning to sell off vast swaths of land for logging. Good bye little woodland creatures.
That's it! Gotta start packing in earnest.
I wonder if Kindle owners will be able to download from non-Amazon sources, like libraries? Maybe they won't be totally dead. (I don't have a Kindle, and now I'm glad!)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Amazon/Kindle is doing what every computer company has done - making their products obsolete so consumers must purchase updated equipment. It's annoying!
ReplyDeleteIt's disgusting what is happening in the Middle East. I hope there is a way out but having the US isn't sending their best into the negotiations.
I hadn't heard much about the Forest Service, but it doesn't entirely surprise me that IQ45 would want to see those lands developed. In time, Mother Nature will get her revenge.
pisses me off royally!!!!!
