It was actually a tough choice but I went this way because EA systematically kills franchises while doing good things once in a while and I don't think Ubisoft know what they're doing. I would also put Epic on evil side but comparing to these 3, they seemed not as evil.
Also not to forget: "Why EA is the worst gaming company in USA? Because Ubisoft is in France."

That would also work though I chose the good side as DRM-free side, mostly.

Moon Denialists Are So Pathetic That They're Using AI to Fake Artemis Footage

I would say the latter because when these conspiracists actually decide to use science to disprove they find out that it was just a conspiracy.

Ah, I see. It seems they just disabled their "official" way to transfer via USB. So, local transfers shouldn't be affected I guess. However this means, if one don't have older Kindles they won't get "Download" option from Amazon anymore apparently. They have to directly download it to Kindle and cannot get it out from the device.

Don't have a link for the firmware though quoting from the guide I used:

  Go to your device's update page

    
Copy the update URL (in this case, to 5.11.2)
Edit the URL (by changing the 5.11.2 to 5.11.0)
Click and save.

Don't know if it still works though.

While not having PaperWhite this was the guide I used. Though be careful if you have firmware version 5.15.1.1 or later, you might need to downgrade first. And don't rush anything. Good luck!

It's possible but if I were these people I would at least discover other options other than Kindle at this point.

No but recently Amazon also pushed an update to make this happen, so people who got this update cannot locally upload books on their devices anymore and have to use Amazon services to buy and download books. Luckily for older devices jailbreak is still an option. Also, people who didn't update can still use Calibre too apparently. Customization is far better with jailbreak anyway though.

Amazon stopped the support for the older Kindles (though it seems only for store connection but anyway) so this will push people to learn new ways to read their books on their devices, a.k.a. jailbreak.

Indeed they have. Hopefully this will be the tip of the iceberg for a lot of people too.

I actually read manga on my old Nexus 7 since my phone's screen is not big enough. I tried some cbz mangas on the Kindle before but because of not every page is single, it was painfully slow to zoom and navigate. I would love the read them on Kindle if I can find mangas that don't need to be zoomed though.

Yeah, jailbreak and KOreader actually makes the device usable. I have one of the older ones so the screen is way too small for manga anyway, but at least i can use whatever the font I want and I can even change the default screensavers which is a nice addition.

Keep it in mint condition (and colour) at this point. :)

I tried Persona 5 - I did not like its style

Don't know if it's on Switch but I highly suggest Tales of Berseria.

This is a cool project! I'd love to try this on an obsolete hardware just to see if it's lightweight as Haiku.

Ubuntu 26.10 Looks To Strip Its GRUB Bootloader To The Bare Minimum For Better Security

Actually I'm even using systemd-boot on a systemd-free system as well. As far as I know, while it's part of systemd, it's not actually part of the suite. It's just a bootloader.
