[21:39:16] Ziginox lmao

[21:39:36] Ziginox !bang

[21:40:55] Ziginox ComputerTech: I finally got my kindle \o/

[21:41:00] Ziginox not a Fire tho, a paperwhite

[21:41:59] Ziginox jmjl: yeah same here

[21:42:14] Ziginox fun thing about that, you know how dedrm specifically says it doesn't work with loaned books?

[21:42:32] Ziginox I dunno, I don't actually buy kindle books all that much anymore

[21:42:46] Ziginox it should work though, considering this is the current model

[21:44:15] Ziginox do you have a card from your local library?

[21:44:52] Ziginox oh yeah, I think ours might have one

[21:44:54] Ziginox not sure

[21:45:24] Ziginox well, if you live near a library you should go in and get a card

[21:45:41] Ziginox if they have Libby, you can borrow ebooks and send them to Kindle or Kobo ereaders

[21:57:38] Ziginox paperwhite signature edition in agave green

[21:58:42] Ziginox Harzilein: Kindle Touch, maybe?

[21:59:05] Ziginox that was my old one

[21:59:48] Ziginox jmjl: why not just email them to your kindle email account

[21:59:59] Ziginox then you get whispersync and everything

[22:00:12] Ziginox calibre even has a setup for that

[22:00:34] Ziginox as for getting a kindle onto an account, I think it's just the earliest ones that are defunct

[22:01:38] Ziginox this is from 2022

[22:01:39] Ziginox "A reddit user had shared the email from Amazon, which read, “Thank you for continuing to use one of our earliest Kindle devices. While you can continue reading on your device, as of August 17, 2022, store functionality will no longer be available. This change only affects certain devices introduced 10+ years ago (listed below). As of August 17, you'll no longer be able to browse, buy, or borrow b

[22:01:43] Ziginox dammit

[22:01:52] Ziginox 'll be able to browse, buy, and borrow books on other supported devices or through amazon.com/ebooks.”

[22:01:52] Ziginox A reddit user had shared the email from Amazon, which read, “Thank you for continuing to use one of our earliest Kindle devices. While you can continue reading on your device, as of August 17, 2022, store functionality will no longer be available. This change only affects certain devices introduced 10+ years ago (listed below). As of August 17, you'll no longer be able to browse, buy, or borrow books directly from these Kindle devices. As always, you

[22:02:44] Ziginox jmjl: indeed, they shopw up as documents

[22:03:01] Ziginox I'm curious about how the whispersync works without having them somehow tied to your amazon account tho

[22:03:21] Ziginox and yeah, you can no longer sign into Amazon with a first or second generation kindle

[22:03:27] Ziginox as of 2017

[22:04:10] Ziginox the mobile data was also killed on a lot of them when AT&T shut down 3G a while back, including my Kindle Touch

[22:04:28] Ziginox nope, I could do both on my Kindle Touch when it was jailbroken

[22:04:45] Ziginox I mean, Amiga600

[22:04:56] Ziginox the devices that are having services shut off are over ten years old

[22:05:45] Ziginox As much as I hate to say something good about Amazon, they're excellent with supporting older devices. The devices are built pretty well, too. Lots o magnesium in all of them.

[22:05:55] Ziginox you're joking, right?

[22:06:27] Ziginox Android 4.4 and older can no longer access the play store

[22:07:15] Ziginox and the oldest Kindles also still work, they're not bricked

[22:07:22] Ziginox jmjl: Calibre

[22:07:43] Ziginox ComputerTech: is this amiga guy some fourteen year old that knows nothing?

[22:08:05] Ziginox jmjl: ohhh, I thought it was going to be a piracy site. Uhhh, not sure. Do you know how they deliver books?

[22:08:19] Ziginox Amiga, you sound like a twelve year old fanboi, lmfao

[22:08:42] Ziginox and who cares?

[22:09:32] Ziginox I don't like the UI either, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start spouting information that is completely and utterly false about them and the competition.

[22:09:59] Ziginox no, no they don't

[22:10:00] Ziginox lmao

[22:10:22] Ziginox that sounds like an insult

[22:10:25] Ziginox GET BRICKED, BRO

[22:11:03] Ziginox !shoot

[22:11:05] Ziginox oh

[22:11:06] Ziginox !bang

[22:11:09] Ziginox !reload

[22:11:20] Ziginox !bang

[22:11:23] Ziginox !reload

[22:11:26] Ziginox o

[22:11:28] Ziginox !bang

[22:11:44] Ziginox huh?

[22:11:48] Ziginox I'm just fast typing lol

[22:12:00] Ziginox jmjl: okay that's good, you can de-drm that and convert it to whatever you want using Calibre iirc

[22:12:13] Ziginox I don't know for sure, though, as I've never had to deal with ADE

[22:12:46] Ziginox !bnamngkg

[22:12:48] Ziginox oops

[22:12:54] Ziginox I was stretching when I tried to type that

[22:13:08] Ziginox and just went with it

[22:14:15] Ziginox who the fuck is this Hugh Jeffreys

[22:15:14] Ziginox hey guess what

[22:15:18] Ziginox you didn't search very hard

[22:17:00] Ziginox so, these are old phones

[22:17:07] Ziginox this is an extreme edge case

[22:17:21] Ziginox https://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/03/28/apple-reposts-ios-9-3-for-older-devices-bricked-by-activation-lock/ however

[22:17:24] Ziginox apple Fixed it

[22:17:30] Ziginox soooooo

[22:18:45] Ziginox and my iPhone 5S still works as well

[22:19:17] Ziginox okay so, this guy's youtube video kinda sucks

[22:19:44] Ziginox he's talking about some dude that found an iphone in an attic and wants to recover data, but the post shown on his screen says the guy is going from "welcome startup", which means there'd be no data on the phone

[22:19:51] Ziginox Hotties: hi

[22:21:20] Ziginox I'm not going to state that iOS is nearly as open as Android, but the thing you're linking was an edge case bug that Apple fixed

[22:22:11] Ziginox I can't imagine running iOS 9 in 2023 tho

[22:24:29] Ziginox I'm also going to state that, if your data only exists in one place, it doesn't truly exist at all. Not having a backup of anything important is astronomically stupid.

[22:24:52] Ziginox (Don't iPhones back everything up to iCloud by default, anyway?)

[22:26:09] Ziginox ah

[22:26:39] Ziginox Still, my point stands. Apple bricks the phone, user drops the phone off a building, dog eats phone, user goes swimming, thief takes phone. They're all the same situation when it comes to the data

[22:27:23] Ziginox I like my larger phone, thank you very much

[22:28:10] Ziginox there's the Sony Xperia 5 series, it's a 6" screen but 21:9

[22:28:14] Ziginox it's pretty narrow

[22:28:36] Ziginox it's very tol https://fdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/reviews/22/sony-xperia-5-iv/lifestyle/-1200w5/gsmarena_035.jpg

[22:29:02] Ziginox but even my slightly larger Xperia 1 III is comfortable to hold, because of how narrow it is

[22:33:10] Ziginox Amiga, what phone do you currently have?

[22:33:43] Ziginox ah right, a lot of those Chinese brands lack NFC for some reason

[22:34:01] Ziginox Xiami

[22:34:04] Ziginox Xiaomi even

[22:34:41] Ziginox I've loved my sony phones tbh

[22:34:45] Ziginox this is my third

[22:34:51] Ziginox https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Xiaomi-Redmi-6A,Sony-Xperia-5-IV/phones/11009,12001 re:size with the Xperia V tho

[22:34:58] Ziginox narrower and slightly taller

[22:36:08] Ziginox (and Sony tends to be pretty good about bloatware, my current one only had like, amazon shopping and the free version of File Commander that I can remember)

[22:36:18] Ziginox I wish it were more widespread

[22:36:32] Ziginox I don't trust the Graphene project though, the lead dev seems unhinged

[22:37:47] Ziginox oh yeah, Sony is still a bit weird with that

[22:38:23] Ziginox Graphene is a ROM based on AOSP, which has been degoogled

[22:38:30] Ziginox jmjl: I dunno tbh, I haven't looked for a bit

[22:38:44] Ziginox Sony's phones are unfortunately never supported by those projects

[22:39:04] Ziginox (and unfortunately, with the mark 4 and 5 phones, the bootloader isn't unlockable for US-market devices for some reason)

[22:42:54] Ziginox jmjl: sounds like somebody that had no clue what they were doing

[22:43:18] Ziginox it wasn't all that difficult to jailbreak mine tbh, although I ended up de-jailbreaking it because I didn't find it useful

[22:44:00] Ziginox I just didn't find anything to install, lol

[22:44:08] Ziginox the most I ever did with it was play Minesweeper

[22:44:42] Ziginox I never tried tetrix

[22:44:51] Ziginox it probably wouldn't have been all that great, considering my device was only touch tho

[22:46:53] Ziginox oh man, I was hoping the browser would be better on my new Kindle

[22:47:20] Ziginox (it's not called experimental anymore)

[22:47:21] Ziginox yeah

[22:47:25] Ziginox no

[22:47:29] Ziginox not a kindle fire

[22:47:30] Ziginox kindle

[22:47:34] Ziginox they don't run android

[22:47:38] Ziginox lol

[22:47:42] Ziginox but yeah, the browser SUCKS

[22:47:57] Ziginox I felt like I was trying to browse the web on a palm pilot back in 2010 again

[22:48:01] Ziginox no

[22:48:04] Ziginox it's not silk

[22:48:20] Ziginox Silk is just chromium, is it not?

[22:48:34] Ziginox Harzilein: that's exactly it, felt like WAP all over again

[22:48:38] Ziginox it's dire

[22:48:50] Ziginox it can't even render wikipedia properly anymore

[22:49:12] Ziginox jmjl: I don't think anybody is going to try and ransomware an epaper kindle, if that's what you mean

[22:49:44] Ziginox that being said, the kindles are not poorly built at all

[22:49:51] Ziginox the inside of this one is a magnesium waffle

[22:50:14] Ziginox https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fmmttuir0pv191.jpg

[22:50:58] Ziginox it's not titanium lol

[22:57:46] Ziginox jmjl: oh, so using it like a yubikey? I doubt it

[22:58:28] Ziginox I hate that most financial institutions don't allow TOTP
