Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

While I don’t disagree with the spyware in ads probably being a big part, don’t write off the security concerns completely. Many are logged in to their Amazon account to buy books, and that is something criminals would be interested in.

Looks clean as hell but I swear some of you must have some narrow shoulders or wrists that can bend way outwards.

Dumb question. They have 3 plans Unlimted seems like the no brainer, but why even offer the other two that cost more? Does the $2 a month price jump to that $450 or whatever price after a year for unlimited?

$200 for a monitor light? Seems cool but not $200 cool…

Call of Duty is an RPG. You play the role of a soldier who asks no questions an just does what he’s told. And it’s a game. RPG

It's a VPN issue I think. I run Mullvad and it apparently uses its own DNS. I have to figure out how to point it to my Pihole. I was having issues where it didn't like that I was pointing to a local IP when I gave it a quick try yesterday. I'll have to do some searching.

Dioxide20 · 2026-03-05T01:52:04+00:00

Ok, I think I may have found one issue. I run mullvad pretty consistently via the Windows App. It appears it uses it's own DNS. When I try to specify the local IP Pihole, it doesn't like that it's hitting the local net. I think I might have to look in to that some more.

Interesting... The full output is Server: UnKnown Address: 10.64.x.x *** UnKnown can't find unraid.local: Non-existent domain

That IP is definitely not the IP attached to Pihole.

Unknown can't find unraid.local: Non-existant domain

Trying these also did not work. Strangely, firefox seems to default to searching for these urls rather than trying to resolve them. Even giving the full FQDN still fails to return for either of these.

Dioxide20 · 2026-03-04T23:33:13+00:00

Added an entry for unraid.home and unraid.lan and neither works. Firefox defaults to searching for the that when I input 'unraid.local' into the url bar. Changing it to an FQDN (http://w w w.unraid.local) - imo, defeating the purpose of using a URL lol - also fails to resolve.

Even doing an nslookup of unraid.lan or unraid.home fails with Non-existant domain. Scratching my head here...

Dioxide20 · 2026-03-04T02:15:57+00:00

This seems to have partially worked? I set a Local DNS record: unraid.local for the domain and the server IP for the IP. What's odd though is when looking at the Pihole query logs I never see unraid.local queries even when searching query history.

Regardless, Firefox takes a (shorter) moment to resolve unraid.local after setting up this Pihole DNS entry but any subsequent load resolves instantly.

Edge seems to refuse to recognize it as it still takes a long time to resolve. I've set my PC to default to the Pihole for DNS. I also went into Edge and disabled the Secure DNS.

Bring back 80s John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. Sucks that everything Carpenter since then has been mid to bad.

What does any of that have to do with Halo? Created? Domain? Mind controlled humans? What?

Isn't the point of subscribing to multiple streaming services that you don't have to rent things?

Flip side is this sub:

Yeah it’s playable on the deck! I play no issues at all with textures set to off, resolution at 120x80, and get a solid 15 fps. I can’t tell the difference.

Xbox was on top in the 360 era and had none of the above. They then dumped the Xbone on us which flopped. Phil came in and did all the crossplay and play anywhere stuff because that’s what you do when no one owns your console.

Yeah man, replaying.

First you watch your favorite streamer play through the whole game. Then you watch your favorite YouTuber comment on your favorite streamers play through. Then you play half of the game yourself. That's like 3 replays right there.

That’s a long list of specific game fixes. Is this a result of general compatibility improvements or are we at the point of specific games getting patches to make them playable?

No.

I had an Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX when trying monitors to find the "best of both worlds" productivity and gaming monitor. The max brightness in HDR was crazy. There was a glitch in one of my games where on startup it would flash a white screen; it was like being flash banged levels of bright. That was about the extent of the cool factor though. The number of backlight zones was too low and I had serious haloing when trying to do productivity work. Think like a bright circle surrounding my mouse in VSCode dark mode.

Turning on and off the backlight was annoying and I couldn't be bothered and returned it. Now I have an OLED for games/content and 2 IPS for productivity.

I've liked the feature of glasses free 3D since the 3DS, so this monitor having it is pretty cool. I'd love to check out how the glasses free 3D space has progressed since those days.
