> the Office wants more details from stakeholders. It asks which copy protections are involved, whether the titles can be watched legally some other way, and why making these copies wouldn’t infringe copyright. It also wants to know whether allowing this would hurt sales.

lol, look I'm a sony lawyer answering: "cryptography", "there is no way for us to assure you can watch every single episode you'd have on disc, the maintenance burden would be far too much, but our catalogue is already plenty enough and you can enjoy it as much as you want for as cheap as $PRICE/month.". "Such copies would absolutely breach copyright, they wouldn't be protected by our protection solution and could even possibly harm users devices". "Yes we would lose around 10000 bajillion dollars per month of subscription revenue by allowing people to preserve their collection of media we're too lazy to distribute ourselves."

It is in no way a punition, it wouldn't even be far fetched to consider it a lucky event. It's a good justification for them to kill classic cartridges, and sell so-called "key-cards" and through eshop exclusively, while keeping the price as it was. This is sure to make their benefits explode.

But how do I update apt if apt is untrustable until fixed ? Good ol' .deb scp'd in dpkg'd.

The founder announced a week ago you'll soon be able to write custom apps using JS, and released an emulator to begin testing. Too bad you need an account on their app to use history features like step count etc, it's all sent to their firebase and no storage in the app. I hope the Gadgetbridge implementation will be complete someday.

If applicable you could even use wildcard certificates to avoid having your subdomains domains showing in CT logs.

So, basically, you admit you will comply exiting all countries that ask for it; Pushing users to allegedly less safe resolvers in the name of security and integrity; And eventually ending the service in a couple of years because no one will be able to use your service since you'll be blocking most parts of the world and won't work without VPN exit in specific places. The decision is understandable, this really is a dillema I wouldn't want to take part in. You'll die by a thousand cuts of authoritarianism.

I've been rocking a Meebook M6 android ereader with a carta HD screen. Awesome for reading novels and manga. But it's starting to be slow and old (old cpu, 3Gb ram!). I sure hope I'll be able to find another android reader (not locked down obv I want to install whatever I want on there) with a good recent screen. There's no way I'm purchasing instant ewaste using a smelly closed OS.
