Great to see a #software based #amazon #kindle #jailbreak - which should give these old #eink #devices even more life! https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showth..
Well damn, a pretty smart #exploit for #kindle #touch devices just by opening up a #ebook https://research.checkpoint.com/2021/i-c.. For all you know, books have contained this on the #amazon #store for quite some time... Writing #secure #software is insanely tough!
$49 for a one-off price for an #iot #cellular #pcb that gives you 500MB over 10 years: https://blues.io/ Apparently there are still some #hiddencosts - but it's still an interesting idea. I wonder how they will combat 3G/4G/5G/+ shutoff and upgrade? Will this company still be around in 10 years? The old #kindle for example is about to lose its 3G connection due to the #us shutting off the towers.
Ouch, I never thought I would be using my original #amazon #kindle long enough to realise that a wanted feature (at the time of purchase) would actually be one I actively tried to avoid: https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/28/22598.. Luckily mine only runs on #wifi and surprisingly still receives #software #updates even today!
Really nice #eink #touchscreen #display created using #recycled parts, including ex #kindle displays: https://hackaday.com/2021/06/21/review-i.. Very nice execution!
Great to hear that #postmarketos now supports over 300 devices: https://tuxphones.com/postmarketos-2021-.. Being able to boot a #kindle fire or #alcatel could be specifically interesting to me!
