If it’s repeating answers it gave to other users that’s a hell of a security risk.

EDIT: I just tried it.

Can’t take it home, but I’m currently testing out the 3D printers at my local. They also have a 3D scanner.

I grew up in the '80s. I was expecting either nuclear annihilation or cities on the moon.

It makes no difference. With Mondays off, Tuesday becomes the new Monday. Fridays off means Thursday starts feeling like Friday.

Fill the rest up with community maps/mods, tracker files and ebooks.

They are. T&F recently cut a deal with Microsoft. Without author’s consent, of course.

I’m fairly sure a few others have too, but that’s the only article I could find quickly.

Too late

Strictly speaking this is a subset of what the food industry calls reformulation. They’ll also reformulate a product for other reasons (eg to reduce sugar/fat/salt or add a vitamin so they can make a health claim, tweak the flavour if it isn’t performing well, etc) but reducing materials and manufacturing costs is a big part of it. Maybe we can coin the term “deformulation”.

Soulseek. I’ll search a band I like, then browse the directories of other people with similar taste.

Your description made me think of The Golden Palominos.

.mod files for music. 3-5mins+ of music a piece with a storage footprint in the KB range. Mostly free, tons available online. Check out Mod archive for an easy web interface or ZXTune if you’re on android.

I have had this happen. Mostly with weird, old, or cheap (or some combination thereof) hardware. Like sometimes the connection will hitch for a moment then three or four letters will come out backwards. Couldn’t say for sure what the cause is but I suspect either the controller in the board itself is jank, or there’s some kind of protocol / buffer mismatch. I have no solution, but it’s not just you.

I’m pretty sure I tried the desktop app method at some point. Didn’t work at all for me but I can’t recall why.

Huh. That actually sounds familiar now that you write it out in full. I guess we’re both right.

Oh it’s an absolute slog for sure. And I can’t even guarantee it still works. I wouldn’t have even tried if I didn’t happen to chance upon a suitable device. Definitely wouldn’t recommend paying eBay prices for one just to do this.

Maybe that’s the policy at some stores, but according to the ACCC, it has to be sold at the cheaper price, or not sold at all.

I’ve done this successfully, but you need to jump thru quite a few hoops. These instructions are for Kindle only. I think dedrm can cope with Nook encryption but I don’t know how to do it. It was a while ago now, but to the best of my recollection:

1. Get yourself an older model Kindle. I used a Kindle 3 that I found at Goodwill for $20. You may have to rejig your home WiFi if your model doesn’t support the right version of WPA.
2. Register it to your Amazon account somehow. IIRC, you have to try and fail to do it from the device, then Amazon will email you instructions.
3. Install Calibre and setup the dedrm plugin. It’s pretty well documented.
4. Download what you want onto the Kindle. Pretty sure you have to use the Amazon website for this because of SSL issues on the older models.
5. Setup your Kindle with Calibre. This is also pretty easy and and well documented.
6. Grab the DRMed books off the Kindle into Calibre.
7. Run the conversion process in Calibre to remove DRM and convert to (for example) epub.
8. Optional: Jailbreak your Kindle and install KOReader to get a bit more value out of the obsolete brick you had to purchase to do this. This is a whole other set of hoops.

I’m not totally sure all this still works. You’re honestly probably better off getting a Boox device and downloading stuff from Anna’s Archive or similar.
