Illinois now. Winco has yet to penetrate the Midwest!

I no longer live in the PNW. I miss Winco.

They costed less back when the competition was the IBM PC, which cost as much as a car back in the 80s. Hasn’t been true for decades now.

Ayy, I have a Ryzen 7 based T14 Gen2. Wonderful machine. Enjoy!

Malicious compliance. I hope the EU stomps on them hard.

Yes, and in fairness to them that’s how it has been. The ads are only for stuff sold on the kindle store too, so not like you’re seeing ads for hot singles in your area or some shit on your kindle. It’s only now that the store is flooded with this AI garbage that the ads have become annoying.

I do almost all of my reading on a kindle - one of the ones with ads on the lock screen, and for months now all of the ads have been for this type of no-effort, low-quality, AI-generated garbage. Amazon clearly doesn’t give a fuck as long as they make money.
