I wouldn't say it's "not up to the challenge" insomuch that like when you want to convince someone to not use Chrome, you're running into the problem that you have to create a framework under which the amount of problem Chrome can be can actually be measured/registered.

People always assume "Yeah but the average user doesn't care", but never truly read that line and realize what it implies.

It's not that my mum opens Chrome, sees that it's 74/100 on the problematic-software-you-shouldn't-use-scale, and then decided to use it anyways.
She opens it. That's it. It ends there.

There is no "This is a 74/100 problem".
There is no problematic-software-you-shouldn't-use-scale.
There is no scale.
There isn't even the conceptual idea for it, and hence no reason or impetus to ever internally have such a scale.

And now comes an important question: Why? Or rather, why not?

And the answer is both easier and also impossibly harder than most of us trying to convince others would want to accept: Because it doesn't matter.
To my mum, she couldn't give a flying fuck what others think about Chrome, she wants to open a web page. She has actual problems in her actual life, she doesn't care a rat's arse what the tiny computer she looks up the weather and contacts her kids on does to allow her to do that internally. She's worried about her health, about her colon surgery healing or about her mum (my grandma is 93) having fallen down.

So.. no news

It's ultra weird, although I guess I... could kinda see how someone wants to keep a diary of family dinner conversations?

You can just use your phone to record those of course, but a dedicated device might be easier to use. Since it's not cloud-connected and you transfer off of it manually anyways, fiiiiiiineee I guess? 🤷

I mean to be fair I've had three Kindles now and am someone who uses old Fairphones and repairs them, and none of my Kindles gotten close to surviving long enough to potentially run into this problem of them no longer supporting it.

Which... is the actual reason one should not get a Kindle, tbh. They're fragile as fuck.

I suspect they're ending support for some older format these devices need on their server-system, since it's been a few years.

But sadly no technical details given.

Can't have been that devoted if they were still on those old devices instead of buying the newest one every 1~2 years, can they now?! <-- Amazon C-suites

There was Dispatch and 1000xResist on there but I now bought both of those.

I guess once I had time to play them, the new LiS? But right now, kinda nothing. 😅

Sure, but it's also far from the only time that guy has been making shit up, and that's independent of the part where the Switch 2 is still the fastest-selling console ever (at least when it was last-posted after 7 months on the market it was), so it's a bit of a weird point to make about "flagging demand" unless that's an extremely recent thing.

Careful with these re-citations. The original Bloomberg article is ny Mochizuki, someone who has consistently pulled things out of his arse for years now.

Unless you're currently playing on your Switch 1 4k Pro model that arrived ~2 years ago, I would not give much weight to this.

(and even if, the cited 4 mil sales is an insanely high number, even the Switch 1 only once managed an actual 6 mil quarter average for 24 mil in a year - but like I said, it's very likely made up entirely, given the author)

Cute animal in the logo.

And they also... No, that's actually it.

FTFY

Americans would do anything before they take a look in the mirror, damn.
