The intent isn't to adapt the old cables to a new port, but to just make all the cables USBC / Thunderbolt.
So if there was no ability to stream Xbox games to your phone, Google would presumable be okay with allowing game purchases?
Wait, why am I able to buy Steam game in the Steam app that I installed from Google Play? How are they avoiding the same billing policy that the Xbox is falling victim to here?
I have a feeling their intention here is less about acquiring FromSoftware and more about getting those anime production houses so they can continue to monopolize the industry. FromSoftware would be a happy accident.
The sale follows a judge’s order earlier this year for Jones to liquidate his personal assets, to help him to pay off the $1.4bn he was ordered to pay the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting...
I believe this money goes to the victims' families
Very fun very cute game, I recently caught a Creature

Project Borealis is a fan game based on Marc Laidlaw's "Epistle 3," his summary of what Half Life 3's plot would have been if he was still writing it.
I might have done something wrong, but my banking apps never stopped working on LineageOS.
Oops you're right, shame one me for not verifying that before posting. I was at work, didn't have it on me to check, and I couldn't find the answer online, so I took a guess.
It is still a separate partition from the one the OS is installed to though, which I'm guessing is ext4 since it's Linux
Microsoft's solution above is tacked-on and inelegant, it's a bandaid to fix a problem with WMDRM that MTP devices were causing in the first place. MTP wasn't built for enforcing DRM and and Amazon would just be setting themselves up to face the same issues if that was their goal here. Also, unlike Microsoft, they don't have the advantage of being the original creators of MTP. If they did want a completely DRM controlled environment, turning the Kindle PC app into something more like iTunes where it's the only program able to communicate with Kindles would have been a much better first step than implementing an industry standard file transfer protocol. They could have jumped straight to your second step like that.
My best guess as to why they're making the switch to MTP is because USB Mass Storage currently requires them to maintain a separate partition with a fixed size formatted in ~~NTFS~~ FAT32 on a Linux-based device just so it can occasionally be exposed to a PC it's plugged into, and that's... kinda stupid. MTP provides them the option to just not do all that. MTP is the standard mobile devices use these days, it's going to be easier and cheaper for them to develop around and they won't need two different file systems and partitions on one device anymore.
The Kindle doesn't use Windows Media DRM for its DRM protected ebooks, they use Amazon's own DRM. Even if they did use WMDRM though, this is just an extension for MTP that would enable it to be used for streaming WMDRM content. It "provides a mapping of WMDRM: Network Devices Protocol messages to the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)" and that's necessary because MTP would otherwise not provide the data necessary for for the DRM protected content to play.
There's still nothing here that would prevent you from copying your own "legitimately obtained" epub files or Amazon-encrypted AZW files to or from your PC.
I see this article is the first result when searching "MTP DRM" on Google though 😉
