The bit that boils the blood here is the way they specifically say "14 to 18 years after their initial launches", like they're reproaching customers for hanging onto their old kit for so long, when what they're actually doing is intentionally breaking products that were still working, to force people to buy new ones

@considermycat they silently bricked the hand-me-down top-of-the-line-but-old Kindle I got from my partner years ago. How? They changed the server end to no longer support the login method. Like, seriously?! And this only got brought to light after the third or so support person I interacted with.

That was the day I decided that I would never use an Amazon device again.
