Look at how often grindr crashes during right wing events. It’s already political, maybe just not in the back end.

I just set up a Asus ZenWifi BE14000 to replace an old eero setup. I like it so far and haven’t experienced anything weird. I liked that it didn’t gate all the traffic shaping, new user notifications, and security behind a subscription paywall.

I don’t have an easy answer. Amazon was the 1 ton gorilla in the room so that was the one I was familiar with, but I will try to update this comment as I find information out.

Kobo: Seems like it’s yours to keep without resale or transfer rights. (https://download.kobobooks.com/learnmore/kobo1_pdf/Kobo_eReader_Terms_of_Use.pdf)

Google: Yours to keep provided the authorized agent and Google themselves maintain rights to provide it. (https://books.google.com/intl/en/googlebooks/tos.html)

B&N Nook: seems to be more in line with Amazon (https://www.nook.com/services/cms/doc/us/en_us/legal/nook-store-terms.html#ItemsPurchases)

Smashwords: seems more like ownership without transferability. (https://www.smashwords.com/about/tos)

According to the terms, when you purchase a Kindle e-book, you are buying a license to access the content rather than owning the book outright. And the only reason they made it explicit is CA law AB 2426. So you can “access” it on any device that can display their content, be it an app or hardware device, but you can’t possess it via a download for example. (I find this all to be bullshit, I’m just stating Amazon’s position on the topic)

This is a big part of why I have a kobo, the files are easy to scrub of the DRM but I’m still getting an easy way to throw money at creators I value.

Do you have access to an old kindle device? That makes it pretty easy with Calibre and the noDRM plugin.

It was easier when you could download it to your computer, but Amazon disabled that last year because so many people were removing the DRM.

I’ll give you a heads up that site has some “interesting“ stuff if you start at the top level, but the A-to-Z listing and individual games pages seem to be pretty solid and are well formatted.

That is an awesome die.

Dice-play.com is a really good resource. We play a lot of farkle (older scoring, not the commercial version), and Yahtzee, but lately we’ve been playing Ship, Captain, Crew; Knockout; and Centennial with the kids.

Nice! What game?

It occurs to me as well that the “completeness” of this amused me too.

• 1 tin
• 1 ~$5 package of dice
• 1 print
• 1 pencil from IKEA, your local golf course or wherever
• 1 pocketmod printout of games sized to fit the tin (a work in progress)

No spare parts, it’s all complete.

It’s not that we play a specific game that needs 10 dice, but I find that I can accommodate a whole lot of games if I have 10 dice. I originally thought of doing six because that would cover up through Farkle and then Yahtzee could come along for the ride, but then I realized that if I threw all the dice in the package in there, I could expand the optional games; or even support running multiple games separately.

If I had 2 extra we could even play Bunco. So it was more that it fit and opened up a bunch of options.

I use kobo because I have a kobo reader and you can import any epub into their app and it will work great. Otherwise I like Yomu, it’s got a nice and clean interface.
