Disc-rot. -It happens but it’s not as common as its made out to be. In my collection it’s only occured in 2 out of 500+ discs.

apparently xbox 360 discs were particularly susceptible.

Does anyone know where it is that we can find these new commands? I have an esp32 dev kit just a few feet away from me as i read this. It might be interesting to know what these new product “features” are.

“Amazon bought Barnes&Noble ages ago;”

I think you’re thinking of Borders, Barnes & Noble’s long bankrupt competitor. Barnes & Noble got bought by a private buyer from the UK a few years ago when they started circling the drain. I wouldn’t recommend the Nook ereading platform, though. I’ve had three of the products since they first launched, and they are buggy. -Add to that supporting the ereading platform has never been a high priority especially when the company was struggling, also their free ebook selection went from low-quality, low-selection to nonexistant.

Long story short I’ve been considering a Kobo ereader as my next ereader over another nook product for a while now.

“…Do people seriously buy something every week from Amazon?”

Yes. I have one family member with an amazon affiliated credit card and when it’s combined with prime… Anyways, multiple family members use that account to make orders from. This includes ordering cases of softdrinks ever 2-3 weeks.
