Like the Boox features, but they pretty notoriously violate the GPL, if that matters to some people.

Typically there is a basic browser, it would not be the preferred way to read things.
They can do pdf but it’s not ideal. PDF is a specific page size, it is better if the text is rendered by the device itself. EPUB is a pretty common format for books (just not on kindle), but there are other formats including plain text. A site like Standard Ebooks has really nice, free content. Lots of libraries have ebooks too.
E-readers are much better for reading. The battery lasts forever because it is not keeping a display “on” most of the time. On a good one the text is nearly indistinguishable from text on a printed page - but with resizable and changeable fonts. The writing is actually on a physical medium that is repositioned with an electric charge, it’s probably not like any other screen you’re used to.
They decided to develop and not just publish games, can’t help but think it’s related. Thankfully their hits were developed by other studios and only published here, so unlike the comments on the article, there’s no reason there can’t be another Stray or whatever.
On PlayStation it was Sony. They published the PC and iOS versions. Thatgamecompany is the developer. Former developers from Thatgamecompany also made The Pathless (published by Annapurna).
They published a ton of good ones though. What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, Kentucky Route Zero… pretty much of my library.
Yeah, I want my passwords unencrypted in the browser, where they belong!
Remainder that Tails is an NSA PRISM targeting keyword. Congrats on making the list, folks!
They are logged, but swatting people get around it. They are suspicious “looking” calls, but so are bomb threats.
Swatting is pretty much always a blocked number to a non-emergency line. If they are traced it is typically one of those free online voip services. It takes work and access to really get from A to B, which is why it only happens when there are awful results.
In the US at least, 911 gets special access and calling it will always get you to your local dispatch (unless you have voip with the wrong account address). Non-emergency is just a normal phone number. If someone wants to call from out of the area or hide their number, non-emergency is how they have to do it. This is suspicious because in a real situation like “I just shot my dad” or whatever they say, nobody is taking time to look up non-emergency.
Cylons leave nothing to chance.
It has activation issues as the license is tied to hardware. If you have a retail license tied to your account it will prompt you to transfer from another machine, OEM does not. Nowadays people don’t even get a key, although it can be extracted from the firmware.
Most people are running Windows OEM licenses that don’t transfer to VMs. A retail license you can move around.
Easter egg and a little fun. Been there for decades.

Encrypt them before they’re ever put there. One example I can think of is in resilio sync, which has the option for sharing a folder to an encrypted peer. Other peers encrypt it before sending anything, that peer doesn’t have the decryption keys at all.
