Jailbreaking basically lets you de-Amazon your Kindle. You can replace the default user interface and reader app with KOReader, which is more feature rich. This video shows some of the features that KOReader has and some other things you can do with jailbroken Kindle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtk7ERwlIAk

Gentoo Linux is another distro that beginners should avoid.
In Finland, we have "heart label" (Sydänmerkki). The label has text "better choice", and it's intended to inform customers about products that are good for heart health. You can find this label pretty much on any product category, including things like cookies, ice cream and pizza. You are expected to know, that the label actually means "better choice for heart health within this product category". So yea, I agree with you on that intuitive part.
For those who have an Amazon Kindle, it's currently possible to jailbreak almost all Kindle models, thanks to a new jailbreaking tool released earlier this year. That includes the latest generation devices, as long as they haven't been updated to the latest firmware that was released last month.
Country of origin is a bit of a fuzzy concept when we talk about Linux. For example, Linux Mint (Ireland) is based on Ubuntu (UK), which is based on Debian (Global, but founded by American). So is Linux Mint Irish, British, Global or American? Also, every Linux distribution comes with software that has been written by numerous people all around the world.
It also says that Kentucky Fried Chicken is United Kingdom, and McDonald's is Switzerland.
The iOS app was updated 7 years ago, and clicking the Google Play button leads to “page not found”. Seems abandoned to me.
Their data is crowd sourced, and they seem to have (or have had) users in many countries, so products available in your country might be available. But I haven’t used it so I can’t say what information they provide or how accurate it is.
Qobuz also sells DRM free files in both high resolution and lossy file formats. https://help.qobuz.com/en/articles/10167-what-are-the-different-audio-formats-available-for-download
That's an excellent question. Pretty sure the page I copied that quote from looks a lot like the linked page. I don't have other pages about this topic in my browsing history. Either CNCB edited the page, or my browser forgot a page.
The linked article has this:
That 39% figure claimed by the U.S. is widely disputed with the World Trade Organization saying the EU’s average tariff rate was 4.9% in 2024.
...
“Nevertheless, considering the actual trade in goods between the EU and U.S., in practice the average tariff rate on both sides is approximately 1%. In 2023, the U.S. collected approximately 7 billion euros [$6.35 billion] of tariffs on EU exports, and the EU collected approximately 3 billion euros on U.S. exports,” the Commission said.
If it’s for machines, it’s a bit more complicated.
According to this video, it's actually even easier with machines: just get the cheapest powder you can find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0
It shouldn't delete anything. But KOReader doesn't support Amazon's file formats, or DRM, so you either need to convert them, or use the normal UI to read them. Removing DRM is pretty easy, although illegal in most countries, and converting is also easy with Calibre. This guide might help with that: https://lemm.ee/post/58718431.
