Amazon’s Only Color Kindle Just Got a Version That’s a Little Bit Cheaper

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-02 03:35:40

Amazon’s newest Colorsoft e-reader is downgrading storage so it can upgrade your bank account. A new version of the Colorsoft Kindle—Amazon’s first-ever color e-reader—will come in a 16GB version that cuts the e-reader’s storage in half compared to the first generation but also debuts at a slightly cheaper $250 compared to the first-gen’s $280. There’s not a ton going on here other than the lower storage for a lower price tradeoff, but if you’re not someone who needs the whole 32GB of capacity

The Gentoo Perl versioning scheme

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-09 02:44:30

The Gentoo Perl Versioning Scheme A common observation/confusion people have is that the versions used on Perl related things in Gentoo don't directly correspond to upstream versions. This is because Upstream uses two different schemes, and one of those schemes is fundamentally incompatible with Gentoo's. The Problem In most people's minds, this is how version numbers sort: 1.0 1.1 1.5 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.45 This is because you read . as a delimiter for multiple integers. However, in Perl, t

Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign

Chipmakers get larger tax credits in Trump’s latest ‘big beautiful bill’

The latest version of U.S. President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" could make it cheaper for semiconductor manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. as Washington continues its efforts to strengthen its domestic chip supply chain. Under the bill, passed by the Senate Tuesday, tax credits for those semiconductor firms would rise to 35% from 25%. That's more than the 30% increase that had made it into a draft version of the bill. Companies eligible for the credits could include chipmakers

As Congress races to pass President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” it’s also sprinting to placate the many haters of the bill’s “AI moratorium” provision which originally required a 10-year pause on state AI regulations. The provision, which was championed by White House AI czar and venture capitalist David Sacks, has proved remarkably unpopular with a diverse contingent of government officials, ranging from 40 state attorneys general to the ultra-MAGA representative Marjorie Taylor Green
