$11 for iPhones. L M A O

No production, storage, shipping... You think all of that costs $1? Also not every book is $50. A lot are way cheaper than that (around $10). So even $1 would be %10 which is not just a very small fraction (but again it's more than that). See below for a screenshot of Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone. Kindle edition is even more expensive than the paper copy ($10 vs $7). Not only that it is more expensive for no reason but it is about 40% more expensive compared to the $7 price of the physical copy (and I don't think I have to say this but I don't think that's a small fraction).

Edit: also I never said I don't purchase any ebooks. I said I'll stop using libgen when ebooks are cheaper than physical copies. Whenever I see shit like the screenshot I have attached I just pirate the book. I am not going to spend $10 on an ebook when half of that is going into Bezo's pocket for no reason.

I'll stop using libgen when an ebook is cheaper than a hard copy.

Proprietary software always leads to this. Open source is the future

Yeah they released a tool almost immediately after they shut it down. I have not used them until now because I got a steam deck with all the Stadia refunds and I was gaming on that. I used them today because we hooked the steam deck up on the TV.

It's my favorite controller. I just love the size and feel. And like I said it brings back the Stadia vibe.

Any kind of USB-c dongle. I bought one on Amazon that's like $20. It had HDMI and two USB inputs. There's a USB-c input on the dongle as well and I plug in the charger on there.

Quick edit: I went on my Amazon account and found the one I bought. You can find it below but like I said basically any kind of USB-c dongle will work. You can get a fancier one if you want but I have not had any issues with this one.

Stadia did this for free. All people had to do was buy the game. Plus this shit only works in the same WiFi
