I guess, books and magazines feel nicer to read physically as well. Reading a magazine scan is always a bit odd. Papers suck physically, but I guess it's essentially the old version of a recent content aggregator (proto-reddit even?). Do you know anyone under 13 who pays for their subscription of Donald Duck ;) I'm not sure if the parents would mention DD as a subscribed magazine, so it might be skewed. it's not that popular anymore, most kids are just watching cartoons on TV/tablet/phone. It's mostly marketed to them, also stores mostly targeted to women tend to have them in the lobby as well. I guess magazines were always seen as a woman's thing with the exception of hobbyist stuff. I just had a look at the stores and they barely sell larger e-readers, I found a few which are 10.3". The price is €590 though. Not a Kindle though, not sure if that's important for some reason. I guess they all just stick to smaller formats because the screen tech is expensive or something? Not yet, but the lower skill jobs will go quickly and they tend to have no decent job prospects outside of that. I'm pretty sure transport companies are very interested in replacing truckers as an example. Quite a few of the large scale bakeries have (finally) upgraded to more modern tech, which requires less people. Even if they can be retrained it's gonna cost someone. It'll probably be the last sector to be affected, but humans are far more predictable than we think and the big data gathering on everyone's behaviour has already started. Wouldn't be too odd to think a robo-clerk has a basic database with a customers interests and basic reactions. I guess it's a bit gloomy to look at it like that and I might be overestimating how fast it'll go.

What about a house ;) I guess I should've expected it. I'm not even sure if people would buy those games for a normal price, let alone that. Guess he's trying to just exploit collectors. That'd be an odd one. I'd maybe dust it off, Maybe some rubbing alcohol if it's used (no wrap to worry about). Do some sellers really clean it like that? I could understand if he was selling a table or a chair, but on games?

Sure, I just don't trust passwords alone (or my memory, or writing it down). Each to their own. Our passwords won't hold up to quantum computing though, but at the current pace we won't have to worry about that yet. It's an old Microsoft account I'm stuck with (still has @hotmail as well). It should work the same, but everytime it ends up in spam, probably because it sends out similar messages in a quick succession.
