I dont like renting content forever... I can see why companies like this model though

They don't call them "noise attenuation headphones"... they call them "noise CANCELLING headphones"

nicely formatted ads, nice.

I have an Amazon Fire tablet and it came with Alexa, but I don't use Alexa and have it disabled and it still uses 80% battery.... I do block a lot of amazon domain names use pi-hole and the tablet tries to communicate with Amazon about every minute.

They should sue everybody for a fair market value (just download anything using bittorrent and get billed later).
