In September of 2023, Amazon announced the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition. It looked just like the regular Echo Show 8 smart display/speaker but cost $10 more. Why? Because of its ability to show photos on the home screen for as long as you want—if you signed up for a $2 monthly subscription to Amazon's PhotosPlus. Now, about a year after releasing the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition, Amazon is announcing that it's discontinuing PhotosPlus. That means Echo Show 8 Photos Edition users will be forced to see ads instead of their beloved pics.

Yes! It makes Tidal on Plexamp such a hard sell because you're missing features on both sides. I don't understand why they did that, but okay.

I'd prefer to use Tidal in Plexamp, but not all Plexamp features are available to Tidal users and that kills it for me.

This is a legit method for building small things like that where you can use the brick-like shape of the bag when it's hardened. You just need to make sure the concrete gets soaked all the way through with a hose or rain.

A volleyball, like others have said. Wilson is a basketball manufacturer. Just got your wires a bit crossed.

I remember this one. Someone else lost him, but he knew where he was and wanted to be there.

They showed and talked about it in the keynote too. It's not like this is some last minute surprise.

I'm still confused. All the HDR processing should be done on the client side if it is an HDR capable display playing a compatible format. The Shield can play most formats so that shouldn't be the issue. How do you know HDR isn't displaying properly?

Tone mapping is for converting HDR content to SDR for non-HDR displays. Why do you need it for an HDR TV?

I had a professor who wanted at least five pages and wouldn't read any more than eight. If you turn in more than eight, he reads the first eight and that's it.
