Amazon Kindle Support Cutoff Spurs Jailbreak Guides for Old Devices

A new Lifehacker guide details how to jailbreak pre-2013 Amazon Kindles to install KOReader, as Amazon will block new purchases and downloads on these devices starting May 20. Amazon is offering affected users a 20% discount on new Kindles and a $20 ebook credit if they upgrade by June 20. Repair advocates warn the move could obsolete 2 million devices and generate over 624 tons of e-waste. Jailbreaking may void warranties and has technical limits.

  • BrainChip Holdings' Cash Burn: Why Investors Need Not Worry
    May 30, 2026, 6:24 PM EDT. BrainChip Holdings (ASX:BRN) has a cash runway of about two years, with US$32 million in cash and no debt as of December 2025, while burning through US$15 million annually to fund growth. Despite limited revenue of US$1.9 million over the past year, the company's cash burn decreased by 3%, signaling management's cautious spending approach. The market values BrainChip at US$270 million, meaning the cash burn represents roughly 5.7% of its market capitalisation, indicating manageable shareholder dilution if the company raises funds by issuing shares. This financial position suggests BrainChip can sustain operations and continue developing its business without immediate bankruptcy concerns, though future growth remains critical.
