3 months agoIn 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.
I use four monitors for my WFH setup with a total of 11.8m pixels. Three 6k monitors is 37.3m pixels, more than three times what I’ve got. I’d be seriously considering this if I could run all four, but for now the hackintosh lives on.
