Amazon’s $50 Fire tablet reviewed: Suprisingly, it doesn’t suck | Ars Technica

Amazon’s $50 Fire tablet reviewed: Suprisingly, it doesn’t suck | Ars Technica But Amazon's new Fire tablet is, remarkably, even cheaper than the competition, and sacrifices little despite its low price. At £50 ($50) it's one of the cheapest tablets you can buy from a big-brand manufacturer, and it's perfectly capable and pleasant to use. Oh sure, it's not exactly what you'd call a looker, the low resolution display is merely adequate, and you won't be able to run all of your favourite Android apps without a little work thanks to Fire OS, Amazon's forked version of Android that lacks the Play Store.
As long as I can watch BOSCH on it, I'll be happy. Even better: deliver it to me with one of the Amazon warehouse robots.

...learning from Bridget Riley’s prints

This handsome book documenting Bridget Riley’s prints over nearly 60 years is the revised and expanded edition of a catalogue raisonné, last published in 2012. It is therefore the definitive source for her prints. Each print has been assigned a catalogue number, and a concordance at the back of the book aligns this new system with Karsten Schubert’s previous numbering of the prints, which he compiled for Bridget Riley: Complete Prints 1962–2012 (editions one to four). But it is the overall presentation of this new edition, plus an additional essay by art historian Robert Kudielka, which brings it into line with The Complete Paintings 1946–2017, a five-volume set published in 2018. Together, these six volumes are a testament to the unremitting combination of passion and rigorous critique that has driven Riley’s work over the last seven decades. https://www.apollo-magazine.com/lines-of-continuity-learning-from-bridget-rileys-prints/
