It's okay Snarf, we know you did nothing wrong.

β€œsnarfing" and "throbber" are two of my favorite niche tech terms

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Now that's a word that does not need to be used in journalism.

It's OK, they changed the headline to say "slurping" instead. Clearly much better.

Why was SCRAPING off the proverbial table??

Is the worth as news? Ain't that an open secret already?

It's good to keep pounding this info to normies. Maybe they'll understand one day.

I've got a 2021 Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet and I'm sick of Amazon's crap. I mostly use it for watching YouTube, any recommendations for a ~$150 (non-Samsung) tablet the same size or bigger with a headphone jack? Willing to buy used.

See if there's a jailbreak or root available.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's not, it's too new. There's some stuff Fire toolkit could do but it's severely limited on newer Fire tablets.

:(

Can you disable some stuff? ADB?
