Hi Michael, thanks.

To my dismay, I had never heard about Kodi to this day. It seems to be in great use, but should always be used with a #VPN as copyright laws very from country to country and the (standard) global search function in conjunction with the ubiquitous add-ons will make source differentiation difficult.

What is fantastic is that it seems to run on most platforms:

My trusty old iPad Mini 4 is starting to show its age (it won’t run any of the modern clients for Masto) and I’m thinking about a replacement, however I’m deeply distrustful of Cupertino at the moment, given their recent actions.

Basically, my use-case for a tablet is:

reading ebooks
doomscrolling the Fedi
listening to podcasts
streaming from Plex

I’m only interested in an 8-inch that I can hold like a book.

Hardware-wise the #AmazonFire looks like a bargain, but of course Bezos can lick my taint. Given that the Fire is basically an Android, has anyone had success at replacing the OS with a de-Googled OS like e/os or Graphene?

Fire Toolbox v38 for Windows (and v9 for Linux) released. The latest version of this Amazon Fire tablet hacking utility brings a task manager for viewing (and killing) running processes on your tablet and more options + troubleshooting tools. https://buff.ly/3Pr9bJ8 #FireToolbox #AmazonFire

Amazon's devices business lost $25+ billion between 2017 and 2021, largely because people who buy Echo devices at below-cost prices never end up using them to buy things or sign up for subscription services. That's why Amazon is expected to launch a premium version of Alexa soon for customers willing to sign up for a subscription. https://buff.ly/4fi01dm #Alexa #Amazon #SmartSpeakers #AmazonEcho #AmazonKindle #AmazonFire

I order an #AmazonFire HD 8. It arrives, I install the Instacart app on it (after installing Google Play), I try to log in, and I get the error message, "We couldn't validate the security of this request. Sorry!" Great, I just spent over $100 on a table which won't let me do the most important thing it was purchased for.
Thinking that maybe there's something wrong with the app, I try logging into Instacart in the browser on the tablet. I get exactly the same error.

I've been playing online Scrabble with a relative who uses an Amazon Fire. Although this is an Android device, Amazon has their own app store (which doesn't include the official Scrabble GO app), because chokepoint capitalism.

(I am aware that there is an elaborate workaround for this, but it would involve setting up a gmail account for them.)

So we're sticking with Wordvoyance.

#Day206 of #365HappyDays : I can combine this with #3GoodThings again #today.

1. #MUFC crashing out of the #UCL, beaten and bottom of the group. Genuine LOL at this!
2. Finishing another really good #book that I enjoyed very much.
3: Spending time again with The Boy. The photo shows him concentrating on a counting game on his #AmazonFire whilst waiting for his mama tonight. With a hot chocolate from #Starbucks. “Very hot, Grandma,” he said. Then asked “Blow it?”

Amazon has updated its Fire HD 10, so it's time for an update to our comparison table. The new model has a faster processor and gains stylus support (pen sold separately), but there's no longer a Plus model with wireless charging. https://liliputing.com/comparing-specs-amazon-fire-7-fire-hd-8-and-fire-10-tablets/ #AmazonFire #AmazonFireHD10 #AmazonFireHD8 #AmazonFireMax11

To install Duet on the Fire, you’ll need to side-load or install the Play Store and Google services first.

Also, pro tip: on the web, Duet’s subscriptions (at least the ones you would want) are annual-pricing only, but if you subscribe from the iOS app, monthly plans are available. The iOS purchase screen is worded to imply that it will only work with the iPhone, but you are are actually purchasing a plan that will work with any device.

I have finally found a use for the useless, god-awful Amazon Fire tablets: install Duet (or a similar app), and use it as a small second display with a laptop. I’ve been using a current-gen Fire 7 for the last week, and it works great as a second screen where I can post up a document I need to reference, or keep a chat window or to-do list persistently in view.

Amazon's new Fire Max 11 will be available starting Friday. It's the company's biggest, fastest, and most expensive tablet. While it's still cheaper than the competition, the software continues to be a letdown. It's productivity hardware with a media consumption OS. https://www.theverge.com/23759197/amazon-fire-max-11-tablet-review
