I wonder when they did that. I've never updated my kindle, it's never even been on the internet so I'm stuck in 2021/2022.

Either way I have KOreader now and it's amazing. Just reading that I can connect it to the internet for more features and reading how to do that while blocking amazon. I still might not connect it or I'll put it on my IOT wifi that doesn't have internet access.

This is the bit I read that sold me on it.

But if you do jailbreak a Kindle, you’ll be able to install third-party apps like KOReader, which bring support for eBooks in formats that aren’t natively supported by the stock Kindle software, such as EPUB and CBZ files

Neat, my kindle is in airplane mode 100% of the time too... I never knew you could jailbreak, reading about it now.

Edit: and I'm on 5.14.2 guess I'm going to jailbreak. Amazing, thank you!

Welcome to the club.

The clapping killed me. Lmfao.

Yeah, it's the entire thing /s

There was an article a couple years back saying that manufacturers will use cheaper components for the same products, making it LOOK like the same TV but it's actually built cheaper. The really bad ones will keep the same product number/SKU but others will usually append a letter or two.

So the over all cost might be less but you're actually getting a poor quality version.

Iptorrents themselves have one. I've never used an IPTV provider, nor do I care but ipt has one.

My guess is they're reselling the same one or two actual sources that are out there.

I personally miss the hack/custom receivers out there where you'd just download the keys from forums and have your own, straight from the source.

Cracking means decompiling the files, debugging the code and finding the bits that check if you have a key/subscription and changing it in such a way that it passes. Not exactly something you can learn from scratch quickly.

I'm late 20s/early 30s. Since ~2011 the only social media I used was Reddit. No Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc.

What you're saying is exactly how I met my now wife. I looked after myself, did shit I enjoyed, found community events, hobbies groups, lived life, met lots of people, made new friends. Eventually I asked one of the friends on a date and now my best friend is my wife and I can't be happier.

I will say, not having Facebook was a problem in some areas though. I missed out on group activities, group hobby chats, that sort of thing but I didn't care. Friends would invite me to some of them anyway. Also, It might have changed these days but a handfull of people refused to trade numbers, they wanted me to add them on Facebook which was impossible. I didn't let that get in the way either but it was kind of 'hard' to miss out on a potential friendship. It all worked out in the end for me.

I've always asked friends and family for help with my résumé but a library or a community centre will definitely be able to either help or point you in the right direction. Worst case you can post again here with the personal information changed or blacked out.

Welcome to Canada! I'm sorry for how things are going there and I hope you enjoy your time here!

This and the privacy nightmare in new, always connected cars are the main reason I'm not buying anything new.

I've always bought used phones anyway. With eBay/kijiji/others you can request the seller to enable OEM unlocking so you know it can be done and you don't even need to boot it into android before installing GrapeneOS.

My experience, not many people are willing to do that for you. YMMV.

Sure....That's your penis!

Yeah, why the fuck are we red?!?

I can't unread this. Good job sir.

We started going to MCD for coffee a couple years ago. Tried Tims maybe once a year and it still tastes like shit.

Honestly, I'm of the same opinion as other people here. If you're in a costume and yell "trick or treat" at my door, you get candy. I don't judge people for shit, live your best life man.

Everyone has feelings, everyone has their own problems, and it feels good to be happy. If I can make anyone's day a little bit better I will. If that means giving candy to a fat, bearded, 40-something man alone in a costume alone, take it brother.

Weird? sure, I get that too. Personally, I won't go door to door for candy either, it's not something I find fun. Will I gatekeep someone from having their definition of fun for..... what ~$2? in candy I was going to give away otherwise? Nawh.

Why though? Sure they're old enough to buy their own but who cares if they're having fun? You're going to tell someone who put in effort to put on a costume no?

You sounds kind of grumpy, IMO. Who cares what other people do? In my opinion, being an adult is boring. Outside of work you only have a couple hours to yourself. Then there's house work, eating, errands. You have to make time for fun.

Yeahhhh, I did not care for the "Santa toys" as much as I did the ones from my parents. I still regret that to this day. If it stopped working or I lost it I'd think it was okay because it was free.

Though, in grade ~2 i told everyone i could go work in Santa's work shop if I tried more new foods....
