A guide on Protecting Your Eyes while watching cartoons to get to sleep
My bedtime bredren, we Futurama sleepers must be careful to protect our eyes when we watch in the dark, and so I have written out a guide on how to do so. Some technical know-how is required, but you can bumble your way through it, and the payoff is worth it.
To avoid wrecking your eyes, ideally y

Cheap alternative to iPad mini6-7
As the title states, I have a cheap alternative for the iPad mini to work with a Backbone… It’s an Amazon fire HD 8… it runs well… You just have to do some minor tweaking to the software of the fire by installing the Google play store, it took me about 10 minutes to get it running on Nvidia GeForce

Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus or Newer Model?
I saw that Amazon has this for $54.99 right now which isn’t too shabby at all. I mainly would use it for ebooks and comic books reading and some streaming. Would the HD 8 Plus suffice or should look into a newer model?

Shadow running on a Kindle Fire HD 8, I was curious if it would run but it works great. Resubmit due to no flair.

iPad for tabletop navigator?
Cheapest way - Amazon Fire tablet (8" is a reasonable price), enable the real Google Play store vs the stupid Amazon Fire store...which you can easily do, then put the C4 app on it, and the "Fully Single App Kiosk" app. It'll be locked in as a C4 only android device. The Fire 8 tablet is $99 and usu

The Best Tablets
Tablets aren’t just “big phones” anymore. I’ve found them to be surprisingly versatile, perfect for streaming Netflix in bed, catching up on emails at the cafe, or sketching out ideas when I don’t feel like pulling out a laptop. The right one can pretty much replace multiple gadgets if you pick care

2024 Kindle HD 8 (4gb) or 2023 Amazon Fire Max 11 (4gb)
They are completely different tablets. There's a whole lot more different than you might be thinking. The RAM amounts are the same, but only if you get the specific 4 GB model of the HD 8 (and that's the 64 GB storage one but I'm not 100% on that). The Max 11 is higher spec in just about every way.

Fire Pro Tip: Fix the lag
Enable developer settings then change "background process limit" (at the bottom of the list) to "at most 2 processes". I'm on the 2018 Kindle Fire HD 8 with the play store installed and it has eliminated all lag. It's so smooth now.

New Kindle Fire 8 HD - Search bar
I just grabbed a new Kindle Fire HD 8. The only thing I really want from it is reading and being able to highlight it color. It’s not a bad tablet. I was going back and forth between getting this and getting a Lenovo Tab One 8.7” and just loading the Kindle app on it. Anyway, the only thing that
