2024 Kindle HD 8 (4gb) or 2023 Amazon Fire Max 11 (4gb)
Yeah, the newer kindle fire tablets seem to be ahead of the old ones. The Max 11 looks to be just a better device all around. I have a Fire HD 8 from a few years ago and it’s honestly super slow compared to what’s out now from the reviews I have seen. Also, some apps just won’t work on the older Fir

Plex Sync is depressingly shite
I just spent the last few days desperately trying to get Plex to sync all my boys Fireman Sam episodes to his Fire HD 8 tablet. He has many hours on an aeroplane to look forward to.. now likely to be just a little worse.
I know the sync problems aren't new, I've tried all the workarounds I found in

Which tablet for moonlight
I can’t say I have too many android tablets to test with so take my experience for what it is, but I’ve found that an iPad mini is far and away better than Android tablets for game streaming. Both PxPlay and Moonlight. I’ve tested with what I have, which is an ONN branded Android 14 8” (2024) tablet

Question: how to fix my Kindle with CM
Hello!
A while back I bought a secondhand Kindle Fire HD 8.9 64gb. The person I bought it from had CM installed on it, which was a plus for me. After using it I discovered it was quite slow. It didn't play movies without stuttering and was just slow in general. I neglected the thing for a while, bu

Ball releasing before I lift my thumb.
Is anyone experiencing this as well? It will release before I lift my thumb on maybe 50% of putts and on maybe 20% of regular shots. I'm using a Kindle Fire HD 8. I've used it for about a month so far, but this didn't start until the qualifying round last tournament.
So far I've tried:
