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

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

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:

Can I use a wired Xbox One controller with XCloud?
I’ve been using my Bluetooth Xbox one controllers with XCloud for a while, but the Bluetooth seems to interfere with the streaming quality, making the games unplayable at times. Could I use an OTG cable to play with a wired controller instead, or is this feature not supported?
For reference, I’m r
