In case this helps, for me when I use it on Android TV with said TV's remote, the arrow buttons on the direction pad for anything require pressing play/OK button after. But if I use the fast forward buttons, it does seek and then just keeps playing.
It's because it has mmo-like mechanics. They said it's because they don't want someone to cheat and ruin things like global orders to free a planet. Ex: someone can cheat and clear missions wayyy faster and overly contribute to if a planet tbat the entire community is working towards liberating from the filthy Terminids.
Oooo, I'd never heard of him until now, and he's apparently a massive inspiration for the writing of True Detective Season 1?! He's now jumped up to next on my list to read!
I know it's not for everyone, and I myself enjoy tinkering, but I bet finding a used Kindle who's firmware stopped being current and jail breaking would be a solid choice.
I just jail broke my older Kindle paper white 7the gen (2015), not even a week ago. I didn't use it that often because it was always sluggish and can't stand non snappy UI.
Holy hell this thing is sooooo much better now. I use KOReader only, and have a launcher shortcut that kills Amazon's "framework" before launching, which stops all of their software from running in the background.
The UI is responsive, more customizable, drains less battery, and instead of ads while sleeping, it displays a blacked out version of the book cover I'm reading.
It also got me started with Calibre to sync and manage epubs instead, and KOReader has a built in tool to connect and sync the books.
It wasn't difficult, but it was time consuming making sure I understood everything first, and didn't miss a step. They even have an app store for jail broken Kindles now that made installing anything needed after jail breaking much much easier. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't made a planner to download.
I was able to use the older WinterBreak exploit, and the current and sadly already patched exploit is called AdBreak.
If Valve can make wireless vr AND fix windows only anticheat, both next year, I'm going to be 10 different kinds of happy. I would love to basically never need my W11 SSD ever again.
I've seen one of these be installed, also 40 ft tall, for fixed wireless internet. Once it was up right and ready, a guy climbed up and installed the dish.
He had a basic climbers harness around his waist and legs, and attached to that, 2 more strands of harness on his left and right, with a large carabiner clip on the end of each. He'd unhook then rehook the carabiners one by one, then climb higher. When he was at the top he used both of them to kind of give himself a makeshift seat he could lean back into, freeing up both his hands.
I get the upset over the battery, but it seems everyone missed this:
I'd hope they offer a discount on a new one if you send in your old.
