It's okay Snarf, we know you did nothing wrong.

β€œsnarfing" and "throbber" are two of my favorite niche tech terms

[–] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I like it! What a great word. I'm gonna snarf it

Found the Thunder Cat.

Now that's a word that does not need to be used in journalism.

[–] Broken@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's OK, they changed the headline to say "slurping" instead. Clearly much better.

Why was SCRAPING off the proverbial table??

[–] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is the worth as news? Ain't that an open secret already?

[–] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 6 points 10 months ago

It's good to keep pounding this info to normies. Maybe they'll understand one day.

I've got a 2021 Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet and I'm sick of Amazon's crap. I mostly use it for watching YouTube, any recommendations for a ~$150 (non-Samsung) tablet the same size or bigger with a headphone jack? Willing to buy used.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

See if there's a jailbreak or root available.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's not, it's too new. There's some stuff Fire toolkit could do but it's severely limited on newer Fire tablets.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 10 months ago

:(

Can you disable some stuff? ADB?
