This here is the solution for what you want: https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/

You can disable whatever app you want until the system doesn't work any more. Just install an alternative for what you want to disable (e.g. the launcher) and then disable the Amazon version.

I wasn't specifically talking about this product alone, but about the general trend. I don't own any Amazon hardware.

A few years ago, piracy was all but dead because or really good offers like Netflix. All the stuff you wanted was there and the price was ok.

Now to get the same that you got for a tenner a month on Netflix, you have to pay for half a dozen of streaming services.

Youtube forces you to watch more ads than actual content. All services are increasing prices while decreasing what you are getting for that money. And all sorts of products are retroactively introducing ads.

I mean seriously, if someone bought that stick, they paid for it. They shouldn't have to worry about updates actively making the device worse.

It's an industry-wide trend that sucks, and it's one that creates resistance. People start pirating, use adblock and some hack their devices. Not because it's impossible to have a situation that suits everyone, but because they purpously use enshittification to suck more money out of their customers.

Yeah, that is what on demand is supposed to do. But when it freezes, the game already started and rendered the first few seconds on the dGPU. One time I managed to play for ~10 minutes before the freeze.

And it remains frozen. I once waited for ~1h and it didn't recover.

Tried it with and without, same result. It starts on the GPU and the whole system freezes.

Do you use xorg or wayland?

Are you using a laptop that can switch the GPU or are you running Nvidia only? What GPU and driver version do you have?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm running Xorg, because I've read a lot about the Nvidia+Wayland troubles.

That's the really crazy thing. With the market value crash of Twitter he lost more money than the GDP of a small country. Yet, it practically makes no difference to him.

I've heard it was a semi-automatic shoe with bump stock.

Rabatte sind größtenteils fake.

Ich hab bei einer Firma gearbeitet, die Netzwerkgeräte verkauft hat. Wir haben dann begonnen, auch in Asien zu verkaufen. Da hat uns dort ein Partner gesagt, dass man dort nichts verkaufen kann, wenn man nicht mindestens 70% Rabatt gibt. Also haben wir für Asien eine neue Preisliste erstellt, bei der alle Produkte 4x so teuer waren.

That's why piracy is back on the menu.

Why? All the Americans are also keep ignoring that the rest of the world exists.

English isn't spoken only in the USA. It's pretty much the language of the internet.

Of course, I just didn't think Android would support them. Haven't seen a single resistive touch Android device before.
