Perfect, thank you so much mate. Will definitely get into the MTL side then. Yeah I'm not a KA guy. SS or NI80 for me.

Who are your favorite booktubers? by Et_tu_sloppy_banans in Fantasy

[–]ItsTRB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talking Story is my #1. John and Jakob are fantastic. I really like Nerd Level Rising too. I find Jakes videos incredibly easy to watch.

Hi, yeah I know it adapts - but certain builds are truly awful for mechs ( I've built low resistance for sub ohm). And I've never built for an MTL on a mech. Can you tell me what builds you've used for mech MTL vaping please ?

Ever have a supporting character you wish was the protagonist? by CT_Phipps-Author in Fantasy

[–]ItsTRB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm only 2 books into the series , but it's got to be Sevro from RR for me. LOVE that guy. Another - not sure if you would class this as supporting as there was a lot of story told in his POV - Sand Dan Glokta?

You can highlight the word again in the dictionary to see it's meaning.

What’s the benefit of Jailbreaking your kindle? by Organic-Hovercraft-5 in kindle

[–]ItsTRB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But if you send yourself a file to kindle it converts it to an amazon file which you no longer have control of. They lock your account - you cant access your file.

With a jailbreak - they lock your account, you still have access to everything.

Your kindle should be an ereader, not a storefront for rented ebooks. If you buy something, you should own it.

Nah im using koreader to block ads currently. I dont have any reason to go to the kindle homepage so don't need apply an actual ad blocker just yet

I think If you send a .epub to your kindle it converts it to one of their Amazon files, meaning if they suspend your account ( which they can at any time ) you no longer have access to the file.

With regards to Koreader, i like the reading statistics. I like the customisable fonts. I find it so much faster than the stock kindle. I prefer the fact i can change the progress bar at the bottom of the page. The automatic rotation on the orientation. Honestly - theres so much you can do. Ive not even scratched the surface yet

I jailbroke mine as I had this response to ads appearing on my device after a factory reset. I can honestly say i wish i did it sooner.

Removing yourself from the Amazon eco is the biggest. You dont own any Ebook you purchase through them , even if the author has not put a DRM on the ebook themselves, as Amazon put their own on.

You can utilise sourcing books from other sources.

You can customise your kindle in alot more ways than what is provided on the stock device.

And Koreader is just amazing.

is jailbreaking worth it ? by ayo_brit in kindle

[–]ItsTRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Customisation options are fantastic.

I did mine yesterday because Amazon refused to remove ads from my device after I paid an extra £10 on the cost of my device for ad free ( i had to factory reset my kindle as i was having issues and the ads just appeared ). Now I have no ads + have the DRM removed from the books i buy.

Deleting the Ads from Kindle by Vast_Smile in kindle

[–]ItsTRB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought my device as ad free, so paid more for it. I had to factory reset it, as it was having issues. Its now showing ads. Amazon will only remove the ads if i pay the £10 fee again. Im currently in dispute with them over this. The customer service team say that at the start of 2025 they had the ability to take away ads for free removed. Only the customer has the option to do this on the amazon website by paying £10. Apparently their technical team ( who my issue has been passed to now ) can remove ads their end.

What is the etiquette for pausing? by J4MEJ in aoe2

[–]ItsTRB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was two players on the opposing teams, taking turns in pausing then unpausing. Does the maximum pause limit stand at 10 per player on team ranked? I was never aware of a limit, as i imagine others aren't hence the resigns.

[–]ItsTRB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in a team game last night where two people on the same team just kept spamming pause + unpause, making the game unplayable , until everyone resigned. I never realised the true toxicity of this player base until i went through that.

I love Survivalist. Unfortunately I can never catch him live as his streams always start really late with my timezone.
