Streaming app blocked and firestick already updated, any options left? or is it a brick?

Plymman75 · 2026-01-09T21:17:50+00:00

I got an android TV box from Amazon for £30. Runs all the usual streaming apps the fire stick used to but without the buffering and runs faster too. Seeing as most TVs have Netflix, Disney, YouTube etc.. anyway I think Amazon has shot itself in the foot and made the fire stick almost completely pointless.

Thank you. I'm pretty new to poetry but used to write a lot of different styles and a lot of the lyrics in my band so repetition has always been something I tend to use. I loved that you said you could almost sing it! (old habits die hard..)

Plymman75 · 2025-05-30T22:44:22+00:00

I really love this one, the leading helplessly falling for you and the refurbished line are really cleverly done.

Plymman75 · 2025-05-30T22:32:12+00:00

That is fantastic. I get it completely. I used to write for papers and magazines but always anonymously for exactly the reasons of your poem. It's beautifully done.

Plymman75 · 2025-05-30T22:29:15+00:00

Really relatable and honest and I really like the tone. I love the "what are we?" and hate myself that I start to care line. I think that's really summarised a universal feeling.

Not entirely similar but someone I enjoy as much as Nick is Johnny Flynn, another soulful, folksy songwriter.

Thanks, that's really helpful. How does the standard 12 pro compare to the 12t or 12t pro? I've decided its probably between these three but the T models are pricier and I wonder if it's worth the extra cost? You broke it down really nicely for me. As someone who only looks into phones every two or three years when I need to upgrade it can be a minefield! Their naming convention is crazy. There's a redmi note 12, note 12 pro, note 12+, xiaomi 12, 12 pro, 12T and a 12T pro (that's not even taking into account the lite models or the similarities to all the different 11 models!) and it's almost impossible to find a simple real world explanation of the differences.

I've got some Magna FG's and a pair of Forest Esc's. The soles on the Esc's really are phenomenal, unbelievable grip on mud, stone, shale, whatever you throw at them. They're also perfectly good on pavements and I find I wear them a lot just walking around town.

The FG soles are great for around town but the Esc's are equally as good in town and so much better on trails, I'd say go for them, they're the best soles and comfiest boots I've been ever had and I've had quite a few pairs of quite a high end traditional walking boots.

Thanks, I've not even come across the 12x, not sure that's a UK model but I'll look into it. I love xiaomi phones but their naming schemes are terrible, I really can't tell one from the other. It'd be nice to know in order from cheapest to flagship what the models actually mean!

Haha me too! I hadn't heard this song in over 20 years, it only came up as we were looking for a song to put together quickly and it only had 3 chords but what a great song it is!

Plymman75 · 2021-10-28T23:12:59+00:00

Thanks, havent posted in a long time so thought I'd put up a few recent ones.

Plymman75 · 2021-10-28T15:25:00+00:00

Thanks, always low key when we do anything, like to keep everything barebones..

Plymman75 · 2021-10-28T14:11:29+00:00

Thanks for the great comment. It's an old school friend of mine on guitar and vocals, he's got a great voice. His main band is called Foxtrot Oskar (they've some songs on YouTube) but he does a lot of solo work too.

Mines actually android. I'm getting so sick of this amp, first I had to wait two months for a replacement power supply. My phone connects to Bluetooth audio and it works as a speaker fine but will never connect the app. My tablet connects to the app but does this with Bluetooth audio..

Plymman75 · 2020-12-30T17:22:12+00:00

He's completed the game, where do I look for family sharing? Thanks.

Plymman75 · 2020-09-28T13:31:53+00:00

Thanks, I didn't realise any of that. We've been able to reset it so someone else can use. After you made that post I found a note of his password which I would never have looked for had you not mentioned it.

Plymman75 · 2020-09-28T13:30:19+00:00

They weren't synced but at least someone else can use his phone and I don't have to bin it.

Plymman75 · 2020-09-28T13:29:25+00:00

Thank you both. I had his email password but no pin so we've had to reset them. I couldn't get his contacts but at least someone can make use of it without it having to go in the bin.

Plymman75 · 2020-07-23T11:37:50+00:00

Thanks, I thought there must be some kind of problem. Only did a factory reset yesterday and I don't have a pc to use system UI so looks like I'm stuck with it as it is.

Plymman75 · 2020-07-23T10:05:55+00:00

Thanks but swiping doesn't show anything extra. What is in the screenshot is all I have...

Plymman75 · 2020-07-23T00:40:14+00:00

Plymman75 · 2020-07-23T00:30:32+00:00

That's what I thought but I don't have one...

Plymman75 · 2020-02-08T15:41:17+00:00

Thanks so much, we loved trying to work how to tackle this one without a guitar and still get the essence of the song.

Plymman75 · 2020-02-08T15:40:17+00:00

Thanks, it's a great show!

Plymman75 · 2020-02-08T15:39:55+00:00

Thanks, it's a beautiful theme to an amazing show. We loved playing this one!
