I had cleaned up as much as I could off of ours, but it was still unusable. Visible latency entering in the unlock PIN, slow scrolling in apps, poor battery life. Just beyond frustrating.

I heavily prefer Apple (found this from the main feed), but just had to share my experience. At the end of the day, the Fire 7 for kids is the epitome of “you get what you pay for.” $50 tablet with $50 tablet performance.

Huge disagree on the Fire tablets, especially the 7”. The one we have is unusable with how laggy and slow it is.

I enjoyed it, it made me want to re-read all the books again. Looking forward to S2!

I only got maybe 20 levels into the game, so I’m really looking forward to seeing the full experience. I only just got it recently, and figured I’d just wait for full release to play.

I’d even argue that most platforms are directly adversarial to a users individual privacy. User data is such a hot commodity these days that it’s even beyond planning your own privacy, but you’re essentially farming out your data for free.

Disclosure: I use Discord and plenty of similar apps, but it’s important to protect yourself.

Very well said - opsec is definitely important.

Oh ho, I’m not a student anymore but I work at a research institute that is part of a school, so I still get the good old .edu email. Thanks!!

IIRC this is also coming to game pass in March.

Yeesh, this looks nice but I would hate to drop $80 and not dig it.
