Back in my teenage ps3 days, my then neighbour’s didn’t set a password and the WiFi was completely open.

I agree on principal, but in reality it would feel like chatting to tech support or chatgpt.

Besides, bitter sweet, the bitter makes the sweet so much more sweeter.

It would be good to be back in work asap, having a gap in employment been very detrimental for my employability. Getting far few interviews than before for lower level jobs.

So I need a gap filler. I have sent an email back to Hr asking for confirmation, my hope is that they are reasonable and legally savvy enough to give me an actual trail. I am however worried that with that confrontation they may choice to drop the offer.

But beyond that, their pension scheme, clocking in and even promotions (pay increases) seem to sign that they are a company that want to pay as little as possible.

I did a trial at my last job, took an hour where they had me soldering an old busted PCB and filling paperwork for employment, proof of address, banking details etc etc, which I was happy to do. And this current place that demands physical labour for the role, I’m slim built and assumed they’d see if I could lift and move stock, or use a till, communicate with customers, all this can be condensed down to an hour really and I would happily do that. Free labour though, the company smells rotten.

My mistake, trial shift.

For that I would go the route of any mini pc with ddwrt’s development and an e-ink screen. More io, more affordable and much easier to develop on!

Its running an older version of android, 4.4 KitKat and its massively stripped down with system apps. Keeps in lean, but fully functional. As a tinkerer and an enjoyer of digital books, this scratches an itch which jailbreaking didn’t.

I used the white winter jailbreak, then (guide)Installing android on your (aging) kindle e-reader

Read the PDF to get I good understanding of the processes involved. Also one of the tools is in Chinese but once a list of text is shown press 8, I saw someone in the thread pressed something else and bricked they’re Kindle, but its all covered in the PDF guide.

I was pretty content with that too but then with one of the updates I had Amazon asking for registration and network connection every time I powered on. That and defaulting to store screen instead of my library. When I first got the pw3 this wasn’t an issue.

I would recommend the white winter jailbreak.

I don’t have gaps on my kindle. And even has limited system apps as it needs to be light for the hardware

If I had to buy an ereader I would buy something that is native android but my pw3 had been passed to me from my grandmother, which I cherish the device but I care deeply about privacy and freedom so hackdroid is a great middle ground.

My kindle PW3 runs android well. If anything it feels faster as no notifications about logging in, registering.

I was running only arch on my surface pro 7 and my amd desktop, then last week after an update it seemed gnome and Linux surface kernel weren’t playing nice and had bricked the install. I have switch the laptop to Debian but I tend to stick with arch, like op as I am used to it, I now run Debian as it is known to be stable.

I would love to find a new distro but for me its the sunk cost fallacy, I have put so much time into learning arch and to repeat all that - this new distro would need to offer something wildly different.
