Just waiting for Elon offer to fight her
Because they had no budget and used z-list actors or whatever staff were in the office that day.
.mod files for music. 3-5mins+ of music a piece with a storage footprint in the KB range. Mostly free, tons available online. Check out Mod archive for an easy web interface or ZXTune if you’re on android.
I don’t know how to feel about this.
I have had this happen. Mostly with weird, old, or cheap (or some combination thereof) hardware. Like sometimes the connection will hitch for a moment then three or four letters will come out backwards. Couldn’t say for sure what the cause is but I suspect either the controller in the board itself is jank, or there’s some kind of protocol / buffer mismatch. I have no solution, but it’s not just you.
I switched to Kvaesitso from Nova. It takes a lot of getting used to because it does most stuff differently, but I’m finding it light, efficient and functional.
I’ve done this successfully, but you need to jump thru quite a few hoops. These instructions are for Kindle only. I think dedrm can cope with Nook encryption but I don’t know how to do it. It was a while ago now, but to the best of my recollection:
- Get yourself an older model Kindle. I used a Kindle 3 that I found at Goodwill for $20. You may have to rejig your home WiFi if your model doesn’t support the right version of WPA.
- Register it to your Amazon account somehow. IIRC, you have to try and fail to do it from the device, then Amazon will email you instructions.
- Install Calibre and setup the dedrm plugin. It’s pretty well documented.
- Download what you want onto the Kindle. Pretty sure you have to use the Amazon website for this because of SSL issues on the older models.
- Setup your Kindle with Calibre. This is also pretty easy and and well documented.
- Grab the DRMed books off the Kindle into Calibre.
- Run the conversion process in Calibre to remove DRM and convert to (for example) epub.
- Optional: Jailbreak your Kindle and install KOReader to get a bit more value out of the obsolete brick you had to purchase to do this. This is a whole other set of hoops.
I’m not totally sure all this still works. You’re honestly probably better off getting a Boox device and downloading stuff from Anna’s Archive or similar.
