  1. I jailbroken my #Kindle 10 using the new #AdBreak #jailbreak method (on firmware: 5.18.1), as well completed all of the other steps laid out in the wiki and linked video guide including installing the hotfix post-jailbreak, disabled auto updates, installing #KindleForge (which wasn't shown how to in the video, so I just followed the guide on git), and some recommended apps including #KOReader.

    Anyway, my Kindle's now always getting the following crap anytime I'm using an
    app with my Kindle (correction: this crash dump even happens when I'm not doing fucking anything), and my library's riddled with all of these crash dump logs each time it happens, which is a lot:

    Collecting Debug info

    Generating Core Dump file for process scanner. This might take a little more than a minute.

    See
    https://wiki.corp.lab126.com/mediawiki-1.10/index.php/How_To_Use_Core_Dump_Files for instructions on filing at JIRA.
    Well shit, I only saw this happening once during one of the steps in the video guide. Did I just made my Kindle worse, when it was generally 'usable' already previously - where I was only reading sideloaded books, not #Amazon ones, and my Kindle also had no ads - cos I don't live in the US and don't need to pay extra to get no ads. Looked into this but so far, no dice just yet.

    Avoid jailbreaking your Kindle for now until it's fixed.

  2. There's a new jailbreaking method for Kindle devices running firmware versions 5.18.1 through 5.18.5. Called AdBreak, it *only* works on Kindles with "special offers" (ads) enabled, so the Kindle Colorsoft and Scribe aren't supported. blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2025

  3. The average #commercialBreak in #Australia features:

    #Google — buy this device you wouldn't want if you knew what was in it.

    #Apple — same

    Some #car brand — same

    Some big construction company

    A #mining or energy company

    (Daytime) #LifeInsurance every #adBreak

    #Amazon — just buy something NOW!

    A couple ordinary consumer products presented with such OOT #productionValues they could've written an entire #tvShow around them in the 70s for less.

    A govt message of some kind.
