Video Description

Check out my sponsor PCBWay for all your printing needs!: https://pcbway.com/g/1MrF5H Amazon sells MILLIONS of low spec, low powered fire tablets that are destined for the trash before they're even shipped. They're locked down, bloated, and only good for one thing: to sell you more amazon products. But what if we could change that? Let me show you how to run things like Fire Toolbox, so you can get the play store on your kindle fire tablet, run widgets, turn it into a stream deck, a music player, and a LOTTTT Support the Channel: https://patreon.com/dammit_jeff Join the Discord!: https://discord.gg/MhTNvkNY3B Fire Toolbox: https://xdaforums.com/t/windows-linux-tool-fire-toolbox-v42-2.3889604/ Deskthing: https://deskthing.app/releases SpaceDesk for 2nd monitor: https://www.spacedesk.net MacroDeck for Stream Deck Support: https://macro-deck.app Fullscreen Kiosk Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ozerov.fully&hl=en_US 0:00 - Why Amazon Tablets Suck 1:36 - Fire Toolbox 4:25 - Unrestricted Tablets vs Restricted Tablets 7:23 - Running custom android on amazon tablet 9:30 - Gaming on the Fire Tablets 10:48 - Smart Home Remote (Home Assistant) 12:40 - I made my own Dock! 15:36 - DeskThing 16:46 - Turn your Tablet into a 2nd Monitor 18:03 - Turn your Kindle into STREAM DECK 18:46 - The state of the Fire Tablet Jailbreak Scene Follow me on bluesky!!: https://bsky.app/profile/dammitjeff.com Keep up with me on Instagram!: https://instagram.com/dammit_jeff Also on twitch now!: https://twitch.tv/dammitjeff For business inquiries reach out to me here!: [email protected]
