β€œsnarfing" and "throbber" are two of my favorite niche tech terms

Now that's a word that does not need to be used in journalism.

I've got a 2021 Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet and I'm sick of Amazon's crap. I mostly use it for watching YouTube, any recommendations for a ~$150 (non-Samsung) tablet the same size or bigger with a headphone jack? Willing to buy used.

See if there's a jailbreak or root available.

There's not, it's too new. There's some stuff Fire toolkit could do but it's severely limited on newer Fire tablets.

Can you disable some stuff? ADB?
