Due to the development process and features of Calibre we cannot outright ban AI/LLM content. We can, however, require transparency about it.

Project posts:

This sub has had a marked proliferation of projects coded with or by AI agents or LLM chatbots and that fact had not been required to be disclosed. Starting today all posts for projects/tools/plugins, including hobby "I built a thing" and "here's my little one-off project", etc. are required to begin the post with a header section titled AI CONTENT DISCLOSURE that accurately and honestly discloses the amount and kind of generative tool use in the creation of the project. Coding agents, chatbots, art creation, any sort of documentation, any sort of refinement, any AI test suite, etc. must be disclosed. A simple "AI was used in this project" is not sufficient. Project posts that do not include the header or that do not seem to accurately and honestly disclose their usage will be deleted, and the poster risks a ban from the sub at moderator discretion. Projects that honestly and accurately do not use any sort of generative tools are allowed to skip this disclosure, but the poster risks a ban if the moderators discover or decide that the poster lied by omitting the header.

Discussions about tools that used generative tooling or create generative output is allowed provided that it is not simply astroturf marketing or promotion of the project and is a genuine response to a post or comment and is not just the generated output from that tool.

Posts about Calibre the project and program are exempt.

Post and comment content:

The use of generative tools to write or refine a post or comment is banned. Posts and comments must be written by a human being not a generative tool. Comments that are little more than "I asked ChatGPT and here's what it said" are banned. The only acceptable use is translation provided the translation is simply that and does not otherwise significantly alter the meaning or content of the original text.

Common reddit bots are exempt but may earn a ban at any time at moderator discretion. Hiding a bot under the guise of a normal human poster is banned. Bots must disclose themselves in each post and comment.

This ban includes the promotion of ForeverTip and their associated products. This ban extends also to any brands that ForeverTip may reorganize or rebrand or divest into or any other products they may launch, both physical and digital.

The brand ForeverTip has earned a reputation as a shady seller that regularly uses astroturfing, sockpuppets, and fake engagement to willfully violate sitewide reddit rules and rules in multiple subs. Promotion of them and their products including but not limited to: ForeverTip titanium stylus nibs, the ForeverPen stylus, their ForeverPlanner, etc. is now banned in this sub. General discussion or mentions of them is not banned. Customers of their products who want to express their opinions of them are allowed, however using that to encourage others to buy their products is not allowed. This is due to the long term use of sockpuppet accounts by ForeverTip to promote their products.

Discussions about other brands of metal nibs, stylus', templates, etc. is allowed provided the products are not made for, sold by, promoted by or for, or have any direct, cross-promotional, agency, or other financial relationship with ForeverTip or have a non-monetary promotional relationship. This also applies to any free giveaways and is not solely limited to commercial sales promotions. Reviewers and influencers who have promoted ForeverTip products are still allowed provided the specific content being shared does not directly promote or link to ForeverTip or their products. Links to comparison sites that include ForeverTip products are allowed provided the specific linked comparison does not link to any retail product listing for ForeverTip. Product links existing elsewhere on various sites do not apply to this ban.

Please report any posts and comments promoting ForeverTip to the moderation team as you would other spam. Please do not report posts or comments that simply mention them.

Reminder: Sellers must still request and receive permission from the mod team before promoting their products. Violations will be removed, and accounts may also be banned at the moderators discretion.

A new quick root has been released for the Amazon Fire Max 11. It runs directly on the tablet to give temporary root access, which can be used to disable app packages and regain control over your device.

Root itself goes away on reboot, but anything you disable stays disabled. With this it's possible to use custom launchers, disable bloatware and block OTA updates (the exploit disables OTAs for you automatically).

This works on the Fire Max 11 on any Fire OS 8 build, from 8.3.1.9 up to 8.3.3.8: https://xdaforums.com/t/temp-root-fire-max-11-2023-sunstone.4798590/

Rooting a device you own isn't illegal and has nothing to do with piracy, before anyone reports this.
