Heck, there were a couple times when I had to double check the title that I was in fact reading a James Bond novel, that's how different this one was.

Apparently this was one of Ian Fleming's least favorite of the books he wrote, hence why he only allowed the producers to borrow the name, none of the plot.

Did Duo change the "Words" practice section?

It had been a matching, left and right columns, exercise, now its these flashcards? Which suck because Duo does nothing to teach the transliteration they want and if you're one letter off (and many include two or three letters in a row for the transliteration) it marks it as wrong, and I swear half the flash cards were vocab that haven't been taught yet! To make it worse it doesn't tell you what you did wrong, like the simple word cat "neko" came up and it still didn't accept it!

Either there's a bug and it's expecting Hiragana (but the keypad entry is still only inputting English, other lessons I've seen it transliterate automatically but not here)

Like I could go thru the practice exercises without too much issue before, but now, I haven't been able to complete a single one and only completed the lesson when it gave up on me marking every single attempt wrong.

Logging into my account on my parent's FireTV stick?

I'm on vacation at my parents house, and I'm trying to watch a movie I've purchased on my Prime Video account. I'm able to log into my personal Netflix and YouTube accounts no problem, but for PrimeTV, I don't see the option. I see where I can "Change account" but clicking it takes me to the "Deregister your Amazon account" page and I don't think that's the option I want just to try and watch a movie?

I checked, and both me and my Dad are synced on the same Amazon Family with sharing enabled.

Is there not a simple way to just log into my account to watch what I've purchased, or is that all what "Deregister" is?

First of the new Zords appeared at my local Target. Of course it's just one ea of half of them, so I just picked up Firebird to start
