Hint: Amazon developed it because they love sucking the fun out of everything, while choking us with Adware and profiting from our misery.

I am posting this in the hopes that it will save others from this...crime against freedom. I'm speaking of the freedom to manually change the date and time on your device whenever you want. The freedom to own and manipulate...I mean customize that same device the way we want to because we're the buyers, the owners, and the users.

If you Time Travel in SN, and happen to be in the market for a device, the Kindle Fire 6th gen models or newer are not for you. You can not change the date and time manually, you can not root it for more then a day or 2, because Amazon administrator moderates the devices remotely, roots it right back from you, and "updates" the device deleting the changes you spent days working on! Which wasn't just the date and time thing, the device ran like an adware on meth. I spent 4 days trying to root my device, which I did not achieve, but like a miracle I was able to get rid of the ads...for 1 night. My device was updated and all factory settings were restored The next morning.

One more rant, then I'm done. As if the time traveling wasn't enough, you puke you're mediocre, useless apps and services all over me, making it very clear that you owned, moderated, and operated my tablet and I'm the child who is allowed to use it as long as the parental controls are enabled.

(Side-note: rooting a device is like taking control of that device or "owning it" so you can personalize and use it,

....which, very awesome and very dramatic story surrounding the legality of rooting involving 2 current Acts that contradict each other, the Library of Congress, the US Copyright Office, Australia, Canada, the European Union, the U.K., India, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States  of A making rooting legal for consumers and at the same time giving the weak but Hopeful Small Business  Developers a fighting chance against the Evil Big Business Manufacturors who only want World Technical Domination and complete control over consumors all while crushing the little developers who have a great idea, a dream and knowledge of developing Apps, But they are not done yet...After their defeat with legality, in retaliation they employed genius technical scientists who developed genius technical countermeasures for the sole purpose of squashing childrens dreams and consumer rights for good.

This is a True Story, Dramatized By Using Exaggerated Language While Still Remaining Factual.
