I don't get what the manga publishers aim to achieve from this. I've bought official translation paper versions of like 20 manga series that I've read through scanlations. If I didn't read the scanlations, there is no way I would ever buy them let alone read them.

There is absolutely no fucking way I would pay per episode like publishers want digitally. They put the dumbest restrictions like I can't screenshot, I'll need to pay if I want to access it and all that crap. That's absolutely not happening. People don't start reading new manga that way.

Apple has a history of stealing features from Jailbreak community, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they did the same to existing apps.

Some companies pay enterprise level prices to browsers (this could also be attributed to many free software) to have a direct line of support. They want to be able to ask "what the fuck is going on with this employee's software" and have a straight on answer; or some insight from the people that made that software. Without that support the product is the same as your typical browser.

My experience with my usb wifi dongle was different. It would work way faster on Windows compared to Linux for some reason until I replugged it some time and ever since it works in similar speeds. I couldnt reproduce what went wrong on the Linux one ever since.

The sponsor ads work when they're neatly aligned aligned with the video's concept. It wouldn't budge me to see a manufacturer sponsor a PC build video where one of their products are being used. Or channels like GradeA where they advertise the sponsors in a similar way to their vids.

What breaks it is when you can feel the ad clearly feels like a last minute insert (which it feels like almost all the time). Even the bigger creators out there do this.

As a fun experience, try downloading any sources you can on libgen about a low level programming language and then try to code on it without ever looking up the internet. Just these sources.

The fact that this is doable speaks volumes about how big of an information source it is. Not everywhere has good access to internet, but the knowledge to progress further is certainly obtainable.

any phone thinner than an iPod Touch 4 is unnecessarily thin imo

GitHub sucks with private repositories anyways. If any company needs a sizable source control utility, just hosting their own GitLab instance will be way cheaper and safer than entrusting it to Microsoft and paying an unnecessary enterprise rate to GitHub.

Specifically the OS download links. If you're running Windows, it'll link you into the media creation tool instead however since this tool is a Windows Executable it'll not work on Linux by default, so they link to ISO files instead.

You can always download the ISO from Microsoft's site. Just spoof your User Agent's OS to Linux and it will automatically redirect you to a Windows ISO download page.

If you want to transfer photos; just plugging the device via usb and enabling USB transfer should let you move them easily.

TeamViewer app should let you transfer files between both. Alternatively you can use Google Drive; or whatever cloud storage solution you have.

There also exists a seperate application from Apple if you want to syncronise music files.
