How is the piracy experience on an iPad ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So I am planning on buying an ipad, never owned one before. I have always been an android guy and from what I have heard Ipad os or ios is pretty restrictive in nature so I was wondering how much does it hamper the piracy experience. For example on android I can torrent files of any nature or size without any restrictions and sideload the apk's of paid apps to enjoy them for free, can I still do all this on an ipad or should I just drop the idea and get an android tablet instead ?

I'd say if you want to sail the high seas keep away from ipads. They're so locked down it's crazy. But, others may know more. Will be interesting to see other's feedback.

my brother has a budget samsung tablet. i'm not a fan of samsung myself, but he says it's great. way easier file management too. hmu if you want to pirate anything specific, i may know a few websites.

I'm loving my Galaxy Tab 9 Ultra. It's sturdy, can go in the shower (I don't normally but I wanted to test it), has great multi-window features, has Dex which is also sometimes useful, is snappy, and I can basically sideload whatever I want.

Look at the galaxy tabs. I have one, and it's quite the thing. Mine is the S8 plus. Beautiful machine. Unfortunately infected with Samsung and Google spyware, but at least I can sideload, connect to my computer, run a terminal, etc.

They are super expensive but worth it when you use their features. You can e.g. connect it to a PC, use it as a second monitor and as a drawing tablet for photoshop. Similar drawing tablets from wacom arent nearly as versatily and cost similar or even more.

That said, I just use my S7+ for notes, youtube and comics. Probably not worth it but I love the excellent screen.

This is interesting. What kind of software on PC or just pretty native?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There is a native feature from Samsung and third party apps as well. Third party apps need to be installed on PC and on the tablet.
