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 ?

Thanks, I will wait for better android tablets.

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.

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.

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 11 months 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.

you can buy a premium Android Tablet used for a good price, try Swappa.
