you don’t need an iPad Pro to watch video, there’s cheaper models. although honestly watching pirated videos is not a great use case on the ipad. transferring data to it is a pain, it is picky about container formats, and does playing from an sd card actually work?

indigi posted:what map software do you use? I use google on my iPhone and it will route me directly into a +30 minute traffic jam if it saves half a mile. I looked it up and there’s no way to force it to choose the fastest route, they changed it to choose the “greenest” route just raw Google maps. To be honest I think the car satnav does a better job on the route but the interface is dreadful (because the in car touch screen is poo poo) and it doesn't alert me to speed cameras plus the android auto tidal integration is actually really slick the actual Google map display in the car is pretty bad though

the basic iPad is totally fine for watching video. they start at like $275 brand new during sales (more for more storage)

Going through the hassle of running your video through handbrake and using an sdcard adapter is still better than running Anroid

imo i think the android tablet is the better buy if you’re really insistent on using an sd card. it’s a pain to transfer huge amounts of data to an ipad and if you’re watching a bunch of widescreen stuff and can snag one of those older wider format tablets they work great. remember op wants an appliance mostly not a normal tablet. otherwise yes obviously an ipad is a better choice for literally every other use case

i don’t think plex pass is worth it tbh unless you are hardcore into that software and want to stream to your tablet. it is pretty janky, and support for pip and subtitles and things while they work, are not nearly as smooth as other players. vlc on ios isn’t that great either imo in terms of ui. infuse is nice but i haven’t used it in a while.

if you can leave it plugged in I'd prefer an old thinkpad/latitude with a 1080p screen over an android tablet for that use case

i am really surprised to find me saying that if an android table that did its task fine is what is to be replaced maybe there is a right android tablet out there for it. i think just about every discerning person in the world has written off android tablets though, so good luck getting any kind of useful advice on what is the least bad replacement.

Zamujasa posted:yeah. used it in couer d'alene in idaho for a little bit when i was visiting. the place we were staying was down some old roads. When we lived in PA, there were two routes from our rental house to Penn State: one on major highways that was somewhat roundabout, but took about 40-50 minutes on average; and the other, through a state forest, using largely washed-out logging roads, which hypothetically could shave a few minutes off if you have a truck (and stomach) that can handle driving them at 40mph. Guess which one Google Maps preferred? Re: android tablets, I got a hand-me-down Acer or something, and was fairly astonished at just how unusably bad it was. I guess I'm surprised that there are literally no good Android tablets. Well, Kindle Fires, maybe, if you're cool with a kid's toy full of ads and a Great Value app store.

the fires are pretty heinous again though the flaw is wanting to use an android tablet to do something online or run more than a very basic app. as ereaders or media watchers they’re often fine (beyond a certain price point) but nothing else.

we’ve got a spectrophotometer in my lab at work that runs Android. I wouldn’t say that it’s good, but it’s better than the embedded windows bullshit that most of the other equipment uses

If any of these chuds actually gave a poo poo then the Pinephone, Purism, etc exist, but because they've never been shamelessly self-promoting as FREE SPEECH  there exists a vacuum for this douche nozzle to separate fools from their money, and I kinda hate it.

chud: I believe in IDEAS. I have PRINCIPLES. I am going to SMASH my IPHONE in the name of FREEDOM. What kind of phone can I get that will align with my VALUES. internet: well there's the pinephone. it runs linux. it comes with a long list of caveats and feature restrictions. also it's on backorder. but you have 100% control over everything once you have it. chud: That sounds HARD. I will just buy another IPHONE. After I tweet the picture of the first one I SMASHED.

the only thing of value he's really offering is an appstore with banned app, so a webserver with files that anyone can download I expect he's going to shutdown the store because its going to use too much bandwidth compared to sold phones
