The more-common term for a "drawing machine" is a "plotter", no? (I guess you wouldn't normally call a non-automated "drawing machine" a plotter — but why is that?)

I'm guessing it's because they think that even with a custom domain, some deep headless-Chrome-scraper-based OF-link scanning (or just human flagging!) will catch on and get them blocked within a few weeks anyway. Which would make

No, I mean, "not allowing you to run arbitrary code" is just a side-effect , not the design choice . The design choice is market segmentation. In the Windows case, they can enforce your inability to install/enable Hyper-V

It's not about running arbitrary code, though; it's that you're specifically trying to use the exact thing that the cheaper edition has removed from it to create market segmentation . In the case of Windows Home, that&#x27

Not many; the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil Pro is considered by many to be the best-in-class drawing tablet. And the Surface Pro frankly sucks for digital illustration — it's far less responsive, with far less control. The next-best option

This isn't real "arbitrary package downloading", though — Apple still audits all the code that goes into these repos (which is why they can't just keep them up-to-date.) It's essentially just offloading of some of

My understanding was that iSH is the same kind of thing that e.g. Swift Playground for iPadOS is: both ship with an internal userland of binaries, including a compiler toolchain, embedded into the app (that Apple can audit); and both allow

Apple would rather people buy an iPad and a cheaper Mac, e.g. a Macbook Air. And many of their customers do — despite only needing the Mac for one or two things. These customers, in my personal experience, mostly end up gravitating toward
