The wife won a brand new 11-inch iPad today at work. It's a nice pretty blue one with 128GB of storage.

She's letting me set it up now and play around with it. Oddly, I've never owned an iPad before, because I don't really have use for tablets in any way.

I have a techy artist question from a mutual on discord.

[SOLVED]

"Probably a long shot but Ill try anyway haha. Does anyone use a Huion Kamvas tablet and knows wether you can use it with any USB 3.1 USB-C cable or just the specific one from Huion?"

So, do any of you #MastoArt #DigitalArtist cuties have any pointers re: Huion tablets and USBc cables?

Worse is even the #Tablet market: #Android #Tablets may be plentyful if you just go sheer listings, but in terms of #MarketShare they are negigible in "the global north" and thus not interesting for #developers to even bother adapting or testing for unless they themselves are #GAFAMs.

  • It's really fucking sad when @thunderbird is one of the few #Apps that I know that properly use Android Tablets' screen estate at all. Allegedly #Microsoft's own Apps do so as well but I myself have no #AndroidTablet and can't bring myself over the gag reflex trying to sideload #OneNote or any other App and having to deal with yet another shitty account...

Whereas on #iPadOS you get AA+ and #IndieGames worth their money by a long shot.

  • Don't even get #developers like @fuchsiii started on how piss-poor premium Apps on #Android sell and how that Tablet segment is essentially dead outside of markets where people can buy a house and a years' worth of necessities for the price of a single #iPad...

And that's why there are only #PayToLoose / #P2L aka. "#PayToWin" / #P2W games for #Android as #piracy is rampant and statistically noone is willing to pay for a #OneTimePurchase #Game on that platform.

A technology institute is calling for caution over accidents involving digital devices, following a series of fires caused by foreign objects entering the USB-type charging connectors of digital devices such as laptops. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/ #japan #nite #tablets #schools #children #mext

The Japan Times · Technology institute warns of digital device accidents amid a series of firesBy The Japan Times

@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

  • Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.
