Got an old iPad from my parents and I'm going to use it for .cbr and ebooks, but goddamn Apple sucks at designing operating systems. It doesn't have a file browser (unlike virtually every other mobile device in existence), meaning you have to download an appropriate app, connect to iTunes, access that app from the program, and load individual files -- not folders -- directly into the app. Deleting the app, of course, deletes these files.

What the fuck were they thinking, that nobody using an iPad would have a need to sort files? That effectively means apps can't share files. What an unbelievably asinine way to design a tablet. And it has no native apps for viewing pdfs or other common documents.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Welcome to the wonderful world of iOS, enjoy your stay.

It's because it's not a computer in the true sense of the word. It's only meant for data consumption. You can save the files in iCloud or Google Drive if you want to keep them. I use the iPad professionally to keep brochures and other marketing material to show my customers. Privately it's just books, comics and movies.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Yeah but at least you can get ForeFlight and never have to touch a paper chart or approach plate or flight calculator or estimate fuel loads or do a manual weight and ballance again.

iPads are banned in the E-2D because big navy assumes China is spying via the camera and microphone. Good for planning though.
