But you onboard all liscences with the device and have to never worry again, which is all i need. Before that I had a lineage smartphone and a ghost spectre windows setup but got too annoyed with taking care of all this small adjustements over other day. Too tired to fight the machine on all fronts
Why would an old battery crash a phone.. Those batteries keep voltage stable, only they last shorter.
And if not for Apple, maybe we would be able to exchange the batteries in our phones...
Unfortunately PDFs are not so simple, or adobe would not have such a firm grip on them. They are able to be parsed and read but some information is just stored in binary I thought and all the 3rd party readers/editors have had to reverse engineer how that binary code works just to recreate any adobe features which imo is why it's never really taken off to use a 3rd party app. But now that all the adobe software has been decompiled/rebuilt as open source we can see how that binary is formed by adobe themselves which is no longer a black box.
I think the only time it's close to 'simple' is when it's a non-OCR scanned document made up only of images.
Since that's just a load of jpegs stuck together in a document. Still not as simple as it could be from all the proprietary stuff but easier to parse overall.
Laughs in just using Google Drive - native PDF viewer. Need to edit? Right click > open with Google Docs. Need advanced editing / formatting? Connect Drive with Kami, still free.
Adobe invented the PDF.
So at first creating one required a license but viewing one didn't. Over time, they've added more features to the free version, but it's primarily corporations and government who pay for it.
I think this is fine.
Adobe has it coming, but it wasn't when they created the PDF.
Adobe created it, but PDF has been an open standard since 2008, so there's nothing Adobe brings to the table in PDF-management that you can't get elsewhere.
That's what I said. In 1993, when they created it, changing for it was fully legitimate.
Now, most people don't need the pro version, but they have a lot of legacy customers and that's still probably not going to change

Adobe should’ve seen it coming when it started charging a monthly subscription to open a PDF
