What, you’ve never edged while waiting to see a heated debate?
No it’s not. You try wating for an hour with your dick in your hand edging while waiting to see some serious… ahem… debates over global warming.
Android warns you every step of the way if you do stuff the manufacturer and Google don’t advise (basically, anything that doesn’t come from the PlayStore or messing with services and permissions). If you’re an average Joe, certainly you’re not gonna do those things. Manually installing apps not in the PlayStore requires you to first find those apps, which is not something your average Joe will do. Messing with permissons or services, again, regular users wouldn’t even know where to find those settings or what they mean, let alone know what bypassing those will do… and you get warned all the way through the process. Even if you accidentaly tap on something, if it’s an advanced setting, it will awarn you, and you have a countdown before you can tap Yes or tick the “I agree” box or whatever. Certainly a regular user will understand that this is not something to be messed with, so it will not choose to bypass those settings.
What skill, if you use whatever the manufacturer tells you to, they are all the same.
No build for iPhones, huh…
Remind me again why people buy those…
Why not just install ReVanced?
Read on the Mint forums a thread a while back, like from 2012 I think… someone had the same scanner as me and wrote to Hamrick about it, see if it’s supported. Unfortunatelly, no, it’s not… though this was a while back and maybe it’s supported now, who knows, will have to try I guess to know for sure.
In any case, VueScan has some generic drivers in it, but it’s far from that it supports every device out there. In general, it needs drivers for it to work, no different than any other scanning application.
