Yes its one time for android, if you're earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there's also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you're just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well
From the perspective of FOSS developer:
I simply don't want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.
Android has more ways to distribute, and the "official" way is one time €25 fee and that's it.
If I wanted to use the touchscreen, I'd rather get a tablet or use my phone. I would like to see the capability to open actual apps, not just chrome. In this case, even ipad is more capable than chromebooks because it can actually run lots of stuff, even video editing software.
are you really trying to say that chromebook can do more than m1 macbook lol
please show me an example of working in blender with chromebook
I guess (in their mind) their laptops are "premium" product and making a cheap one will lead to brand damage.
Plus, I remember how bad was previous 12 inch macbook, people will probably be very catious about it (if they ever make one)
What? Apple is still releasing good laptops, m1 makbook air was unmatched for its price for like 2+ years and is still a machine that can last 6-10 hours under workload
More than that, I never saw political or controversial "influencer" content on YouTube at all. It's mostly tech reviews, memes, travel and photography videos, just exactly what I watch.
Algorithms are so good these days it's kinda funny to see someone being angry about being offered to watch the same stuff they usually watch
