What does it do? "Like android has" isn't very descriptive :D

because its not about jit per se, its about marking pages of memory as executable. doesn't matter whether you compile it or load it from disk, you need to mark the memory as executable so the cpu will run it, and that isnt something "normal" ios apps are allowed to do.

Yeah no question, well written instructions (iFixit ๐Ÿ’–) are better than even a well produced video, but I'd say the barrier to producing a useful video is much lower than to writing/photographing equally useful written instructions.

There are definitely cases where i vastly prefer video instructions to text though. Depends on what the instructions are about, the style of editing etc.

For example, seeing someone disassemble/assemble something is much more informative to me than a text that only vaguely describes where to find the next screw or clip, or that misses some important detail because the author thought it was obvious.

A game (not exclusive btw) is coming to your Plex server?

Okay but would you prefer the alternative where anything with root permissions (either apps with privileged helper processes or any pkg you ever installed) can modify the OS in whatever way it likes and permanently and invisibly install some kind of malware/spyware?
