For someone who knows what a file is, it looks like you made an uninformed decision. It’s well known that iPhone doesn’t allow for much customization.

Do schools give out iPhones? Never heard of that. I’ve seen them give out iPads and that’s because android tablets are trash. ChromeOS is decent enough.

> There's reason iphone is no 1 in us an nowere else: it has to do will limited access to education, so simpler devices are "best".

Oh, so Americans are dumb?

>In the rest of the world is about social signalling: I can afford it. If you had access to good education and you don't care about social signalling

No data to back it up, but from my noob experience, it’s Ubuntu. Google any Linux issue and add Ubuntu as a search term and you have a higher probability of finding a solution. If you look at GitHub repos, they will almost always have Ubuntu/Debian instructions.

> In the end I decided the only real way to tell if what we were doing was working, was to turn it all off, for several months to see if there was a measurable difference.

This is how he should have started. It’s called incrementality. You have a control group with no ads and you compare against a group shown ads. Then you can measure lift.

This is Marketing 101.

It was cool when companies initially did that. Now? Does the average person even type in urls? They probably click on a link. Who cares what the URL is then.
