Are the old URLs available on archive.org by chance? |
|
Great question! I checked all the removed URLs on the Wayback Machine: Available on archive.org:
Not available on archive.org:
Would you prefer I update the PR to replace the working links with their archive.org URLs instead of removing them, and only remove the discoversdk.com ones that have no archived version? |

It doesn't hurt to keep those links (replaced by the archive copies) if reasonable archival versions of the page exist. For the discoversdk.com links it's sad that there's no copy, but can't be helped. Drop those. |
