Sad thing is there is no way to securely communicate via ham radio.

But I’d be fully open to going pirate!

And with regard to unlocked bootloaders, I think it’s the manufactures wanting to lock away choice and options that is the issue more than the government.

Yeah, is a Pico… $5

This is already happening with smart phones.

Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.

So you’d need 10,000 of them to generate 1 watt.

Sounds useless.

And medical. Suppliers if CT, MRI and X-Ray gear are notorious for wanting to sell new gear and not providing software updates to work on new operating systems.

The same reason there are 98 characters in your message.

edit… Incase you were serious… how else would you represent less than 1%?

I’d disagree with this.

VPS is opposed to a dedicated server, and actually is a kind of shared hosting because as a VPS user you a allocated a ‘share’ of resources on a machine where others also have a ‘share’ of resources.

Shared housing more typically refers to simpler web hosting where multiple users have their website servers from shared hardware.

So what is the standard fast charging solution they’ve choosen?

The site doesn’t say.

Are we going to see USB-PD in more phones now?

I’d love to see all the different manufacturers standards bugger off.

I know waterproof Type C ports exist as electrical components. So the test is up to the manufacturer to correctly implement it.

Ultimately, Type C is no worse an option to other ports.

At this point I’m limiting what I access and where. I’m targeting a more 1990’s internet experience. I love learning and technical stuff and would miss it if I went off grid, no matter how tempting that is.

I’m actually really trying to play devils advocate… But I’m struggling.

I came to get away from the main stream socials.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

I came to find other like minded people.

These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.

Hard disagree. Android user here. The number of times if had to show iPhone users how to use their shit is annoying.

Workflows agree no better on a fruit phone than an Android device half the price.

That’s how we differ.

You’re focusing on being radical and using emotional buzz words (death of children), where as I’m actually interested in changing the status quo with regard to cars, and have been effective in doing so at a local level without making an ass of myself.

I share what I’ve achieved when practical and many good discussions come of it.

What have you done today?

Yell at the internet about ‘trucks’ that very few actually use and get a few pats in the back for it?

The difference is, fuck cars is an ineffective and damaging community when it comes to influencing positive change, and you think you’re part of the solution when in fact your part of the problem.

People are never going to take a community like that seriously while so critical and full of negativity.

Lol… No one is going to join your little war when the see the brainless mindless posts that you lot like to circle jerk over.

I’d love to see a massive reduction in the dependence on cars, but you lot are doing more harm than good picking on non issues and making shit up.

Can it make phone calls?

I have already made that comparison, and still have found it double the price of other cases that you describe.

Cases from recycled materials should be cheaper, as they are don’t having to purchase virgin material, not more expensive.

Anyone charging a premium for recycled material products is usually targeting and taking advantage of ‘green’ customers.

The ability to recycle most plastics in 2023 is pretty standard unless they’re overly cleaning or bleaching the material, in which case it is no longer environmentally friendly.

I like the Fairphone 5 but €40 for a case is unforgivable.

I’m feeling like it’s a gouge because they know not many (if any) 3rd party cases exist.

Hence why they have transmissions that ensure they’re in a favourable RPM range at all times.

That’s true, but also dumb at the same time.

The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

So really, it’s complexity for complexity sake.
