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.

Still using the buds I got with my galaxy S4. They’ve outlasted 4 sets of BT buds.

LoL… Really?

1 number apart, but considerably different. Sure.

Difference between x5 and x7 maybe. To pass x6 a device must be submerged to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes.

IPx7 is for a device intended to operate permanently submerged. So not a phone.

That fact your picking the difference shows you don’t know the difference.

IP67 is just a marketing gimmick. I’d be impressed if a phone with this rating would endure 12 months submerged and still function. Who needs this anyway?

Galaxy S5 was IP67 with a headphone socket, removable battery and dedicated microSD card slot. Others have also existed. Taking like adding a headphone socket costs more than 5 cents is stupid.

I’m a Bluetooth buds convert now, but I’d still like the choice.

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.

What PC game broke your OS? That’s mad.

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.

Absolutely.

As convenient as Amazon is for example, how is it fair that one guy profits off the labour of tens of thousands.

Just one example of how the internet has made some things worse, not better.

You suck in 1998?

The power that major tech companies weild combined with the addiction the vast majority of the population have to their products is telling me otherwise.

If anything things have gotten worse. Used to have 6 different supermarket bands in my town, but despite population booming we’re now stuck with a duopoly that has 6 shops between them (Coles / Woolworths) and 1 minor left over (Aldi).

That’s what I’m seeing as a 40+ Aussie that’s lived in the same town all that time.

Motherboard is fine.

Corsair AXi 850w PSU is what you need.

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?

Wooooosh
