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.

Here I am on my phone. I do not desire this format. And nothing you have posted suggests that anyone wants this format.

All it shows is device, not preference.

Anytime something is recorded wide screen my wish is that it remains in that format, regardless of platform I am on.

If I’m on my phone it takes less than half a second to rotate my screen and view as intended, on my desktop I can’t do that.

Also in this case quite a bit of the original was lost, seeing the YouTube version is much better.

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.

Was thinking the exact same thing. If I were Texas I’d put it the call for cheap buses that are save enough for the trip and just take them one way. This is a shit show, the people need help but it shouldn’t fall on one state.

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.

The person that made the claim never responded. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

However I did respond, when I could.

So point stands, an accusation was made without evidence, and that accusation is still there, and now mine and one other post responds to that accusation… that again is without evidence.

My issues is, when I made that last post, why was I asked for a source, but no one asked the person making the claim against DDG for a source?

If the people asking me for a source had also asked the original claimant for a source I’d have no issue.

The practice of asking the counter claimant for a source and not the claimant is rife, unfair, unreasonable and needs to be called out.

If seems far too common to accept a say so when an accusation is made online.

Asking for a source isn’t unreasonable in a more important setting.

It’s more an issue that no one asks for source for the original accusation.

It’s the kind of action that lets baseless and faulty accusations get more traction than the truth.

Can buy one with the money saved by pirating

Is it fair that I have to post a source when someone criticizing doesn’t?

I’m just a passing stranger that just happens to have good knowledge about a significant misunderstanding that happened a year ago.

I don’t walk around with ‘sources’ to all of the knowledge I’ve ever gained hanging out of my back pocket.

This is why “source?” posts are stupid and unreasonable, double so when in response to something where a source was never provided.

Now… that all said, I do have a moment now that I didn’t have previously to provide additional information.

This article… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490515 …Is a starting point, and more info can be found with your own search.

The basic gist was that it was claims DDG pass user data that could identify a user to Microsoft from searches, however this was never the case.

I have to allegiance with DDG… they do an ok job. But I do indeed think it unfair they get continuously accused of wrongdoing, even still to this day as evidenced here.

This is just another case of bad, negative or incorrect information getting more publicity than the facts.

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.
