Given my experience with microSD cards, I wonder how reliable that device is. Is it even possible to write the full 1 terabyte successfully with a good chance?

I surely can't be the only one who sees open down to the hardware replacements as the only solution to this type of problems.

Usually the code is not important, just the specification. Data sheets and explanations of how the hardware acts will do, they can keep their secret code.

We must internalize the costs. 1) People must be held responsible for their actions no matter if it's in their free time or at work. You do it, you are responsible for it. 2) Those that give unlawful tasks to others as their boss must

You are saying that easy economic development is more important than taking responsibility for externalized costs. Why are people so crazy about money as to rationalizing fucking others and even themselves over?

When I see that articles about the same thing in different languages state different and incompatible numbers, then I always think that this is an obvious and easily solveable problem; separate the data from the language and reference it in

My argument was solely that of the capitalists fallacy, i.e. that monetary value and desirability are not always identical. Each case needs its own consideration. However, there are streets in London of very highly priced completed uninhabi

Sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way. I didn't mean to specifically target any person with what I wrote. I was rather well aware that what I wrote is visible to the public, and I tried to word it to address any reader.

Coffee also makes the milk taste bad. Caring for an infant is a stressful and unforgiving task that requires mental stability, so I'd recommend to avoid coffee completely while caring for a baby.

If you have a binary blob that works only in conjunction with the specific kernel version 3.14.69 with a specific patch set, is that then a driver for Linux? It comes down to what information you are trying to convey and what the receiver u

Drivers for Android are not drivers for Linux. You cannot get them and compile them together with the kernel from kernel.org and install it. That is why the devices are stuck on unmaintainable ancient kernel versions.

Most devices are basically unusable because they lack documentation and specification. It can be painstainkingly and slowly reengineered, but when is that done, if ever? I think the easier way is to spend money on devices with proper docume

You cannot run "Linux" on your "Linux phone" as in going to kernel.org, downloading the source, compiling it and installing it.

Who is so delusional to think they are so superior to other humans as to think that the others should be constantly tracked and watched by them? The damaging effects of that surveillance are similar to that of denied freedom of expression
