I think PHP came right at the time that every man and his dog was a "web developer" and writing absolute unknowledgable stuff. And PHP allowed for it. ASP had a bit of a barrier to entry because it required all the MS. Whereas PHP

Wordpress is a great web shell, shame it also comes with a blog

At least with phone batteries, to make them removable, means removing some capacity. Lots of phones squeeze as much cell into every nook and cranny as they can

Because they're specifically engineered to be safe? I can see someone taking open a toothbrush, slapping a generic cell in there and then it going into water and having a fun time

There are plenty of sensors and systems that can "predict" failure and in some cases try and work round them. Do most people actually use them? Pretty rarely. S.M.A.R.T is just trash anyway. But you do need to properly design your

Been there before, the amount of times when you're in shared spaces that you come one day to find your kit disconnected, or even outright buried. We came one day to a plant room where our rack was, to find it was in an entirely differe

Because of a properly configured, boot disk. Just boots once per power cycle. Meanwhile something like the pi, on most images, is writing logs to the storage CONSTANTLY. Not to mention is regularly booted.

Reminds me of years ago, I had to send a load of photos to a client of something I'd travelled 5 hours to photograph. Didn't even check, just took and sent. Then went back. Only to find that the SD card in the phone was dying, and

"Enterprise" Boot SD's in servers love to die. More than likely due to being in a warm box...

More just that lots of standard images don't bother with tmpfs for logging. So all that IO onto the disk kills them

Reminds me of the myriad of secure encrypted apps that are available. Problem is, unless you have people willing to jump ship, or technical friends who like to experiment. You're just chatting to yourself

But even things like SDCards move on, we've already seen that with SDHC. I've had EOL kit in the past that just doesn't support it because it's that old, and thus EOL and doesn't support that standard. Saying "

And also logistics is a race to the bottom, everyone is competing to get more and more packages through the system, and the customers are demanding lower and lower prices. So there's a fair amount of stuff that just doesn't make i

One thing I've always said that with products, especially when they're parts. They should be required to be made "open" as soon as you stop making and/or selling them. They're making you nothing, they're g
