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.

Home ownership is 2024

The process varies from country to country. Let me know where you’re from and I’ll try to point you in the right direction.

Sure, give it a go. The bands and the learning you get access to as a ham are a valuable tool.

But don’t be that kind that gets a licence just for ‘prepping’.

Having the gear without being proficient in it’s use or having someone to talk to is pretty useless.

Second reply here. I didn’t get it either. Is it really a meme if no-one knows it?

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.

Don’t worry about getting anything wrong. Most people are pretty excited to speak with someone new or that doesn’t come on air often.

We’re all just normal people, done of use are even a little introverted.

Just say what’s on your mind.

“Hi, I’m Joe, happy to be speaking with you, in kinda new to this and am a bit nervous. Anyhow how are you and where are you from?”

Chances are that will spawn a conversation that feels less forced and more natural as you move forward.

I’ve messaged you my email address. Never private messaged on Lemmy before so I hope it works. Just say hello and we can maybe catch up on echolink or discord.

Anything we can do to help with that? I’m a little mic shy myself, but it goes away as soon as a good topic starts being talked about.

You got access to Dstar/DMR or some other way of communicating internationally? I’m in VK3

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.
