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.

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.

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.

At this point I'm limiting what I access and where. I'm targeting a more 1990's internet experience. I love learning and technical stuff and would miss it if I went off grid, no matter how tempting that is.

I'm actually really trying to play devils advocate... But I'm struggling.

I came to get away from the main stream socials.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

I came to find other like minded people.

These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.

Can it make phone calls?

Anything to qualify that statement or just taking a shot? Who offers better value machines than Lenovo?
