I'm trying to use transit in SoCal right now and its dogshit. These stations have multiple floors of parking for cars but no bathroom!!! Positive Train Control doesn't work right a…

I'm surprised that eMMC hasn't seen more of a price drop off like SSDs, mSD and other flash storage. The OrangePi PC+ does include 8GB of eMMC, but I think that was the largest the…

Flagships have been skyrocketing in price and are losing marketshare to the midrange segment, which almost always has removable storage, and often has a swappable battery.

If its walking distance, its far enough away to be beyond the reach of most casual visits.

Body shops would be able to bring in many more workers, and supress wages further. The dearth of middle income jobs in the USA is in part caused by these body shops flooding the do…

It does seem a bit out of proportion, News Corp bought a business that proceeded to sink. I think Peertube and other Fediverse stacks like Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed & Lemmy will …

Six kids and two parents surviving on one regular income could buy a 3 bedroom house in the past. Not great living conditions for those 8 people, but housing did not used to be suc…

China has been cooking the books on their GDP for years: https://geopoliticalfutures.com/china-admits-its-statistics-...

Not abusing workers and not turning Google into an extension of the DoD & Chinese Surveillance Infrastructure is a fringe political agenda? That seems fundamentally baked into Goog…

It hardly "had to be done", and in this process that you've claimed had to be done, many of the best and brightest have escaped the large adtech behemoth. The organization is a hus…

Apple Maps has a deep queue for reports about map inaccuracies, your minimum wait time is a few days 98 times out of 100. This is fixable, but it requires even more staffing than A…

Random I/O is much better on eMMC than MicroSD, which is very noticeable when using a SBC as a desktop.

These user reports take weeks to months to get triaged, making many rather useless.

Apple has taken good stances on most privacy issues, but Apple Maps is poorly run. The main failure is not having something akin to a Google Scout, whereby iOS users could submit i…

This is part of the attraction of alternative boards like the OrangePi PC+, for $32.50 I get a board with fast eMMC, a case and a 5v 3A charger that is all known to work well toget…

Google's Speech API has a new TTS that can be tuned to match a voice with just 5 minutes of data. The Mozilla DeepSpeech/TTS devs were discussing the research paper about it in #Ma…

The Samsung Galaxy J7 and Moto E5 Play (both free under 24 month commitment on T-Mobile) have removable batteries.

Perhaps too many small dental practices though (or there is a massively underserved need? There seems to be a new dental practice every week in Seattle...).

Hence following current NIST guidelines which do not require regular password changes, capitals, special characters or numbers in passwords: https://www.enzoic.com/surprising-new-p…

Fail2ban bans an IP address or range of IPs, not specific users.

The battery is a user changeable part on most mid-range and low end phones. The point of this predatory pricing tactic is to force owners of phones with sub-$200 in value to upgrad…

This reminds me of CorePOS's touchscreen interface. What do you use for Credit/Debit acceptance? If that has yet to be fully integrated, take a peek at Pax & Dejavoo, I would avoid…

Rate-limiting & banning after repeat failed login attempts should be the baseline moat an IT admin or selfhosted infrastructure should have. Fail2ban rules like "after 5 failed log…

A lithium ion battery doesn't cost anywhere near that much, its either poor design and/or profiteering on the device manufacturers part to charge that much for a $15 battery to be …
