I recognize their username. I would say it is deliberate that they overlook seriously concerning events in a manner that is patronizing and disrespectful to the people they disagree with.

I was excited about Orange Pi ARM but they made an idiotic boot loader that always uses the SD when any SD is present. I think that's unacceptable for an "embedded" thing. This board also has a USB port where plugging in something it doesn't like takes down that entire bus until a reboot.

It's cool to see RISC-V, but I'd go with a different company.

Why is that unacceptable?

If I have an SD card for extra storage and tuck it away somewhere, any interruption in power would mean it needs to be manually reset. I actually wanted something with SD storage that I could turn on and off remotely.

I think the SD card is thought of as the worst tier of storage, so if you're not wanting to boot from the SD card, then the idea is to use something like a USB disk etc. Presumably, it causes more problems (bricked devices) if they don't always boot from the SD card preferentially.

One solution would be to always boot from the SD card and either have it partitioned to provide the SD storage that you want, or use the eMMC etc to provide the storage.

No need to worry, politicians will make it illegal to monitor politicians in this way. Only workers will ever need to deal with always-on surveillance like this.

And it is specifically their buddies in the suits, like Rick Scott.

Crimes in the US are only for individuals (and even then only for poors). If you are a registered corporation you may defraud, steal, or manslaughter without consequence.

Classic Elon Musk securities fraud to publicly declare things, whether true or false, which move the market.

That notebook looks like it opens all the way flat. That's something which has been difficult to find in my experience.

And the video from Jetpens explains how Midori Notebook can lay flat. Check out just around the 1-min mark at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLbGJ-NCR0o

Me too. Containers are so janky compared to what we could have.

I would love to have an open source microkernel OS that works as well as Linux on modern hardware even if the API wasn't stable. I am making assumptions that you could have ZFS and secure boot at the same time without jumping through hoops, containerization without needing fictitious UIDs for every user, and other things of that nature. The monolithic kernel is very frustrating with some things.

The hoops that ZFS has to go through are twofold: licensing and unstable internal API. I don't see how a microkernel (on its own) fixes either of those things.

Why does a monolithic kernel make those features have "hoops to jump through" compared with how a micro-kernel would handle those features?

Calling the author a mindless zombie over KDE/Gnome differences is pretty authentic and usual, the rest was an atypical wild read.
