Or pick up your any-better-than-lowest-end-Android-device-made-in-the-last-few-years with USB host support, a portable screen, and a bluetooth keyboard. You know, similar to the kind of things datacenters have been using for a decade to manage racked servers.
No, you need to stand up and bash your stupid skull against a wall until you either die or become less stupid. The operating system misrepresenting the size by using a different measurement (binary) than what it is sold as (decimal) is the fault of THE OPERATING SYSTEM DESIGNER. If you survive beating your head into the wall repeatedly, then you may stand up and tell MICROSOFT you're not going to take it any more.
And the final issue I don't think you could charge a phone and use the host mode at the same time.
Sure you could. Power is power. It doesn't care whether a device is the host or not. All it does is follow the wire. Just splice a 5V DC brick into the USB cable and plug it in to the wall. The power doesn't care that it is starting in the middle of the cable. It'll just go towards both ends.
Oh, it's so hard to find such a thing. There's this thing I've heard people whispering about in dark alleys called "NoScript", but I've never actually seen it.
This current reality is that people have started to rely on having their smartphones with them at all times for things such as receiving emergency calls from day cares and schools, making personal calls during normal working hours
Guess what? Your normal "dumb" phone can do that.
accessing password managers
Really? Surely your employer will allow you to install the damn thing on your work computer.
and scheduling calendar events
Ever heard of this old invention called "paper"? They put a bunch of sheets together, draw grids and numbers and month names on them, and call it a "calendar". If you're really desperate, perhaps you could use the internet access your employer provides to access your Google calendar on your work computer.
Bullshit. They PROVIDE great weapons inside the plane, if anybody were actually looking to do harm. Just tear apart one of those aluminum cans they serve drinks from and then shred the faces of everyone within reach. How about bludgeoning somebody with your arm or leg? Better make sure only quadriplegics are allowed on planes. But then they might bite, too. So, only your torso is allowed. You get to be reacquainted with your extremities upon arrival.

That may be good for Linux, but I'm unsure whether Apple getting a semi-intelligent FUD-spewing machine is a good thing or not...
What's *wrong* with the people running this show?
Everything, obviously. Perhaps you should ask, instead, what is right...
Don't you mean the Vulcan We-Are-Not-Droids trick?
Is Google not evil, with usurping AdWord revenue, kowtowing to China, collecting information without end user knowledge?
Without end user knowledge? What kind of fucking moronic twit-brain is this so-called "end user"?

Turning SSID broadcast off is like having the TSA provide security.
MAC address filtering is like having the TSA provide security.
You're very good at finding excuses. I recommend you get out of system administation and go into middle management.

You can get a Prolific 2303 chipset USB-to-serial adapter for $6 from Amazon, which is fully supported by Linux. Your excuse is BS.
Ought to rename it Forces of America Radio and Televsion Service.
Well, the fix for that is obvious. Use vim, silly. :)

SD speeds ain't too quick... Especially if the SD reader on the device is stuck on a USB 2.0 bus instead of directly attached to the PCI(e) bus.
The thoughts of a person who cannot spell coffee are not worthy of any consideration. Bow to the caffeine.
Actually, it's you that is poorly written. You are preventing them from multi-threading input, which is the main task of most games.
My typical password reminder is "Fuck you." Good luck figuring out what my password is with that hint :)

Some day, Mozilla will drop their craptastic and archaic NSS in favor of some modern SSL library that supports modern protocols.

Congratulation! You win the idiot-promoting-further-idiocy of the month award!
FFS, this strange aversion to doing things correctly has got to stop.
