It's a neat phone. The P10000 Pro looks really amazing. Huge battery. Built like a tank and selling on ebay for just over 200 bucks. I may get one soon. Thanks for the info, I'd never heard of Blackview.
But a big part of any space exploration is getting into orbit. Just attaining escape velocity is a huge challenge. If this enables a safer and cheaper way to achieve orbit then that's a huge thing. Apparently it is decades away if possible at all.
I think you are right. A lot of very creative people now are free to just use the hardware without having to fight against the deliberate crippling of the hardware by it's creators. You'd see someone hack the Playstation to get it to do cool stuff and then a firmware update would wipe that out.
There's plenty of evidence that volcanoes are dangerous. If you hang around one while it's erupting, it's all on you. Regardless of political affiliation.
As long as it doesn't go off like Krakatoa did in 1883. That pretty much obliterated the entire Island killing many miles away. Some of the pyroclastic flows reached the Sumatran coast 25 miles away, having apparently moved across the water on a cushion of superheated steam. That would be "the big one."
I had a facebook account 10 years ago. I almost never posted on it and just used it to look at pix and videos my kids posted of my grand children. It finally got to be too big a pain in the ass though. I deleted it and 90% of my SPAM disappeared. I felt like I was being assaulted. Too bad, I can see where it might be fun if it wasn't for the way they try to take over your life.
I never have that problem. I hand them cash and so far it's never been hacked. I use a CC for major transactions and online purchases but if it's not a lot of money and I can pay cash I do. It's more convenient for me and safer for my account.
It took weeks for him to collect any real money. That's the point, it's chump change for major risk and bad punishment. If he was going to get a couple of million in one check then sure, but those kind of checks get looked at differently.
This is nothing new. Governments propagandize. We do it as well and have for decades. I'm not sure why it's such a big deal now, I guess because the US media that overwhelmingly supported Clinton, first against The Bern and then even more stridently against Trump, got outplayed. Propaganda, in the eyes of the MSM, is their monopoly in the USA.
The reason this is so easy is that only a total fucking idiot would do it. There is no way to get away with this. Yes, you can run amuck for a few weeks, then your life will be totally destroyed. I might try this if I had terminal cancer and was going to die very soon, and no conscience. The costs to make this impossible are vastly higher than the minor damage done by the occasional fool.
He's got plenty of company there. The 7th floor is full of them. Congress has been content to let them abuse their power for decades and now they've gotten to the point where they feel they are entitled to act as they see fit regardless of any rules or laws. I blame Congress for all of this, it's their damn job to oversee these agencies and to reign them in. That's what they are there for.
My daughter's neighborhood had several cars broken into. The neighborhood watch has a facebook group that alerted members. They all polled their surveillance cameras and each found the same van casing their houses throughout the area. They emailed all the pictures to the local Sheriff's department and they caught the van in another area the next night. Cameras are everywhere now and if neighbors unite they have an amazing amount of coverage.
James Comey specifically stated that Hilliary was not prosecuted because "she had no intent to break the law." So intent and mind reading do play a role in what laughingly passes for police work in the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.
What will it cost? If it costs 100 times as much per ton they might as well not waste their time. We hear about all these miracles but it seems they are decades, maybe a century, away from being practical. Well, maybe one day.
So if it's not illegal, why remove the ads? Lots of things that are bad ideas are legal and advertised. Youtube occupies a monopoly position and they're starting to flex their muscle.
Ban plastic food containers. I grew up with everything in a bottle. Milk bottles, coke bottles, ketchup, mayo, everything was in a glass container. We took the coke bottles back to the store for the deposit and the kids used that to buy candy and more cokes. Plastic is cheaper but not if it's going to poison us.
Maybe a combination of all 3. China is the picture of how to operate Tyranny. in the modern age. The old style bombastic Khrushchev type dictators don't do well in this day and age. You've got to have some ability to go along to get along. He can build his country or he can keep it a barbaric little backwater.
USB is problematic anyway. Where I worked if you inserted a flash drive into a computer it would lock you out and send an alert to security. Good way to get fired.

It's only a little over $200. The main thing is that battery! Damn!

I'm always amazed at what people use a Pi for. While bad mouthed for it's limitations it seems the Swiss Knife of tiny SBC devices.

Agreed.
Security that I control is good. Security that controls me is not good.

They could hardly be any worse.
Sure, plastic is cheaper in the short run. But the environment is getting saturated with it. What will another hundred years of this bring us?

The reason they didn't want flash drives connected was to avoid people copying files to them.
