LoL… Really?
1 number apart, but considerably different. Sure.
Difference between x5 and x7 maybe. To pass x6 a device must be submerged to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes.
IPx7 is for a device intended to operate permanently submerged. So not a phone.
That fact your picking the difference shows you don’t know the difference.
IP67 is just a marketing gimmick. I’d be impressed if a phone with this rating would endure 12 months submerged and still function. Who needs this anyway?
Galaxy S5 was IP67 with a headphone socket, removable battery and dedicated microSD card slot. Others have also existed. Taking like adding a headphone socket costs more than 5 cents is stupid.
I’m a Bluetooth buds convert now, but I’d still like the choice.
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.
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.
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?
How’s your WiFi infrastructure? Assuming you have the area covered with WiFi you could go PoC (PushToTalk Over Cellular). There are dedicated handsets you can use for this for as low as USD$50 ea on Ali Express. Being that it’s just WiFi there are no licenses to worry about. Having a 2 way radio type handset makes it pretty familiar, buy you can very much use it with existing mobile handsets. Zello seems to be the de-facto standard for this but i believe other options exist.
All i can see is that as per @Inductor@feddit.de it just switches between the audio sources for ‘DATA MOD’ and ‘DATA OFF MOD’ in the CONNECTORS menu. Seems like a lame missed opportunity to also configure the other parameters of the radio for data. The addition of the ‘PRESETS’ menu seems like an additional missed opportunity to do the same. They describe it as a way we can save the state of the radio to suit digital modes… but then fail to let us save the sates of the most important things needed to be changed for digital modes. Seems like such a massive oversight, i just can’t understand what they were thinking?
The biggest thing killing Lemmy for me is needing a seperate account on every single instance if I want to participate in anything on an instance.
I thought this wasn’t how it was supposed to work.
I saw this post on another instance and tried to reply this exact message but got an error saying I couldn’t.
Using Liftoff if it matters.
Still using the buds I got with my galaxy S4. They’ve outlasted 4 sets of BT buds.
