  • This is a gem:

    Of course, I’d also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does idiotic things like that? How did they noty die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?

    But my favorite is not from a mailing list, but a google+ post for opensuse developers:

    If you have anything to do with security in a distro, and think that my kids (replace ‘my kids’ with ‘sales people on the road’ if you think your main customers are businesses) need to have the root password to access some wireless network, or to be able to print out a paper, or to change the date-and-time settings, please just kill yourself now. The world will be a better place










  • It’s a 10" tablet, how big is your pocket?

    My bigger concern checking its specs is this:

    Storage: 64 GB eMMC Flash, 64 GB

    Unlike ram, ssds die after some use. So the lifespan of this device depends on this SD card, eMMC is basically a soldered SD card, a bad quality ssd. I have 3 old tablets with dead eMMC, they are otherwise perfectly fine devices, but unusable for anything

    I’m not too familiar with the surface lineup, but iirc there are higher end devices with replaceable ssds. I think soldered ram is not a big deal in this form factor if it’s enough for the expected use case, but a soldered hard drive lowers the lifespan of your device

    operating system: any

    Have you tested it on all of them? TempleOS, Windows CE, Windows XP 64bit, Amiga? Just to name few. I guess you meant the big 3.

    Also for dependency management there are better solutions than listing them in a readme. The current recommended way is with pyproject.toml
