2 months agoI’ve a number of 1GB + 2GB models. Admittedly none in the last 3 years but some are 8+ years going strong. I know of some others with no issues but maybe I’ve been lucky

Do you want reliable, or do you want cheap? You must choose 1 from that list.
If you’re not planning on putting anything critical on it and you’re doing backups, and you don’t mind being without its use for however long it would take you to replace it if it dies, pick anything.
I’ve never had an SSD die on me Yet but I don’t buy cheap brands though I don’t buy top of the range and I usually buy at a good deal. Crucial MX has been reasonably priced in the past.

Is that what space Karen and crypto bro scammers like Friedman use to justify not helping people right now and instead pumping money into their vanity projects but claim that will help humanity more?

Not everything that is beneficial is measurable EA ignores the wider impacts of our activity EA does nothing to address the root causes of poverty

Rule 41 of the internet - there’s always a relevant XKCD comic.
I’m not sure that the maths in it is correct - I know there’s some criticism of that in particular example but I think it holds up as long as you make it long enough and don’t just use common short words or common phrases. Its also bad if there’s a pattern to your passphrases e.g. only using colours, or sports team mascots, or all words of the same length, etc
And where possible use MFA (unless it’s SMS based, then I wouldn’t bother - I suspect when businesses offer that they just want to collect your phone number and don’t care about security).
Just a slight correction - the old recommendation of using random chars, numbers, and symbols is no longer best practice as it causes more issues than it solves. New best practice is use long passphrase with minimum 16 characters but I’d recommend minimum 24 for future proofing. That sounds like a lot but “mary-had-a-little-lamb” is 22 chars and not hard to remember or type. Obviously don’t use exactly that password (since it’s mine & passwords should be unique 😉)
It’s still possible to prevent you wiping the phone with the sim in. Admittedly that would work most of the time but all that’s needed to change that is a someone watching the right YouTube videos and spreading the word.
If your phone is encrypted and has the correct security settings then your data isn’t vulnerable. Unless it’s a government agency or something like an APT. If that’s the case there’s little you can do besides not keeping any valuable data on it.
It’s unlikely they care about your data though. Not unless you’re wealthy enough to be bribed. The main concern for them is getting caught by tracking, depending on how much law enforcement cares.
What makes you think I’m angry?
You keep asking people for proof but yet you provide none for your claims.
You’re focusing (obsessing) about the wrong thing - you made up your mind as to what you think the solution is before you even asked the question and your rejecting the right answers because they don’t confirm to the answer you want to hear.
If someone steals your phone, it’s gone. “Locking” the sim card slot will not prevent this. Make your peace with that.
Sim card in or out, phones can be turned off. If the problem is as ubiquitous in your country as you suggest, law enforcement doesn’t even care that if they didn’t turn off the phone it does not matter. If law enforcement does care, they’ll start using other techniques (Faraday bags) as soon as people start getting jail time. Despite your assertion otherwise, not all criminals are dumb and the ones that are, are still smart enough to copy the ones that aren’t.
You won’t be able to track them, you won’t get justice, the thief’s will make money, the world will continue to rotate just the same. Try addressing the problem elsewhere.
1·1 year agoHard disagree. Most people think that volume has a correlation with signal quality and shout during phone calls. Some people do it all the time (shouting instead of talking) regardless of being in the phone or in person… If you haven’t noticed this then other people are probably noticing it about you if you think most people use acceptable voice loudness on a call…
Happened to me
They are ripping you off on both the patch panel and network cabinet. A patch panel shouldn’t cost you more than $50 unless you have very specific requirements and would do fine for years and years. The one they’ve quoted you isn’t actually expensive, just has a massive markup for them. Same for the comms cabinet - bit more expensive but a 6u one should be less than $250 and in reality you could just use a normal furniture if all you’re putting in is a patch panel and a switch.
If this was me, I’d review every quote and invoice from this builder and likely end up firing them if not considering legal action because it’s highly unlikely that they haven’t done the same to you for other quotes that you just didn’t catch.
Edited to add: a 24U server cabinet from the same maker is $653 and you were quoted almost that for a network cabinet that over 3 times smaller.
Something like below is what you’re looking for and is only $189:

31·1 year agoSimilar for me on the jerboa client. It’s not every time but most of the time and it’s very frustrating to have to wait 20 seconds for a page to load and then get “network” error, which can happen 5-10 times in a row. This comment keeps failing to post as well.

Don’t have much personal experience with BX but they’re probably fine. But once you have backups of anything you care about the worst that can happen is you need to restore those backups. If its running a service you can’t do without then maybe a backup pi?
I have RPis running on SD cards for years with no issues so realistically you probably won’t have any either but better to be prepared than not. And it also means that if you mess something up you can restore it to when it worked.
