@nitpicking @JessTheUnstill the good part about #microSD is that it's a super tiny storage media...

Tho ideally I'd disrecommend trafficking storage entirely for health and safety reasons.

• Unlike drugs swallowed it won't OD but it could create internal injuries!

@voxel @thenewoil personally, I refuse to buy any #phone that doesn't have #toolfree swappable & removeable batteries as a matter of principle.

• Same with real #DualSIM, #HeadphoneJack and #MicroSD...

I just don't accept #Enshittification!

@krutonium @quasigod I mean the advantage is that those devices are supported with @GrapheneOS ...

• Whether you choose them or not is up to you...

Personally, I need my #ToolfreeSwappableBattery, #DualSIM and #microSD as well s #HeadphoneJack and won't negotiate these, so #Fairphone is already loosing me as a customer and my next device will likely be something else...

@noblefeu also das mit Farbe ist ne Frage des Panels.

• Bei #eInk gibt's nur wenige ACeP panels die 7 Farben können.

Wasserdichtigkeit geht notfalls per Hülle (gibt reputable Hersteller die sogar Druckwasserdichtigkeit für's Tauchen garantieren, brsucht halt buttons)...

• Mensch muss in jedem Falle bei jedem Hersteller und Gerät einzeln nachfragen, ob diese entsprecjende Features haben.

Sowas wie "#ePub-Dateien ohne #DRM von #microSD lesen und anzeigen" sollte jeder halbwegs taugliche #eReader können. Ansonsten ist es allenfalls nen "#ThinClient für geschlossene Systeme" (vgl. #Amazon #Kindle)!

@noblefeu ich würde eher zu nem #Sony o.ä. #eReader raten der nativ #ePub-Dateien von #MicroSD lesen kann...

@dalias @StryderNotavi @gantua given that early versions of the #RaspberryPi could be crashed / kernel panic'd with a xenon flash, I'd not be surprised of that possibility.

• And given the early versions up to & including #Pi3B are supposed to run off #MicroUSB, sometimes with as little as 500mA ( #Pi0v1.2 ) and maxing out at 2,4A ( #Pi3Bplus ) I'm shure they are at the lower end of tolerance re: SPI bus voltages for #SD / #microSD cards...

Add to that a card that just barely keep up with it and we get those too tight tolerances between the two, so yeah, it all comes together.

• OFC this is a hardware flaw and not really fixable except with a new board version / swapping certain components.

I'd not be surprised if #SlotRadio would've survived longer as some #PrisonTech- style #transparent #player because a #microSD - unlike a #CD - can't really be turned into an improvised weapon.

Just like what happened with #Tapes in #prisons in the #USA...

I remember #SLIC but sadly it never got traction.

• Needless to say #XMPP with #OMEMO & #PGP/MIME nowadays has excellent support by clients for every relevant platform and there are various other options depending on the use case, threat model and scenario.

I do gladly advice clients/employers directly...

• So far only #Tor and #Monero have reached a level of #decentralization that makes it basically impossible to shut them down even if (key) people working on it were to be arrested/forcibly disappeared/murdered (as had been the case!), with #SelfHosting-capable projects being close behind.

For example, #Briar as a "#airgapped" (or rather '#offline-capable') messenger may be the hottest thing if one needs to #chat with someone stuck exactly in the middle of North Korea and out of reach for Chinese, Russian or South Korean phone networks, tho that still relies on the local #SneakerNet (or rather #TrampingNet) to facilitate the transfer, which is rather common given the fact that #USB #flashdrives and #microSD cards are smuggled there en masse...
