Shit. You spoke of it. Sorry for your loss.

That's a good point, and lithium batteries get sparky when the lithium gets exposed. In the boat example I'm not going to worry too much about lead acid batteries, if they leak it should dilute quickly. Honestly unless punctured, I'm not going to worry about the lithium batteries really either. You typically find out about punctures in those rather quickly. Like before the water is the issue.

No expert but do have an electronics degree and somee EE theory courses later in life. I don't think much would happen. Don't be a direct bridge across the terminals yourself and I don't think there will be much of an issue being in the same body of water as a battery with even close proximity.

But I could be very wrong.

Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It's been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it's similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it's been stable

Plus I get to say I'm running my 3d printer on a potato

Yeah, I was texted the other day to fill out a survey and didn't even reply with the "stop to opt out". Just, leave me alone. I'm not excited for Biden but I'm going to do what I need to do. That won't show in any polls.

Devs fault, missed the deliverables promised by mid level managers and/or product owners that were impossible to meet but needed to be released anyway

Not a bitter dev who's been there/done that or anything

Ok, I don't know why I'm even bothering, but here's why I think this is nothing more than conjecture at best and probably just outright dishonest manipulation.

  1. OP's link cites directly the eo announcement, that's where I found the link it. The announcement says literally nothing about scanning your photos and documents. It's about making sure aps aren't sharing your shit in the background. That ai generators aren't marketing it for creating revenge/child porn, aren't monetizing it if they do, protecting your photos and docs from being stolen and disseminated without permission. Not one thing indicates it's about scanning what shit you have on your phone.

  2. OP's link, links to another blog/opinion piece that seems to be the source of the "scanning photos for bad content" junk that I'm claiming has no logical source and is made up bs to rile up the already haters

President Biden wants to probe everyone's smartphones as part of a sweeping surveillance effort.

From which I quote

This proposal implies that mobile operating systems would need to scan and analyze images directly on users’ devices to determine if they are sexual or non-consensual.

There's no linked document evidence of what the op or either of the 2 level deep op-eds are claiming. There is no source beyond the above quote claiming it's implied. It's literally made up. The linked eo announcement says nothing about scanning your phone for what types of content/documents you have.. I read nothing anywhere that implies this.

I don't want shit scanning my phone. I think we all agree that's definitely a long way over the line. I see nothing that indicates that's what this is even remotely close to doing. So why is it being shared and claimed that it is?

Except the announcement doesn't say anything like what the op link is claiming?

I really hate it when questions are put this way. Forget about need. Needs are food, water, shelter, health, etc.

Why can't we just ask, "would anyone really benefit from 1khz gaming display?" Then we can discuss the merits of the subject and whether there's actually a reason to move to it or if it's just more marketing and dick waving points.

It feels like asking if anyone "needs" it is unnecessarily loaded with snark and judgment.
