Be practical many devices including the one that you use to type many of your messages in only have space for microSD

You're not supposed to take your micro SD cards out and leave them on the countertop

@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...

@Linux_Is_Best personally, I'm sad #GrapheneOS is only available for very few devices, none of which are repairable or have the required feature set I need (real #DualSIM, 3,5mm TRRS Jack, toolfree-swappable battery, #microSD slot)...

• I wish for some good #Android - #ROM that does the closest to being @tails_live / @tails / #Tails for mobile, which forces all #traffic through @torproject / #Tor...

@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...
