always wanted one of these models then prices skyrocketed. now there’s not much of a point as the primary novel feature, uploading, was reverse engineered for all other NetMD models (ones that take standard batteries and have screens that don’t burn-in), just need a WebUSB browser and go here: https://web.minidisc.wiki/
lol people getting upset over markdown in commit messages getting banned. I can’t remember ever seeing markdown in a commit message on any of the projects I worked on. Immediate red flag for a new contributor.
> I'm pretty skeptical of all things cryptocurrency, but I've wondered if something like this would be an actually good use case of blockchain tech…
So the really funny thing here is the first bitcoin exchange had a Web of Trust system, and while it had it's flaws IT WORKED PRETTY WELL. It used GPG and later on bitcoin signatures. Nobody talks about it unless they were there but the system is still online. Keep in mind, this was used before centralized exchanges and regulation. It did not use a blockchain to store ratings.
As a new trader, you basically could not do trades in their OTC channel without going through traders that specialized in new people coming in. Sock accounts could rate each other, but when you checked to see if one of those scammers were trustworthy, they would have no level-2 trust since none of the regular traders had positive ratings of them.
Takes time to bring up devices, LOS is a volunteer project, and manufacturers don’t send them devices like they used to. Finally, no matter what they rely on the manufacturers releasing kernel source for a release and some take months and ship squashed and/or incomplete source. Availability of bootloader unlocking is a factor but what I just said is the bigger reason for the delay.
My understanding of the system webview is that applications can share the resource instead of each using their own copy, reducing memory usage and improving multi-tasking. Facebook's solution seems to side step that benefit. I use the fb browser much less frequently than my normal browser, and id rather not use the fb browser at all. I imagine this is true for most users, so the security benefit seems overstated.
This is my actual complain with Electron. And with modern programming languages like Go and Rust. Static compilation is such a grevious waste of memory & caches.
There's Tauri, which does use a dynamic loading approach. But the various browsers it uses are nowhere near as capable and featureful as chrome, which is so sad. I don't know when it got started but there is https://github.com/tauri-apps/cef-rs now, using Chromium Embedded Framework, which is pleasantly modern & can share a binary too; rad.
It's a real ding to Google that they had to do this very significant workaround to the janky issues with WebView. The amount of resources required to build a parallel custom Chromium with all the changes they listed is enormous and fraught with problems. Just to get around stuff that should have been baked in.
I wish they'd chill on the release schedule and keep it to once a week or less. I keep it maintained in my Gentoo overlay but oftentimes when I go to bump it, they push another release. Since this submission was posted they've had yet another new release.
For the most part they use the same or lower frequencies. N71 (600mhz) is lower than any of the 2G/3G bands and requires less cell density than 3G (UMTS/WCDMA) did.
> 5G infrastructure isn’t limited to tall easily visible radio towers like 4G and before;
Nor were earlier technologies. DAS systems get used in large buildings/cities and were done with 4G as well. Small cells and femtocells have been a thing since at least 3G era.
> 5G transmitters are small and relatively inexpensive, making them very common.
Transmitter cost wasn't the primary limitation before, the options for unlicensed/lightly-licensed spectrum were low before and the standards weren't really designed to use them as primary carrier until NR. Also you had to run way more components to run earlier technologies, the stack is just smaller for a NR deploy.
