Yeah I agree, but that’s the place where the expert I know shared their knowledge. If I had a text based source I would have used that.

Almost certainly not.

It really is these types of features that make me question how the world works. Why are programmers in such high demand as to command massive salaries, but then also have time to produce things like this?

No shit? Well today I learned. That’s definitely going to reduce lifespan. I guess that means you should try to fill your card as much as possible before formatting it.

Yeah but the practical write limit tests I’ve seen for SSDs (from ten years ago) put it well beyond what even a professional photographer would do. We’re talking SSDs that sustained constant writing of random data 24/7 and didn’t fail for more than a year. There’s just something about SD cards. As further “proof,” photographers don’t complain about their SSDs failing on them, even though those should have more write cycles than their SD cards.

Yeah it’s at the level of frequency where an ordinary user with one SD card is unlikely to have a problem, but if photography is your hobby it’s only a matter of time. In a rather informal poll conducted by Chelsea and Tony Northrup, they basically found that two thirds of the most active photographers had experienced at least one SD card failure. It basically was just a direct correlation with how many photographs you’ve taken.

It depends on the storage medium. SD cards will fail if you use them enough. Photographers and videographers will run into to problem every once in a while, especially if they’re a professional. Why SD cards in particular have a tendency to fail, I can’t exactly say. It might just be their form factor making internal physical damage more likely. I say internal, because the issue is that a normal looking SD card will one day turn up corrupted for no obvious reason.

I haven’t heard of any other type of flash memory having lifespan issues for regular consumers.

Do we though? Can’t we ramp up local storage and production with solar and batteries on and in buildings?

Ducks don’t even ask. They just rape. Most birds don’t have a penis, but ducks do. It’s for raping.

It would depend on how you set up your proportional system. There’s a million ways to do it. Under my favorite system, 5-member proportional districts, yes, Harvey would have been elected. The legislator is cut into districts, each district has five members, who are elected using some proportional or semi-proportional method (again, I like harmonic approval). Harvey likely would have won one of the seats in his local district.

I’d have to look up the previous method San Francisco used in order to understand how the council used to work. The proportional method might have been pretty terrible.

I prefer Approval Voting, but no voting system by itself will solve the two party system. We need to move to proportional representation. Something like 5 member districts using Sequential Proportional Approval Voting would be ideal.

But really, anything is leagues ahead of single-winner “choose one.”

Why are they printed out so large?

These comments remind me about how when you try to do something great, the vast majority of the feedback will be from people who were never going to buy into your idea in the first place. The fact that they’re on version 5 tells me there’s demand for an ethically sourced, user-repairable phone with a long support life. Go start your own phone company if you don’t like it.
