I was asked what a "portable SSD" is.
My response: "Think of it as a USB stick on steroids."

Strangely, the user interface of some early 2000s Japanese DVD recorders has a smaller border radius on the DVD-VR editor than the CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW file browser, even though the rest of the user interface is very similar.

iPhone of blogger stops working after fall damage: https://t.co/IuPGz7spVl .

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why smartphones should support memory cards. Phone bricked? Data not lost.

[✪⍟Lord Galaxy⍟✪ Technology @LordGalaxy7]

Another bad trend is laptops shifting from full-sized SD card slots to MicroSD, despite no lack of room.
Full-sized SD cards are more ergonomic due to their larger size, have a write protection (read-only) switch, and have a longer life span due to their larger memory cells.

The same people who criticize "cheap-looking" plastic backs on utilitarian phones wear a case over their oh-so-fashionable fragile iProduct.

Smartphone bezels never bothered me.
Limiting performance and charging speed to extend the non-replaceable battery lifespan did.

@karlicoss "All the time" means about as long as I have been using smartphones or was unable to find a page I have seen in the past. To be specific, for at least a decade.

[✪⍟Lord Galaxy⍟✪ Technology @LordGalaxy7]

@karlicoss Your article "The sad state of personal data and infrastructure" is, in my opinion, one of the most important articles on the Internet. I am not kidding. Thank you for your work. You said what I was thinking all the time.

"You don't have a 4K screen" is, for obvious reasons, the dumbest argument against recording in 4K (2160p).
Saving disk space and battery charge are genuine reasons, but not having a 4K monitor/television isn't.

[✪⍟Lord Galaxy⍟✪ Technology @LordGalaxy7]

Whenever I read or hear "slim design", "streamlined", or similar in a smartphone advertisement or product description, my inner alarms go off. It just screams "planned obsolescence" and "sacrificed utility value" at me.

[✪⍟Lord Galaxy⍟✪ Technology @LordGalaxy7]

OK, by all means, remove the "bloat", but don't deny the option of having the "bloat" to power users who do not see it as such but as useful.
