Imagine you went through the pain of learning it to make a web front end. You want to make back end things too, but they all require knowing different languages. You’re not learning another language, learning this one was hard enough! Easier to keep using the same horrible language for everything, of course.

You got soo much victory at there

Did a barbarian write this?

I’ve seen them way cheaper in Britain, guess I must have been looking at the right time

I tried all the Android OSM editors I could find and Street Complete really is a pleasure to use, the others (which are perfectly good in their own right) seem so clunky and old-fashioned in comparison!

I guess it depends on how much you like this sort of thing, it’s significantly cheaper than a pint or cup of coffee. Also it was free when I posted it!

You could probably buy a 360 or ps3 and a copy of the game for that price!

Thanks to @[email protected] for this post which I will be using for several more weeks of Friday posts!

Maybe I have had failures and haven’t even noticed!

Do they? They’re always 4pm on Thursdays in the UK.

It was posted before but that was a month ago

Reminds me of flash game platform puzzles, and I do mean that in a good way

Yeah I’d definitely agree with not using them for critical backups. I think they’re generally fine as long as they’re never holding your only copy of something, but then I’d probably say that about every kind of drive…

the chance of your USB stick failing when you try to read all the data off it after your SSD fails is fairly high

Out of interest how high is “fairly high”? I don’t think I’ve ever had a USB flash drive fail!

Thanks!

Thanks!

What did you do to get the nice terminal output with the colour display and fedora ASCII art? Just a copy+paste in bashrc?

If your phone is encrypted and you factory reset it I believe the encryption key is wiped so the data is gone (unless MI5 are really keen on spending a lot of time piecing it back together, I guess)

Hmm good point. I would have thought if they’re still selling that phone after the rule comes in then they should have to comply, seems like a bit of a loophole if they can keep selling old devices that break the rule, right?

How’s that a bad thing? Unless they’ve already stopped selling that model then you’ll benefit!

Yes, that is the point I’m making!
