@kev @purism
Well, I didn't say you need it. There's the SD card slot.
(And the battery can be replaced, so that's really not an argument to dispose a $800 item...)
The point is more that v2 might be more convincing for people to buy if RAM / storage are closer to expectations.
Pondering whether v1 has mass-market appeal doesn't make sense to me.

@kev @purism
Few points:
- campaign price was 599, both $100 increases had a +$50 dollar "grace period"
- this is not the price the device should have - it's the investment necessary to bootstrap this kind of device. It can only get out of the niche if people are willing to invest in that vision
Personally, I'd hope that the v2 announced for end of 2020 will have more convincing storage.

I love this post:

"When we first approached hardware manufacturers almost two years ago with this project most of them instantly said “No, sorry, impossible, we can not help you.”. Others warned us, that it could never work, that it was too complicated, “the industry does not do that” and so forth.

And yet here we are, later than we wanted, but we are actually shipping first hardware! It is possible but it comes at a price."

There's a petition to Save the .org top level domain. Apparently, ICANN could still stop it from being sold.
savedotorg.org
I know, petitions rarely work, but I also know that _sometimes_ they do.
Please consider signing if you _run_ anything there, or if you _use_ or _care about_ anything that's on a .org domain. Also, boosting this to others who follow you, would be very much appreciated.

I was rather referring to her participation in the forums. Recently collaboration on the keyboard with the community. But also other topics.
And by work I meant code.

Liebe #Medien,

wenn ihr über die Gefahren durch vermutete Hintertüren in #Huawei-Produkten berichtet, dann erwähnt doch auch mal, was seit @Snowden eigentlich bekannt sein sollte: Dass in Konkurrenzprodukten z.B. von #Cisco und #Juniper bereits Hintertüren gefunden wurden.

Es gibt sogar ein Kartenspiel mit Beispielen für Implantate: shop.digitalcourage.de/nsa-qua

Could have been a Trump quote. Was only waiting for the "It's difficult. Easy if you're smart like me, but really, really hard problem" part.

Die Rheinische Post zeigt die Absurdität eines Mindestabstands von 1000 Metern bei Windrädern. Bei Steinbrüchen mit Sprengungen sind es 300 Meter. Sind Windräder lauter und gefährlicher?
