  • Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

    I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

    They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

    Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

    Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

    Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.







  • The person that made the claim never responded. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

    However I did respond, when I could.

    So point stands, an accusation was made without evidence, and that accusation is still there, and now mine and one other post responds to that accusation… that again is without evidence.

    My issues is, when I made that last post, why was I asked for a source, but no one asked the person making the claim against DDG for a source?

    If the people asking me for a source had also asked the original claimant for a source I’d have no issue.

    The practice of asking the counter claimant for a source and not the claimant is rife, unfair, unreasonable and needs to be called out.

    If seems far too common to accept a say so when an accusation is made online.






  • Is it fair that I have to post a source when someone criticizing doesn’t?

    I’m just a passing stranger that just happens to have good knowledge about a significant misunderstanding that happened a year ago.

    I don’t walk around with ‘sources’ to all of the knowledge I’ve ever gained hanging out of my back pocket.

    This is why “source?” posts are stupid and unreasonable, double so when in response to something where a source was never provided.

    Now… that all said, I do have a moment now that I didn’t have previously to provide additional information.

    This article… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490515 …Is a starting point, and more info can be found with your own search.

    The basic gist was that it was claims DDG pass user data that could identify a user to Microsoft from searches, however this was never the case.

    I have to allegiance with DDG… they do an ok job. But I do indeed think it unfair they get continuously accused of wrongdoing, even still to this day as evidenced here.

    This is just another case of bad, negative or incorrect information getting more publicity than the facts.
