SD Cards
-
I heard that when Microsoft introduced a Chinese version of Windows, within a very short time it had been hacked and was then available for "free" in China.
Once everything is in the cloud, the Chinese and others will not be able to get stuff for "free" by hacking, and millions will be forced to pay for software located only in the cloud.I think that the above is true, but not totally sure. Makes some sense, though.
-
I have no faith in much of the cloud. The cloud has already proven itself to be a malevolent host and no respecter of ownership.
No problem, man, you do you. There are still folks who keep their money in cookie jars and under their mattresses rather than put it in the bank. These acts ain’t hurting nobody else.
Ax, old buddy. You put your money in a. . . bank??

And just this week, didn't the Chines gack the sugar out of a Microsoft product?

Telk you what I can do...If the cloud goes away tomorrow and takes the banks with it, I can still keep my family warm, safe and fed.
Can you do the same?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

My first experience with SD cards is using them in my drones.
For me, it's just baffling how so much video can be stored on such a tiny thing. An amazing step in technology, before everything goes into the cloud (or "in" the cloud).I'm appropriately paranoid of dropping the card on a windy day, and seeing it scurry away bouncing across the parking lot in the breeze while I try to trap it with my cane while screaming for help while stumbling half bent-over and maintaining my chase for 20 yards or more while little kids point and laugh and then entire families are pointing and laughing and I finally fall over completely exhausted and throw my cane the last few yards in a feeble attempt to get lucky, little bastards still laughing along with their asshole parents.
Guess how I know this stuff. (No, Ax, I don't really mean you should take the time to take your best guess, but I guess you can if you want, free speech and all that nonsense)

Sure. It reads like you also put your money in the banks, which is fine.
Notice we haven't even get into what it means to "own" stocks and bonds yet. Let me know when you discuss the meaning of "ownership" when it comes to stocks and bonds.

Yeah, yeah...You want to go into the nobody owns actual paper shares argument. The stocks can go away, I can still feed my family. And no, all my money is not in the bank.
Again, if the cloud goes away tomorrow, can you keep your family warm, fed and safe?

OK, from that statement I take it you do not take physical possession of stock and bond certificates. And, news flash, no one has all their money in the bank anyway. Even the most ardent advocates for “cashless society” keep a few bucks at home to tip the delivery guy and for emergencies. So your statement about not putting all your money in the bank is rather vacuous.
Back to the stock ownership question. You gotta think deeper than “paper shares”. Even if you physically own the stock and bond certificates, what does “ownership” mean when the “stock” merely represents fractions of some collections of assets none of which you possess physically, what does “ownership” mean when the “bond” merely represent I.O.U.s?

How?

How did we get from "What are the advantages of SD cards"? to "Can you still feed your family if the shit hits the fan"?
The miracle of TNCR.
One of the things I really like about this forum.
Opening a thread is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to read!! 555

Another thing that challenges the traditional notion of “ownership”:

Digital items digitally, cryptographically signed as having been sold and “belonging” to someone.

Just keep your stuff copied locally
I have my stuff "in the cloud" via Apple's iCloud service. My home folder, documents, photos, etc.
Oh...all that shit is also backed up to an external hard drive too, just in case.
No, wait...two external hard drive.
Not that I'm paranoid.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

My work crap is on Adobe cloud + an external.
Personal stuff is on iCloud + external.
Photos are Adobe + external. -
