Comment Re:happened to me today (Score 1) 281

Hmm, that's odd. For me it's usually very good at finding filesystems regardless of the partition table (though come to think of it I've never actually tried with a partition that starts too late, only too early, but I don't see how that would affect it's method on a deep search). If you haven't already reformatted, etc. and do want to try to recover I would suggest running it again and trying different options and such (particularly look for the "deep" or "advanced" one, I forget what it's called off the top of my head).

In phones with removable batteries, the SD card is generally hidden next to the SIM and requires moving the battery to get to it. So you can't swap while the phone is usable at all.

Sorry, but that's just plain not true. I've had 3 different smartphones with removable battery and SD (holding off on getting another because those features are so hard to find now). In exactly 0 of them did you have to remove the battery or SIM to change the SD card. To change the SIM card, yes; to change the SD card, no. (On the last 2 you do have to remove the back cover -- snap-off -- but not the battery)

That would be good. I also think browser makers (especially mobile, but even desktop) should have an easy feature to fake the window size they send to the website. Add that to the "Request desktop site" feature in the mobile browser and that would resolve 95% of my objection to responsive sites.
I agree that specifically mobile sites are likely to hide features too, but with those at least I can get the non-mobile version trivially.

Comment Please NOT responsive (Score 1) 166

I despise "responsive" sites, because they almost always hide functionality, and you can't even get the normal "desktop" version because the whole site adapts based solely on screen width. At least with crappy mobile sites you can change the user-agent ("request desktop site") and get a usable site.

Yeah the privacy thing bothered me at first but I grew comfortable with it the more I thought about it, given the other aspects of the society (trying to avoid putting too much in terms of spoilers here but basically I feel within the framework constructed in the story it doesn't actually hurt anything to lose your privacy).

Comment That's pretty much what I do already (Score 1) 303

I figure if I had to go to Stack Overflow for something, it's likely something that some future reader (or myself) may want more context/explanation on, and the Stack Overflow discussion generally contains a lot more than whatever snippet I happened to take. So I tend to include the URL in a comment.
