Concrete is gravel, sand, cement, lyme, and water, mixed in various ratios.

There's a lot of variations and additives that can change how quickly it cures, often to speed it up or slow it down to account for weather (temperature and humidity play a huge part in how it cures), or to modify the pace of how it cures so you can keep building on it if you're building vertically.

It's a simple concept that gets incredibly complicated very quickly.

Big rocks, little rocks, cement, water.

As a consumer you can't trust companies or software engineers to make correct decisions about security, either. The blade cuts both ways and everyone is at fault here.

Even if I replace the speaker from a telephone, and the keypad stops working a month later, I have voided the warranty already by doing the speaker change as they can't know if the now not working keypad was done because of you or a failing unit.

This is false. They have to PROVE that the repair that you made caused the keypad to fail in other to void your warranty, at least in the USA. Most people are misinformed as you are however, and they'll TELL you that's the case to make you go away, despite it being illegal.

This is the way I implement it as well.

I've also heard of folks using syncthing. I'm sure there's plenty of ways to sync up but I already had a nextcloud instance so I went with that.

I see, so you're assuming that the only difference between your unnamed non-US system, laws, tax code, and culture is that your tax info is publicly available? If it works for you, it must work for everyone, and Americans are just dumb? Got it. If only Americans had such wise and worldly problem solvers.

I can tell by your reply that your mind is already made up so whatever.

People's financials are private.

Why should you know what charities I donate to, how much I make in a year, whether I'm paying child support, whether my wages are being garnished, how many houses I own, etc?

Even setting aside the whole "none of that is ever your business unless there's a very good reason" bit, having someone's financials available like an open book is so rife with possibilities to abuse/discriminate I can't even begin to imagine all the ways it would be used in a negative fashion.

I'm sure he could tell. I just think he thought he could help, but eventually resigned when he realized that he was less effective than he expected he would be, and refused to be complicit in the administration.
