• I want to use the external SD card to transfer files between my Pinephone & my PC.
• Android phones do not support writing to the external SD card after Android 4.4.
• I used this feature with old Android phones and was very happy about this feature.
• postmarketOS supports writing to the external SD card, for instance on the Pinephone.
• One issue I had was with the permission on Ubuntu to write to the SD card I used in the Pinephone:

• It is also not easy to open a file with Abiword from the external SD card of a Pinephone:

• I was able to install postmarketOS on the external SD card of my Pinephone.
• And I then could use a card reader to read the SD card with an Ubuntu PC
• and open an Abiword file on the Ubuntu PC.
• I was able to open an Abiword file there.
• but could not save it again to the SD card from my Pinephone with my Ubuntu PC.
• Writing to the external SD card is more tricky with Ubuntu Touch than with postmarketOS:

• If I understood it right it is basically not supported by Ubuntu Touch.
• But if it is possible to install postmarketOS on the external SD card, it should also be possible to install Ubuntu Touch there.
• Another issue with Ubuntu Touch to choose for me personally on the Pinephone is if it supports the Pinephone keyboard now or not.

But as a conclusion it is better to choose for the application described here postmarketOS than Ubuntu Touch. PostmarketOS supports writing to the external SD card, but not Ubuntu Touch. And postmarketOS supports the Pinephone keyboard but Ubuntu Touch did not support the Pinephone keyboard when I tested it.

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org

According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and scalping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and scalping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and scalping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and scalping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.

What is a scalper?

A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
