Luke 14:28-32 bids anyone who wants to build a tower first assess its cost and compare against personal treasury. The advice truly applies to non-monetary resources as seen in the following illustration of a king going to war with an army twice the size of his own. Even if you are the only witness to the foundation you laid, incomplete projects are a constant source of annoyance when you lack the resources to complete them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am in such a situation in pursuing a Linux phone. Even this post is an example. I was going to observe how I probably should have focused my attention on a tablet. It\u2019s basically just a phone without a dialer, right? Alas, as I began writing this paragraph, I figured I should do some background research on Linux tablets\u2026 If phones are wanting, tablets are even farther behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve taken a few days to think about it. When given a choice between a phone or a tablet, the typical user will choose the phone. With the bias towards phones, limited development efforts are focused accordingly. From personal experience, I have observed how apps designed without the larger screen in mind sometimes do strange things if they even install. The same thing happening with an entire operating system is not something I\u2019m prepared to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other news, I\u2019m now active on Twitter @Shadow_8472. I\u2019m still considering my balance of priorities: digital privacy vs. free speech, so at most I\u2019ll be adding around here is a traditional link on my socials page. However, I believe the new direction Elon Musk is taking the platform is an improvement from what it was doing prior to his buyout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final Question<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What projects of yours would have benefited from an evaluation beforehand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look forward hearing your answers on in the comments below or on my <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/letsbuildroboticswithshadow8472.com\/index.php\/discord-invite\/\" target=\"_blank\">Discord Socials server<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning from my Robotics Lab!
