Hard disagree. No one should do anything if they don't understand the consequences. It's no one's job to baby proof the world. If someone hasn't learnt that lesson yet they might be paying looks up PinePhone price $399 to learn it.

A lot of people write SW without underestanding the consequences. See recent NPM disaster for one example. Or Firefox (UI, "features") for another example. Ok, and Solar Winds for the best example.

I wrote software without understanding the consequences. That's how I learned.

Nobody paid me to do it, sure, but I did anyway.

The PinePhone is $150 with the convergence model being $200. The unreleased Pro model is $400, but this hack presumably wouldn't apply to that one.

The pro an rk3399 which deals with the MMC supplies itself so it can actually switch the voltage in software
