Thanks, I'll see what can I find second hand but yes, if it's significantly easier to transfer I will just get a full set.
Shit, meant to say 'Now that's close'. Stupid typo.
That's 400-600 Euro. Bit much to just try it out. Maybe I could find something second hand... What's the benefits compared with starting with mobile drum pad?
If Guitar hero set worked for you than for example this:

should also be fine, right? It even has two pedals. Would that be a reasonable starting point what would later let me move to full drums?
They are becoming more essential by the day.
Exactly, they are becoming essential now. They are still not essential and definitely were not essential 14 years ago. That's all I'm saying. Expecting that everyone will invest a lot of effort to support a project that does not deliver any value to vast majority of users is silly. 14 years later the need is slowly growing so the support is materializing. That should be the approach from the beginning: build something people need.
'Giving them platform'? What is that supposed to mean? It's not like they gaining anything from my CPU cycles. No one knows what software I'm running on my computer.
I'm not depending on any software as long as there are alternatives. And no, the point is not to disagree with large companies. Big corporations make contributions to Linux kernel all the time. As long as it's truly FOSS and they don't control it it's not an issue. If the company controls it it's not really FOSS (like Chrome or Android).
Also, not using their code is not the same as telling everyone else they should not use it. You can use whatever you like. Complaining online that some community was not nice to you is IMHO silly.
Again, not essential to vast majority of Linux users.
Why would a recruiter know about all the technologies? He knows what technology is required for a given position and doesn't care about all the other stuff in your profile.
Where I live police monitors those things. They will even check pawn shop inventory for jewellery reported as stolen and you have to show an ID to pawn anything. You would have to sell it to some random guys on the street which would be risky.
None of those features are essential for average user. None of them are even 'nice to haves' for like 90% of users.
I don't think stealing would be the hard part. Selling the goods would be. To steal large sum I guess I will drive a stolen car through a jewellery store's window. I believe this had fairly high success rate with Romanian gangs doing this many times in France and getting away with it. To steel a car I would look for someone leaving it running while and getting out to for a moment. I think I would be able to find one in a couple of weeks. Than smash the widow, grab what I can and run. Risky but if I'm dying anyway it would be worth trying. Turning it into cash would be very difficult though.
