Comment Re:And I wont buy it (Score 2) 98

I don't know, lots of kids these days are on their phones 6-10 hours daily, I don't know how they do it but there you go. If they can afford it it's really their business whether or not a high end phone is worth it.

My own phone was a high end model too, it'll receive major OS upgrades for 5 years and security updates for another year thereafter so it doesn't seem that stupid to me. If I wanted to it has good resale value too.

Comment Re:Cytokine storm (Score 1) 284

Chloroquine exerts direct antiviral effects AND suppress the production/release of tumour necrosis factor alpha. So both.

The cytokine storm is also why Adalimumab is being trialled. Adalimumab is a TNF Inhibitor specifically. Not that it'd help much even if it works, Humira is extremely expensive and in very short supply.

"“The results show fingerprints are good enough to protect the average person's privacy if they lose their phone. However, a person that is likely to be targeted by a well-funded and motivated actor should not use fingerprint authentication.”
"Tuesday’s report was quick to point out that the results required several months of painstaking work, with more than 50 fingerprint molds created before getting one to work. The study also noted that the demands of the attack—which involved obtaining a clean image of a target’s fingerprint and then getting physical access to the target’s device—meant that only the most determined and capable adversaries would succeed."

Good for you that you live in a place without cell congestion. It's a growing problem in urban areas and it's the real problem that 5G helps with.

Here in Canada sub-6 5G is active in several cities now as they focus on 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz first, rather than mmWave. They'll also enable 600MHz 5G which doesn't offer better top speeds but still give better management of congested cells.

Indeed. He's basically an engineer who's become a CEO and had several huge successes. So his ego is a bit swollen, he's rich and privileged, he's bad at stopping his mouth and the world is watching.

People need to understand he's a human and an ass sometimes but he's done a lot of good too and basically wants to do good. So don't go all binary on his ass, he's like an onion like all of us. I stink too.

Indeed, me neither.

I use third party services for email/calendar, notes, cloud storage, etc. anyway (though I do use the iCloud free tier for device backup) - which is also why it's been very easy switching back and forth between Android and iOS. I haven't noticed any ads for Apple services.
