The one missing feature is to allow the Homepod (standard or mini) to take a feed from an existing TV/Receiver.

Apparently, you can setup Homepod as speakers for Apple TV 4k, but I don't think you can get TV to send sound through Apple TV to the Homepod.

Ask the correct question. Do masks prevent infections? The answer is no, they do not prevent 100% of infections.

The more interesting question is Do masks reduce the number of infections? The answer is yes, they do reduce the number of infections.

The follow on question is Is the cost of wearing masks low enough that the cost-benefit ratio is positive? The answer to that is also yes.

Overall wearing a mask reduces your risk of being infected or passing on an infection. That will reduce the spread. It is not a panacea that will reduce your threat level to 0%.

Just needs to be relatively cheap compared to Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

It is possible that we could see a mandated maximum seating (or minimum spacing) that would make flying a lot more comfortable than it was.

This would eliminate the tendency to keep downsizing seats to get more people on each plane to be competitive. If all airlines have the same restrictions that behaviour stops.

This would move fares up, but possibly that would just return them to where they were a decade or so back. Not to the outrageous (by today's standards) levels of many decades back.

From the airline's perspective, this also lets them keep more planes busy (which they already own and need to keep busy to pay for) as the passengers per plane go down but revenue per flight stays constant.

The only money is on the Climate Change side. Many millions of dollars going to NGO's and environmentalist groups to promote the Alarmist Climate Change agenda.

Very little money gets to the skeptics because even Big Oil doesn't want to get politically attacked if they support with cash.

From a WHO report on The cardiotoxicity of antimalarials, no reports of sudden unexplained deaths:

"Despite hundreds of millions of doses administered in the treatment of malaria, there have been
no reports of sudden unexplained death associated with quinine, chloroquine or amodiaquine,
although each drug causes QT/QTc interval prolongation. Unfortunately, there are relatively few
prospective studies of the electrocardiographic effects of these drugs."

Possibly works as Zinc ionophore.

Given the apparent number of cases on Washington State, I'm expecting that the border crossing to BC will be closed shortly.

The US medical system seems perversely arranged to promote the spread of covid type viruses.

The Canadian medical system, by contrast, may be better at limiting the spread but undoubtedly has less spare hospital beds available if it does spread.

Part of the problem (for Blue Apron) is that it is easy for competitors to enter the market and they have.

We use a local (to Vancouver BC) version called FreshPrep and have also tried HelloFresh. But are reasonable and about the same price (just under $20US for a two-person meal.) We like FreshPrep because it is local and we can do two meals a week instead of three. Which works for us.

So far have not had any issues (about six months). The kits are well packed, nothing missing. Reasonably easy to follow instructions.

Ah the good old days of WatFour Fortran and punch cards.

Correction, installed at existing nuclear power sites.

Manufactured in a factory and delivered for final assembly there.

Self-checkout is available at several local supermarkets.

I select based on speed.

One store has well-designed self-checkout stations. Breeze through. So I use them.

Another store has annoyingly poor ones. Use human checkouts.

Another store doesn't have them and always has lineups. Avoid that store.

You can't emulate the Secure Enclave. It has a private key that you can't derive so can't emulate (until you can delid the device and figure out the bits but then you wouldn't need the emulator to do anything other than just decrypt the filesystem for you.)

At best you can use the actual Secure Enclave and try and brute force your way to getting it to try passcodes at the fastest rate possible.

Actually the data is still there and still encrypted.

But unlocking via DFU generates a new private key within the Secure Enclave which overwrites the previous private key.

At that point, you have a lot of effectively random data that can't be decrypted, at least until we have some serious Quantum Computers to throw at the problem. :-)
