Comment Re:Predictable outcomes. (Score 1) 63

DOGE doesn't but the little Maggots in it have been seeded out to the agencies to spread their diseases further. I hope the next actual Administration goes through and weeds out the Maggots with which la Presidenta has infested the Fed. Gov. And sells off the tasteless gold-plated gewgaws with which el Bunko has festooned the White House, give the proceeds to the poor. And while it is cleaning house, it can tear down the dumpy flag poles he's installed and tear down the new "ballroom" and the new gaudy arch he's planning. They can dump it on Mar-a-Lago, "Here's your crap back, Miss Piggy!"

Comment CO2 as an indicator of air quality. (Score 1) 23

Indeed. My thought was that CO2 levels could roughly correspond to the number of people in the specific room, offset by actual ventilation levels.

IE more CO2 = more risk because it means more people with inadequate ventilation.

Conference crud is really simple. Hacker or not. You bring in hundreds/thousands of people from around the country and world, exposing most of them to even more potential disease carriers on airplanes, trains, busses, and more, then disrupt people's sleep and disgestive tracts with unfamiliar locations, schedules and food and you have the perfect melting pot to get people sick.

What can be done to help prevent it? Mask wearing might help some, along with sanitary other stuff - improve the ventilation in such buildings, including good filters, UV lights and such helping to sterilize the air. At the same time, improve air quality otherwise, because harsh cleaning chemicals can also make people sick.

Comment This seems ridiculous on the face of it (Score 1) 99

TFS appears to be attempting to conflate the phone-buying habits of individual consumers with business hardware replacement cycles and productivity. It appears to be complete garbage.

I am left to assume this was shadow written by someone in the marketing department from some large tech company - e.g. Dell, Samsung, Apple, Google, Microsoft.

As an aside - it seems pretty wasteful (and pointless) to replace your smartphone even after 29 months, let alone every 22 months.
