I just use the Tree Style Tabs extension for Firefox. I need multiple tabs for the work and the horizontal layout just doesn't allow for a quick access, also, when they get too small, they don't display enough of the title. I do have a 23" 1440p monitor, so there is screen real estate allowing for this. I wouldn't do this on a 14" laptop display.

Sweden had no lockdowns, but had the same problem with RSV. It's not immunity debt, it is immune system damaged by COVID-19. There's a lot of research on this (just search for T-cell exhaustion after COVID-19). Who knew, getting sick isn't making people healthier.

Exactly. Also, immunologists say the whole immunity debt is a myth. Sweden had no lockdowns, yet they have now had two consecutive years of lots of respiratory diseases (in addition to C19, which is not a respiratory illness). There have been also lots of other outbreaks of diseases that didn't use to spread. Measles going rampant in russia, monkeypox in many countries, polio in the UK, ... The pattern is pretty clear, you first get a bad year of COVID and then you get a bad year of other diseases. The other diseases don't seem to get wild right away after lifting mitigations, which you would expect if it was a matter of immunity debt.

I would say russia is a third world country outside of the major cities. They still have no water toilets in the rural areas. The income is very low outside of the bigger cities. But still, Moscow and St Petersburg are the display cities, putin (and thus his regime) doesn't care about other cities. The only reason he pretends to care is the potential for riots etc.

I agree. Russia has pretty much imploded itself already. It is a trainwreck in slow motion, but it is still using all it can to maximize destruction to other countries) mainly Ukraine, but also Georgia, Belarus, and then others, especially with hybrid warfare). While China is growing stronger, though there is a wobble in their economy now. The problem also is that russia mostly provides commodities, while China produces much more advanced things that cannot be replaced overnight. And of course, we must deal with russia in a decisive manner, much more so than we are doing now. In other case, what is the lesson that russia and China will get? Use raw power and you get something that doesn't belong to you. Of course, China is also learning all it can from the weakness of any country, to better exploit that when they want to start their operations in full scale, whatever that will be.

Exactly. The only app by Samsung that makes sense is the notes app on pen devices. The phone app is decent, but I have not tried the one by Google. Even SMS delivery receipts are not handled by the Samsung messaging app, not that those are much of use these days anyway. Samsung makes good phones, but terrible apps.

Three things are necessary - we need to solve the problem of clean energy by tackling several issues instead of just one. 1. More renewables (it is possible to scale up quickly, but in the US the bureaucracy has got in the way). 2. Grid scale energy storage and smart grids to level the peaks. 3. Energy saving. This is not often talked about. Think better insulation, heat pumps, higher efficiency appliances, energy saving industrial processes, utilizing waste heat. - Of course, each of these can again be split to multiple things, but basically, it's not just about having more wind and solar.

Well, this could still be a part of the solution. Perfect is the worst enemy of good.

Yeah this is the most typical error people do with units. 192 MWh is not much, so I think they should either have dropped the "annually" word, or another alternative is that it would be the predicted average power. But 192 MW by 340k panels would be 560 watts per panel, so I think that must be the peak power output.

No, it doesn't work like that. It's a new round of russian roulette every time. You might get long COVID from 5th infection even if you had nothing. You may die from the 4th infection. Diseases and immunity doesn't work so that the infections get milder every time. Does your diarrhea get milder every time you get noron? Why do you think the flu (only about 1/10 of the lethality if Covid by the way) kills most often the elderly - those who have had it several times already?

I never had issues with battery life. And living in a land of no data caps on most subscriptions, I actually hated the fact that early versions refused to download e.g. some updates over mobile data.

I mostly liked the user interface, too, and the virtual keyboard was the best I've used. But for me, there was one huge issue: lack of apps. Even things like Whatsapp came really late to the platform and lacked features. I think it is because the SDK was completely different from other phones, and the optios to share code between Windows and Android phones were limited. The way multitasking was implemented also made writing apps quite difficult. And the SDK was very limited, most anything beyond basic components you had to write yourself or use 3rd party ones. Including even some widgets you could find on the apps shipped as a part of the OS.

There was a lot of potential, but Microsoft was too arrogant in making their own walled garden (even at first charging obscene amounts of money for the SDK!) and focused on rewrite after rewrite instead of focusing on making things better.

Exactly, and not only did they not increase the prices, they used the crackdown as a reason to increase the prices. "If people are sharing passwords, we will increase the prices" but also "If people are not sharing passwords, we will increase the prices".

I guess terabyte is too close to SI units and cannot be used. I find it a bit funny that in a country that refuses to convert to everyday SI unit usage, often arguing that the imperial system units are so much easier to relate to (to those who have used it their entire lifetime) people so often resorts to these makeshift units. I don't know if it is just an editor thing, though.

COVID-19 is a multi-organ disease that affects the brain as well (this has even been shown in MRI and histological studies). Many people suffer from brain fog, concentration difficulties and fatigue for a long period after the infection and there's no guarantee of a full recovery. Even though the brain of young people are more resilient, I'm pretty sure this plays at least some role in the drop of the results.

Russia was already restricting gas flow, this was a convenient way to shift some of the blame. The gas companies knew that the inflow was already going to stop due to sanctions so it would have been a very risky move for them. And for any other party in Europe either. Russia didn't really have anything to lose. But the fact that we on the West are still making arguments against each others is exactly what russia wants.
