Question: Does UV lights neutralize airborne COVID-19?

I'm not sure this product is aimed at the usual consumer nor at notebooks, but in the server and workstation arena, it would be useful.

Backing up a notebook is already a nightmare, imagine having to do 8TB's, eurgh.

Remember when we figured out you could use a paper punch to make a notch on the other side there by letting you use the other side of the 5.25" disc? People using Apple 2+'s were over the moon.

Mr. Musk forgot to mention it is 1 million elected (or otherwise in office) politicians who are going to be sent to Mars. Now normally, they'd be sent to the Moon base but people have figured out there is none, so Mars it is!

Finding where to disable Firefox from sending that data is not hidden like in Chrome though.

A laptop that supports up to 64GB of memory and duo NVMe's is a pretty big deal, except for the cpu & video choices.. :P I'd rather use Ryzen 3 & Radeon.

Asking flyers to provide them with their weight while they are buying the plane ticket.. Yeah I can see that not working very well.. What will the airline do, retroactively adjust your ticket cost because you lied about your weight?

Way back in 1994 when IBM invited my then company to participate in their version of the world wide web, during our training I had made the suggestion of separate nets for specific things. Every forward thinker could see that the "web" would be HUGE and go every where (contrary to what Bill Gates put in his book). Prior to the web though, we had Archie & Gopher plus lots of other ways to interact with connected domains. So my idea, like "SafeNet," was to make it easier for people to get to what they wanted, though was thinking of the 'adult entertainment' sites that would come. In those days, we ran a pretty large BBS that has user separation coding, so adults & those under 18 could use the same system but never interact with each other and more importantly, we checked id's during account setup. If the domain services had created a separate adult net, commercial net, education net, medical net, financial net, etc I think we would have been better off than the mess we currently have.

A couple days ago, was speaking to a rural ranch client about their broadband speeds when they had an issue with a software install - 17 drops in 4 hours because SpeedTest showed the download speed was 300Kbps. So the client called the DSL provider, CenturyLink, who said "their location would never get an upgrade in speed, ever, so live with it." Broadband, in my mind, is not 300kbs and then to be charged a premium for essentially dual dial-up modem speed, yeah that is b.s... Due to the location of that client, there are no alternatives to DSL unless it is carrier pigeons (we have Eagles & other birds of prey) or smoke-signals.

Amazingly enough, the county I live & work in does have fiber optic yet no one has yet to connect all of the areas with it and the ISP's here use that common excuse (not enough people to justify the expense.) Maybe it is time we get the cattle involved, say watching Netflix, as they clearly outnumber the humans and I suspect already vote :)

By the way, that "tractors" comment was very interesting as I believe that is a nod to the autonomous tractors being developed and yes they require some type of wireless network on the farm/ranch plus internet for remote operations. My company has been upgrading farms/ranches to give that capability to their owners for the past 5 years, though the cost of the tractor is still too high, at some point it will be affordable and those clients are ready to go.

Level 3 is now owned by CenturyLink.. A letter arrived yesterday announcing it. I can hear the groans now.

An MFM or RLL ?

In July 2016, where I live had a 5.5 hour power outage, which turned us in to a ghost town. Naturally, you'd take cash to the store to buy things except no stores, fuel pumps, restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, internet services, had power. It is very easy to actually know who did have emergency generators: phone company, 911, hospital, & mill. Almost everyone here has electric appliances for their business, including restaurants and those that don't, most people pay with plastic or use an electronic register... IMHO, my town needs to have a serious discussion about this lack of services when the power goes out as this is not the first time this has happened nor will it be the last time.

Back in the years of the BBS, system owners/operators had to display a message to their users when they logged in about the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986 and specifically say if they could in fact guarantee the user's privacy for email, chat logs, etc. I am not able to find the exact text that was displayed, sorry.

W10 breaks Irfanview if you try to set it as the default, very annoying for my clients.

I prefer Gimp.
