would these censorship capabilities survive having the phones re-flashed with a new operating system such as Lineage? If that would clear them then why throw away an otherwise usable piece of hardware.

These super immune cases were first sick and then vaccinated. This might be reproduced by mixing the vaccines. ie both Pfizer and Moderna are mRNA vaccines but they may not create exactly the same spike protein. This might simulate being sick, exposed to one version of the spike protein and then being vaccinated exposing the immune system to a second, different spike protein. Waiting to hear about the mixing studies being done now.

That was going to be my first question that bitcoin had been defined as a "currency" not beholden to central banks and agencies to make transactions.

AS is the comment about deploying these in waterless areas such as deserts. So they'll be trucking in the water to use for the turbines and have some sort of closed loop recycler to avoid losing water.

Dang it, Microsoft, just when I thought you'd said the dumbest thing possible you keep on talking.

Was it that long ago? I must have either mixed up California with another state or, dang, time flies when you get old. Still think that nuclear is a good option for that base demand that is hard to supply when the sun don't shine or the wind don't blow.

Ah, that explains the real reluctance to go more nuclear. It's socialism.

yup. that's the real danger behind putting too many electric cars on the grid too quickly.

didn't they just shut down a nuclear power station recently? That might have helped.

Primarily for the reputed endurance of the Optane Memory over the standard NAND memory. Being able to buy a drive with TBW measured in Petabytes would be very reassuring if you got into or were into something that did lots of writes to the SSD.
