Other sources of B12 deficiency: Atrophic gastritis, in which your stomach lining has thinned. Pernicious anemia, which makes it hard for your body to absorb vitamin B12. Conditions that affect your small intestine, such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, bacterial growth, or a parasite. Alcohol misuse or heavy drinking can make it harder for your body to absorb nutrients or prevent you from eating enough calories. One sign that you lack enough B12 may be glossitis, or a swollen, inflamed tongue. Immune system disorders, such as Graves' disease or lupus. Been taking certain medications that interfere with the absorption of B12. This includes some heartburn medicines including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec OTC), pantoprazole (Protonix), and rabeprazole (Aciphex), H2 Blockers such as cimetidine (Tagamet) and famotidine (Pepcid AC); and certain diabetes medicines such as metformin (Glucophage).

It is NOT a chip shortage! There are as many chip delivered to customers as before, most likely even more. The demand has suddenly increased much more than the the installed capacity. The supply is not lower than before. Most (if not all) factories are running at maximum capacity. Yes there have have been some issues with factories in Texas that did not get power, and yes there was a factory that had a fire, making things worse. Even without these issues the demand is still much higher than the installed capacity. It is a chip demand issue!

Nothing wrong with this sentence. The build-in storage of 64GB is made of FLASH MEMORY.

I am driving a Chevy Bolt / Opel Amera-e, and with that car, to drive 440km I have a total charging time of 1h30 to 1h45 (in winter) and also I need to limit my speed to below the allowed max speed. I would love to have faster charging on that car. My colleague in is diesel takes only 5 hours and my it was more than 7. That is 2 hours per trip less that I can spend with my family. 4 hours in total for the round trip.

Except that in winter your range is not 400km, as batteries are less efficient at low temperatures and a part of the energy out of the batteries is needed for heating of the cabin your range decreases a lot. So on a longer winter trips you might need to charge even twice. And if you can charge 2x 20 minutes instead of 2x 40 minutes, that makes a difference.

Yes, Amps (current) do kill more than Volts, however if the voltage is low, there will be never be a high current through your body. For example if you have a battery system that is capable to deliver 10000 Amp, but only at a voltage of 1.5V, it will never kill you! As the resistance (actually impedance) of your body is too high there will not be a high current going through your body. If you would connect both the poles of the battery with a piece of copper, the copper will get really hot, or even melt, as resistance of a copper is very low.

On CBS or Pirate Bay? I just watched it on Netflix last night!

Don't believe all this marketing crap. This is definitely not the first nationwide long range network IOT network. The French did beat the Dutch on this with their SigFox network (in early 2015. source). Sigfox is even rolled out nation wide in the Netherlands already. As is in Spain, Portugal and Ireland. And many countries will follow, like the USA, Brazil and Germany. Good thing is that Sigfox does not know about roaming, Sigfox will work no matter where you are as long you have coverage and your device is operating in the same frequency band. As Europe it operates in the 868 MHz and USA in the 902 MHz ISM band.

I did uninstall Flash a few months ago. The only issue I have is that I cannot watch the slashdots videos. Oh well, won;t miss much there I guess ;-)

Probably Guido van Rossum himself came to the USA on a H1-B visa, before he got his green card.

If the docking station has many USB ports, like 4 or more the laptop it self only needs 1 USB port. When I am traveling I only need a USB port for the occasional USB memory stick. On my desk I need at least 3: keyboard, mouse and measurement equipment.

So what is the Volt? It is an electrical vehicle (EV) (mode 1 and 2) and when the battery is depleted it turns into a hybrid card. In hybrid mode it can be either Serial and Parallel Hybrid car depending on the mode.

Further the explanation of mode 4 is not correct, The gas engine engages over the planetary gear such that it reduces the speed of the primary motor (MGB) AND drivers the second electric motor (MGA) to generate electricity which is used for powering MGB and or refilling the buffer in the battery pack.In both mode 3 and mode 4 the battery pack is used as a buffer. For peak demands energy from the battery is 'borrowed' which is later refilled when demand is below average. On average all the power comes from the gas engine.The total charge of the battery stays the same, unless you drive a very extreme road where the average power goes above the power the gas engine can deliver. Think about a very long mountain climb at high speeds.

CFLs : ..., not very dimmable, ...
LEDs : ..., dimmable, ...

I understand why you say this, however I must disappoint you, it is not correct. It is also very easy to dimm a CFL. For a retrofit LED lamp (thus in the shape of a incandescent bulb), you have to add as much electronics to dim the LEDs as you would need to dim a CFL lamp.

Technically, dimming a CFL is as easy as increasing the frequency of the oscillator that drivers the CFL tube. The only issue is the TRIAC dimmer in the wall that does not like the low power of the CFL lamp (or LED lamp). Translating the dimmer position to the oscillator frequency is easy.

The same is also true for LEDs. That is why many retrofit LED lamps are also not dimmable (there are dimmable retrofit LED as well!).

As soon as we get rid of the old fashion 2 wire TRIAC or transistor dimmers, we can dim CFL and LED easily, and safe even more energy in the end because we do not have to dissipate extra energy only to keep the dimmer happy.
