No, because trench foot is something not treatable by vaccines. However, we did receive a lot of training in how to avoid and treat it, along with better equipment. Does that count as a “vaccine”?

I've clicked on good paid ads and bought more times than I can count. No regrets. If they didn't work, people wouldn't run ads.

Almost all of the apps you mentioned sync data to, or access data from iCloud in the vast majority of use cases. I mention iCloud here because this submission is about iOS. That said, I'd love to have a new "Internet access"

This is why I think someone should market a cheap SIGINT tool that collects BT/BTLE/Wi-Fi data from nearby devices. I've got this setup running on a Raspberry Pi near my front door and it collects all sorts of useful data, ev

You are correct. Typically, if the pilots run into a critical emergency and have the chance, they'll try to pitch the aircraft upwards to give the navs a chance of survival after ejection, but it's pretty rare that's feasible

Cost-effective is the best description. It doesn't have to be a totality. For total operation costs (training/missions/acquisition/maintenance/capabilites), the B-52 is cheaper by orders of magnitude. The B-2 does h

I worked on B-52s and other aircraft. Their systems (bomb/nav/comm/etc) were refreshed many times and the airframes inspected and improved regularly. The reason B-52s are still around is because they are combat-effective and

You could, but if this unit is anything like it is in my CR-V, and its most likely the same, it's an ancient slow OMAP processor and 4GB of RAM (IIRC). Edit: Looks like a Tegra 3 in this one, but my bet is meager RAM.

Me neither, but I see a lot of foldables in the wild and I'm far from any tech hotspots, like the Bay Area and Austin.

Judging by the past, probably zero days. Presumably they’re also using stingray type devices to further surveil or provide additional attack vectors.

I tried to daily drive Helium on my Mac but it crashed too much (multiple times a day, as recently as a couple weeks ago). It also scores much lower on EFF's Cover Your Tracks website versus Brave. Looks interesting and I like the rela

It's just being pitched this way by marketing and the C suite. If it were really a snow leopard release, someone should have informed the engineers they were supposed to be improving resiliency and fixing bugs, because this is news to

Depends on the workload. The M3 Ultra is no slouch. It sits at the top with best processors on both single-core and multi-core x64 processors. Meanwhile my mini PC with a Ryzen 7 8845HS processor, which is nowhere near an M3 Ultra, feels mu

No, because the notification timing is not reliable. It can vary a lot depending on the load on that microservice at any given time. Also, how would you handle dits, dahs, and gaps?

Crucial has "good" prices for DDR5 6000mhz memory on Amazon. The downside is you have to wait for shipping -- I had to wait a couple weeks. I bought when these were $300 and equivalent memory prices were like $500 at the time. Bee
