My USD$7.99/mo grandfathered Google Play Music subscription is scheduled to renew in 2 days. There's no indication on my account that it will be cancelled. If I recall correctly, I did run into an issue in the past where it was i

The original source[0] states that access to Recovery Mode is not possible, at least in some cases. One user there reports[1] that the device shows no signs of life--no power, no fans spinning, nothing: > No power at all. I tried SMC a

As someone who’s been in a similar position, there aren’t really any alternatives that don’t piss people off. reCAPTCHA is a pain to get past for a small number of visitors, typically those using public proxies (e.g. Tor), but the majority

That’s almost certainly unrelated to your Firefox settings. The rate at which you get captcha’d is mostly based on the level of suspicious activity from your IP address and nearby IP addresses—though if you mess with headers too much, that

I appreciate seeing multiple articles on the front page. It’s an important issue right now, and some of the articles can be dense. I like reading multiple presentations of the same information to see what different authors emphasize.

The parent is saying that the antibodies used come from an external source, not from the patient. If what the parent is saying is true, why would the patient need antibodies?

Agreed, but I don’t see that happening unless things get a lot worse, sadly.

I’ve been seeing a lot of social media posts from friends and family who are wearing masks incorrectly or making their own masks. That might not be a huge problem on its own, but it seems to give them an excuse to risk compensate. And that’

A single false negative is worse than a single false positive, but false positives affect far more people with equivalent percentages. They’re both problematic, but in different ways. Our medical infrastructure is already strained. If you t

Remember, there’s probably a similarly high false negative rate. Also, take into account the number of people who won’t be going home, but will instead be flooding into ERs. If you want to cause true mass hysteria and quickly overwhelm our

Yup. Two days ago I received an email from someone asking to advertise hxxp://www.masktouch[.]com/ on our site. Compare the masks on there to the masks on the site posted here--they're nearly identical. Compare the so

A 10% false positive rate for just about any test would render it mostly useless (see above).

I don't think the quote you provided says anything about false positives; at least, I really hope it doesn't. A 10% false positive rate would be ridiculous. If 0.1% of the population has SARS-CoV-2, a test has a 10% false positi

Based on my attempts to add local businesses, I'd say it can take quite a while, and some additions seem to just get "lost". Check back in a month or two--and that's assuming the addition includes sufficient photographi

That’s because the owner of archive.is blocks DNS resolutions from Cloudflare DNS. They don’t actually use Cloudflare; rather, they have a grudge against Cloudflare, so they return an IP address belonging to Cloudflare when you attempt to r

Yes, that's quite odd, especially given GameStop's notorious Circle of Life (CoL) philosophy.[1][2] That being said, GameStop employees are often gamers, and gamers are often opinionated about platforms and companies--just like a

There’s a fairly good chance that the physical cards themselves were fake. That happens a lot on Amazon. Given that cards purchased from reputable manufacturers tend to be formatted without issue, it’s reasonable to guess that the real prob

Yes, we frequently review revision history, and it’s not unusual for us to go back about a decade. Unfortunately, prior to that, source control wasn’t used, and that has made some tasks fairly difficult. A great example is data migration. I
