- This is looking great, hope the camera can at least produce decent photos. So many other phones with a QEWRTY keyboard just have awful cameras.
The Razr 2024/25 + the clicks keyboard is probably the "best" so far. Although I just got a Zinwa Q25. Amazing how good that formfactor feels after having candy bars this long.
- The lock-down has never been about saving lives. It's about preventing the chaos that would occur if we did nothing and let the health care system crash.
People in charge get this, sure saving lives is nice, but it's about maintaining the order of things.
You really think if this went out of control people would not pull a gun in a hospital to get their relative help? Or groups of people would not be targeted, even more than they are now, as scapegoats?
Even now it's acknowledged that many more are going to get it, many more will die, but at least things will not spiral out of control and we will be able to manage the hospitalization rates.
- Not the parent, but I've looked into this and here's my take.
1. Yes RDP 2. The cost can vary obviously, but let's take a lower-end 4vcore 16GB Windows VM (B4MS) - $29.12 (160 hours per month of usage) 3. 512GB of SSD storage - $38.40 a month
It's not a bad setup if you need flexibility to scale up your VM.
- Most likely due to the same troll farms that paint the narrative that SpaceX wastes tax payer money.
Now who would not want a new private American company to succeed in revitalizing the industry and increasing competition. Hmm, I can think of a few.
It used to be "NASA is a bloated waste of tax payer money let private Enterprise in."
And now the same people who said that, have been convinced that private industry is stealing.
- Along this topic, if we are spending so much on these infants why is our rate higher than other first world countries?
Finland which is number one, "used the least resources and attained average results, making Finland the most efficient public sector health service producer according to the study's authors"

Granted it's way better than many other countries, but still we shouldn't be so off.

- Ugh you're right. It seems they romanticized it in their own heads as well. And in the end they're just humans.
The dad wrote a post about it all : http://janifoundation.org/blog/
Wish them all the best either way, it cannot be an easy journey.
- I find it amazing at the untold strength in parents like these. Just ordinary folks who somehow find a way to keep on trying and pushing and doing their best when faced with unimaginable challenges.
They fall and get up and keep going.
Makes so many other problems many of us have to face really seem more like "problems".
- I've been in and out of this hobby over the last 20+ years.
The latest generation of technology that started ~5 years ago is simply amazing when compared to what we used to have.
Think home automation scaled down to a fish tank.
Remote monitoring and control, email/text alerts based on parameters, evaporation auto-top-offs, and LED lighting at a fraction of the cost of old metal halide or VHO fluorescent.
Plus the level of scientific knowledge and accurate affordable test kits now available to hobbyists really makes a huge difference.
- Almost unrelated but the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a good follow-up for inspiration.

- Like Android had Google users, Steam has a user base already.
I think that will help get people onboard as well. Everything is already right there for you, your friend list, your games, your awards, your wallet.
Getting a box running SteamOS is just another piece of the puzzle for Steam users invested in the ecosystem.
- Yup, tweaks to what they're calling the "Power user menu" Start+x and Display Scaling and of course now you can boot right to the desktop.
- While HTML might have caused struggles for them with large amounts of users I wanted to just offer up that we have found it to be quite useful in a small/medium business for enterprise apps on smaller subsets of devices. So we do not have to worry about supporting every device and OS flavor under the sun.
We are a small dev team and being able to use a web stack prevents us from being spread too thin across too many different technologies.
Is it as "smooth" as native? No, but it gets the information and functionality, the most important parts, to the people who need it and allows us to quickly turn around projects.
And not being native allows us to customize UI to fit each group's particular needs more easily. At least it seems that way.
- Yeah connectivity is going to continue to only slowly get better. The cost of upgrading the infrastructure is just so high and older venues don't always have the room for upgrading DAS systems.
It'll be another 3 years before things are really ironed out in the newer buildings. Not sure how older ones will manage to deal with the situation.
It does seem like a great deal either way though!
