Just have to chime in and say 100% fatal once symptomatic. I really hope someone corrects me but I'm pretty sure there has never been a confirmed case with a recovery; we have a treatment that works, but has to be given relatively soon after exposure.

Edit: lol, was the downvote for me hoping I was wrong, or being wrong?

They'd just be looking at the palm rest for me. Laptop is closed and under the monitor stand, having it open just makes Window's show how well it does desktop scaling.

The rolling ones are the way to go. Saves enough time for the price, no way I could justify the cost of the fully automatic ones.

Do you mean the Cisco iPhone from the 90s or the Brazilian iphone from the early '00s? I'm totally just taking the piss though, I know you mean the Apple one from the later '00s but it wasn't that rare to have mobile internet before it, they were just riding the wave that was already breaking across society.

Apple had a major advantage though, lots of people were already eyeing their popular mp3 player, if a phone could be a phone, internet, and a good music player you can sync easily, it won for a lot of people. I couldn't justify the price and really liked physical keyboards, by the time those became rare I disliked Apple too much to try them.

Somewhere I have my old BB 8320 from 2007, it was awesome because it had WiFi so much better speed when WiFi was available.

It will all boil down to what kind of maintenance is required. A robot for $50k would pay for itself in saved wages in under a year, even less if it collected tips. A lot of smaller diners (Waffle/Huddle/Waddle/etc) typically have super low staffing requirements (line cook + 1 or 2 servers per shift, occasionally more) and could totally use robots due to the simple layout and standardization of the restaurants.

Just wanted to say thanks for some awesome software! I want to say I use it for centralizing my bookmarks across devices, but if I'm being honest it's main use has been bookmarking Microsoft Learn articles. It's insanely useful being able to save an article, add tags, then when MS changes their docs, I can prove to myself that it really was different last week.

I'm gonna be the guy seconding it. It actually makes it feel like your own device. My favorite part is how each time you go to install an app it asks you if the app should have network access before it ever installs.

Not really sure about that one, I've been able to transfer money with my banks app for more than a decade. Not all US banks are created equal.

I'd argue the poor pay a vastly higher percentage of their income on taxes, but I like to include all taxes in that figure, not just income tax.

I'm a huge fan of AdNauseam, and TrackMeNot.

While I agree in spirit, any law surrounding it would need to be very clearly worded, with certain exceptions carved out. Which I'm sure wouldn't happen.

I could easily see people thinking something was of them, when in reality it was of someone else.
