Believe what you want… if you aren’t bleaching your plastic cutting boards, you’re breeding bacteria. Wood has anti microbial properties that leeps this under control. See the link upstream for one of the best studies on the topic.

I tossed mine and got a new one.

Plastic needs to be bleached for 30 minutes to remove contamination. A dishwasher won’t be enough.

Dishwashers aren’t some magical tool. They just wash so you don’t have to.

Well, that and… I put wood boards through the dishwasher all the time. Not end grain blocks, but regular low profile boards.

Kurds are Turkish people. If you don’t want them to be, let them separate.

RCS is even less secure than SMS though — it’s unencrypted and by design, Google, Apple and the carriers all have to be able to inspect the content. And the way it’s designed makes it really difficult to have an open E2E encryption standard. So as a result, Google<->Google is encrypted, Apple<->Apple is encrypted, but combine even one device not of the same type in a group chat and it has to be unencrypted.

GPS would fail as soon as the first tz ticked over. Internet routing would fail instantly too.

Conversely, the company I’m working for has been around for 45 years, isn’t unionized, promotes from inside, and provides reasonable wages and great benefits.

They know that if they mess that up, we’ll all leave and go work somewhere else.

Of course, the company isn’t American, which likely makes a difference.

Research has also shown a link between dental bacteria and heart disease. Not sure if it’s causation or correlation, but keeping your dental microbiome healthy seems to have benefits throughout the body.

I’ve had gum grafts, and they’ve had no difficulty healing and growing back. I’ve also had extra teeth removed and the gums have had no difficulty filling in the gaps. So if all else fails, pull the old tooth, plant the new seed tooth, let the gum heal and then rupture as the new tooth grows out. Should have a nice healthy gum edge again. Although teething as an adult sounds… uncomfortable.

I’d upvote you multiple times if I could.

And in some cases, they are actually required to share information with the government/police.

I have experience from the “proper handling of PII” side of things, and can tell you that while everyone covered by HIPAA has likely taken the mandatory PII training, most, if asked, wouldn’t be able to identify what is and isn’t protected from a list of examples.

So no matter what the rules say, medical and therapy data leak like a sieve, and modern expert systems, if provided with the information, could probably identify the patients 90% of the time.

What medical practitioners and therapists are really protected by is insurance.

That’s because they’re known words to exclude from the filter. Nobody’s flagged up sharpedo to their CSAM filter team yet.

Maybe “sharPedo” (erroneously) triggers some CSAM rule for Bing? Shorthand for sharing pedophilia?

Heh… like him, I have an M1 Pro and an iPhone 13.

Unlike him, I maxed both out at the time so they’d last me 7 years. Also, unlike him, I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem for 41 years, been in the Linux ecosystem for 29 years, been in the BSD ecosystem for 32 years, and been in the Windows ecosystem for 27 years.

So far, so good… they still do everything I want them to.

For anything else, I have my Linux server I can remote into. Both devices are still beefy enough to run VMs as needed for most tasks that won’t run on bare metal.

My takeaways? Apple still has the most reliable out of the box experience for hardware. I’ve run macOS, Windows, Linux and BSD as my base OS, and get along fine with all of them these days. But I always have containers and VMs running other OSes so I can use the best tool for the job (or at least the best tool for me).

I generally want a computer I can pick up and use to get a task done these days, without having to spend a few hours on the update and configure cycle first. My hardware on hand can’t handle it? That’s what networked compute is for — I can even set up a container locally and deploy it to beefier inline infrastructure if I need to.

Maybe if I were a PC gamer who always wanted to play the latest games, this setup wouldn’t work — but for my actual needs, it works.

Seems like this could also help us understand/reverse allergies.

It is fixed as of writing, but some EOL versions (3.6, 4.0, 4.2) will not get it.

You probably are already up to date.

I know my MongoDB updated around the 17th.

I have a script I wrote that uses imagemagick on the back end.

Is there a slide deck or transcript of this? I don’t watch videos this way.

Alternative: install Proxmox on the hardware. Then install all the OSes you want to run on top of that.

Looking back, I think it was a freak accident that the ARCTG crowd ended up calling the shots originally. Computer design was considered janitorial/secretarial style work by powerful people in the beginning, and it wasn’t until the late 90s that the “get rich quick by taking advantage of others” crowd realized there was a lot of money to be made.
