There are similar overloads of unemployment-benefit websites in the U. S. And probably in other nations.

So the good news is that the U.S. death rate from COVID-19 infections will presumably go down, since we will have a more accurate count of those infected, as the "denominator" of that rate. Unfortunately, from family-ar experience, just having the tests available is only the first step; being...

Coronavirus comes for spring break: Don't those kids watch/read the news, or are they all just stupid? Colleges are closed; don't they consider what "souvenirs" they might be bringing home to their families (older parents, or grandparents), or the reason colleges (and so much else) are closed?

Wouldn't it be great if the major Cloud Computing providers (Like AIM: Amazon/AWS, IBM, Microsoft) would donate a tiny fraction of their massive cloudy data-processing power to COVID-19 research projects?

From https://www.anandtech.com/show/15633/covid-19-toms-hardware-2020-folding-at-home-race: Folding@Home, a long-standing distributed computing project, recent added COVID-19-related research tasks to its list of projects.

In the words of an ex-president, "I feel your pain." How distressing to have it run OK for many hours before flaking out. I assume that you (and snow and handy) are using quality components, and you already checked the RAM "with a variety of memory tests", and presumably "reseated"...

From Ars T.: Firm wielding Theranos patents asks judge to block coronavirus test [Updated] Legal expert calls it "the most tone-deaf IP suit in history."

Chinese billionaire Jack Ma says he will donate one million face masks and 500,000 coronavirus testing kits to the US

Ah, I wondered how long it would take to blame the COVID-19 problem on that non-citizen/commie/nigger Obama.

Let's see, who's in charge of the "FDA regulations" and the CDC? And who's been busy twittering shots at all of the candidates in the democratic-party presidential campaign?

From Ars Technica: Singapore was ready for COVID-19—other countries, take note To me, a key factor in the Singapore vs U. S. response is summarized in their statement "These countries all have social structures and traditions that might make this kind of surveillance and control a little...

That Tom Hanks/Rita Wilson issue may be among the best recent news about COVID-19. If they recover completely, people will realize that it's not an "always-deadly plague", a belief which has caused world-wide panic.

March madness indeed: 2020 NCAA Tournament (basketball) games to be played without fans in attendance

We're all very happy that you were able to satisfy your TP/PT sanitation requisites! :) Are you thinking the "panic" is due to COVID-19?

From Ars Technica: Facebook is canceling its massive F8 developers' conference over fears of COVID-19. The conference had been scheduled to begin on May 5 in San Jose, California.

9⁴ or 8⁴?

So according to the manual Yes, that's the complete list. Wonder if it would work under Wine, for *X enthusiasts?

Seconded!

Aw, jeez. About how old is the unit? Can you at least set up a fan to get warm air from downstairs?

Critical Windows 10 vulnerability used to Rickroll the NSA and Github Attack demoed less than 24 hours after disclosure of bug-breaking certificate validation.

Then I hope you were able to shut off the water at the main valve in time to minimize the damage. A few years ago, we got to have a kitchen remodeling because a pipe froze. (The builder forgot to insulate one little corner of the house. :mad:)

I hope there wasn't a leak. ☔ 🌊

At least you got the good news that your mother's surgery went well, and I'm sure the whole forum joins me in wishing her and your family the best.

At my old job, we got YubiKeys, but they set it up so we could alternatively use the PingID app on our phone, which was more convenient to me.

I wonder whether some of these issues relate to "binning". I remember reading about the old "pencil trick" for AMD CPUs.

I'm hereby Giving Thanks for your "behind the scenes" work, Handy! ❤

Some motherboards can flash their BIOS without an installed CPU.

TMI :poop:

Well, that would increase the pressure on AMD to correct the problem. Apparently, AMD has provided a fix to motherboard manufacturers, for them to include in their BIOS updates. IIRC, this would correct the microcode on the Ryzen CPU itself, to make RDRAND produce varying "random" numbers...

I'm not sure what you mean, but there can't be too much of a risk if you can't boot your Ryzen 3000 PC :). (Apparently, this bug has been around for months [and somewhere I read that it's been years, but I'm not sure of that].) Aside from that issue with Destiny, it seems that Linux uses RDRAND...

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/10/how-a-months-old-amd-microcode-bug-destroyed-my-weekend I'd been "window shopping" for x570 mobos, and maybe that article explains why I saw a significant number of x570 purchasers that had problems getting their builds to boot, or had other inexplicable...

Thanks, Chewy, maybe I'll take another look at T-bird. At work, we were "upgraded" from Office/Outlook to Gsuite/Gmail. (G-not-so-Suite ;)) It has pop-up reminders, but they only show in the lower right corner of a Gmail web session. It's sooo nice to have reminders pop up in a new window...

As Will mentioned, LibreOffice.

I'm not sure I understand this comment.

Happy Labor Day (in the USA)! Raise a glass (or two) for all the laborers.

As it happens, my Dell s2415H has speakers, and when I checked, it also has an output jack that works with my JVC Gumy. I believe plugging in those earbuds cuts off the monitor's speakers, but I can't be positive because the audio output from this PC goes through a subwoofer that was still...

Let us know how the cameras are working. ;)

As it happens, a few weeks ago, we had a very nice visit to Haley's Honey Meadery.

so is the rest of your sentence.

I had thought that mead was fermented honey, not honey added to booze: Wikipedia.

Bubbly ? Cool!

OK, "just off cuff", Dioria and Nausia. :)

Can't see the forest for the rocks. ;). (BTW, The Petrified Forest also happens to be a nice, classic pic.)

So the newest one (I've seen) is at least confining him-/her-self to the Folding Folder. :(
