Daily Tech News 4 October 2021

Top Story

  • New research suggests that the Wuhan Bat Flu may have come from the Wuhan Bat Market and not from the Wuhan Bat Virus Factory across the road according to a paper published by the Wuhan Bat Virus Factory. (LA Times / Yahoo News)

    A second paper from France that - the article kind of slides past this - has not actually been published anywhere concurs.

    The article is 90% just the LA Times sniping at CNN, but that has a certain charm in itself.

Disclaimer: They said it was mad to build a space station in the middle of nowhere, but they did! And it sank into the swamp! (actually, it blew up) So, they took the debris and built Babylon 2 and that sank into the swamp too. SO, they started again and built Babylon 3! It blew up, caught on fire and sank into the swamp. Babylon 4, though — it held! Didn't blow up, didn't burn up and it did NOT sink into the swamp. It did, however, disappear without a trace but Babylon 5 — now there was a space station!!!

1 Good morning Pixy - thank you.

2 This is why i only buy FDA certified prime choice bats.

I'm surprised Apple hasn't decided that we don't need 16 or 14 inch MBP and they just release a 7 inch version,, and also it won't have a harddrive, or keyboard, or screen.

This is the first time in a while I'm actually up and leaving the house this early, hopefully that means I'll return to the house earlier, also I need to look for a new place in lower NYC to get some pastries/cake/sweet stuff as it seems every place has decided to be closed on Mon/Tues/Wed since the Fauci Flu started.

35 Well back in the 90s "news" organizations had a little pride in themselves, not so much recently.

37 Here is the evidence that the virus started in the wet market. And not just one wet market, SEVERAL at the same time: Virologists say so.

Here is the evidence that the virus escaped from a virology lab: Virologists say that is not possible, stop looking at the dangerous things we are doing in our labs and our lax safety.

Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at October 04, 2021 05:56 AM (mdgQ7)

38 At the end of the Yahoo news article, there is this tagline:

"This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times."

A pox on both their houses.

40 I think what's worse is Yahoo's main page editor. 90% of the time the headline they write doesn't match the story, generally spinning it to Anti-Trump/ conservative, worse is they have a story about a killer and put the victims picture, so you think it's a white guy, when it isn't.

Posted by: Rbastid at October 04, 2021 05:58 AM (q+Pg9)

41 First of all, it didn't escape the virology lab. It was set loose intentionally during the World Military Games.

Posted by: JAS, AoSHQ addict at October 04, 2021 05:58 AM (xopIz)

42 What are the odds that the LA Times columnist is friends with, or received money from Peter Daszak?

46 What if.... they released the virus AT the wet markets to make it look like the virus originated there? Released at the military games, too, but the markets gave the appearance of nature.

Here's some virulent Trump-hate on parade:

"Ever since the lab-leak claim first emerged during the Trump administration, where it was part of a White House information campaign demonizing China, one of the arguments in its favor has been that evidence for a zoonotic origin has also been spotty."

50 LOL, a postscript to the awful article:

"Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting."

51 Couldn't they run their software for the cars on an emulator and then upgrade the software that actually works with the chips that they do have available later?

Or are there not enough of those chips either? I'm reading that the chip makers are complaining about the cars running on older chips and it would be better if they ran on the new types so is it the new types we're out of and they don't want to build old type chip factories they want to build new chip factories but the automakers don't want to change chips? So why not make an emulator to run on newer chips and then they can build new chip factories and do the software later? Of is it that the software just won't run on the new chips cause reasons? Cause I would think that the software is the hinky part cause it's all been tested and trialed out and stuff and a new software would be all potentially dangerous.

52 Glad to see the airbase in Afghanistan is back in business. They say all the lights are back on and planes are arriving and taking off again. Could it be the Chinese?

53 In the last week of Sept more people died with COVID in NY than in FL; a state with more people and more seniors than NY; a state with a lower vaccinate rate than NY and no vaxx/mask mandates.

Posted by: rhennigantx at October 04, 2021 06:10 AM (yrol0)

54 As I understand it, the virus has some parts in it that just would not come from a virus from nature. No how no way.

But if that's the case then the vaxx is also tied in in a few ways as how they got the data about the virus so quickly some are thinking it means that they knew where it came from and were already working on a vaxx for that virus. What a coinkydink, huh.

Yeah they added this list last year around the start of October to protect imbecile Joe from the truth and thier articles getting called out as bs. On some articles, since like May, you can post but it seems they have a ton of words that get your comment auto rejected, or if it isn't it ends up rejected by thr moderator if it's not pure pro-biden propaganda.
