Top Story
- Why South Africa is running out of Marmite. (The Economist)
Commies.
Marmite is made from the crap that you have to scrape off the bottom of a beer vat before you can brew a new batch. That's why it exists - brewers were stuck scraping this stuff out of their vats so they tried adding salt and selling it.
South Africa had the bright idea of banning beer production during the pandemic because, I don't know, happy drunk people don't obey social distancing rules very well. And now, even though those restrictions are over - social distancing and brewing bans alike - there's still no Marmite because when you fuck with the supply chain like that the effects ripple on for years.
Tech News
- There may be an exploit in the Windows version of popular compression app 7-zip. (Tom's Hardware)
Or there may not. One researcher suggests that the exploit only works if certain registry changes are made first, e.g. if your computer has already been hacked.
- AMD's next-gen APUs - not the ones that just launched, but the ones coming next year - could push regular laptops well into console graphics territory. (WCCFTech)
The table provided puts the current Ryzen 6000 APU close to the performance of the Xbox Series S; the new model will be nearly twice as fast.
It will still fall behind a full PS5 or Xbox Series X, but since you still can't buy those, that might not be a problem.
- GitHub bad. (JSQ)
I mentioned earlier that GitHub was suspending the accounts of Russian users associated with sanctioned companies.
It turns out that when GitHub suspends a user, they delete all of that user's history, including work they've done in projects they don't own.
The code itself remains intact, but all the information about who made particular changes and why is simply gone.
- Speaking of simply gone smart home company Insteon is. (Ars technica)
Congratulations on your very expensive brick.
Oh, and the company's C-suite executives have been busily scrubbing all mention of Insteon from their online profiles, so don't expect any help from that end.

My guess is: Your cursor isn't really over the "continue reading" link when you're clicking. The page might not be fully loaded when you're clicking. When you hover your cursor over the red "continue reading" link, be sure the "continue reading" link gets underlined; then click.

And the morning and the evening were the Thursday. Hello, all! I was going to get up to exercise today, but I guess I needed to catch up on sleep more. And today will be a long one; I'm ging to my writing group meeting tonight. Then one more day, and . . .
. . . horror has a new name. Miss Linda wants to go to the Earth Day clothing sale at the Buffalo Exchange in the city on Saturday morning. That's the last thing I feel like doing even on a good day, and this Saturday will be (a) haircut day, (b) hot and humid, (c) there's no place to park. And did I mention hot and humid? I can drop her off, go to one of the libraries, and come back in an hour, but I still hate the idea.

I grew up with it and cannot imagine not having the stuff around. It is very salty so must be spread very, very thinly and this is the mistake most people make. It is not PNB! If you are trying it, use a plain cracker or a slice of bread, fresh or toasted. Put some butter or marge on it and then spread in just a tiny bit of Marmite. As with most foods being tried for the first time, do this when hungry. If making many sandwiches it is usual to mix the butter/marge and Marmite in a bowl in bulk and then spread the mixture.

It's been so long since I've played a video game...or rather an up to date one, as I sometimes play on a private FF11 server, that I assumed laptops were kind of on par with consoles. I mean back when i did play consoles were good, but computers were still far better it seemed, as Xboxes and PS3s should lag and overheat. I played the Elder Scrolls online demo on my 2011 Macbook and that worked better than Skyrim on my PS3. I guess I don't know the joy of playing the same 3 hack and slash, or FPS game with a million different skins and titles at 600 Frames per second.
Speaking of slow, I just downloaded GIMP since i don't feel like paying monthly (or ever) for Photoshop, and I'm not sure i want to risk a piratebay version on my newer Mac, and boy it's laggy compared to PS, but pretty similar, which is great for free.

Have you tried the lutefisk here? Best in town, by all accounts!

Actually I have had this same issue, and I'm on a cellphone. I'll click "continue reading" or "comment" and get a new window popping up. I close it before it loads because i thought it was an ad that was bling overlapping the link, but thinking about it it did have the Ace address in the address bar.
So there is some issue going on.

And now, even though those restrictions are over - social distancing and brewing bans alike - there's still no Marmite because when you fuck with the supply chain like that the effects ripple on for years.

Hopefully Elon gives us a hint before buying either of those, so we can get in before thre price jumps.
I am glad i got out of Netflix 2 years ago. I didn't sell at the high, but got a nice return, and if not i probably would be sitting around now, holding it, wishing i sold.

>GitHub bad
This is what happens when open source zealots are allowed to run an actual company. It's not an accident that Microsoft's quality nose-dive in Azure has coincided with their attempts to cater to the open source community by hiring a ton of them.
What concerns me is that they've largely abandoned Azure DevOps in favour of GitHub Enterprise, but if they're going to pull this kind of poorly-thought-out ideological crap I'm going to be taking a second look at migrating.

rather an up to date one, as I sometimes play on a private FF11 server, that I assumed laptops were kind of on par with consoles. I mean back when i did play consoles were good, but computers were still far better it seemed, as Xboxes and PS3s should lag and overheat. I played the Elder Scrolls online demo on my 2011 Macbook and that worked better than Skyrim on my PS3. I guess I don't know the joy of playing the same 3 hack and slash, or FPS game with a million different skins and titles at 600 Frames per second.
Laptops can be on par with consoles. Or maybe even exceed them. If you pony up the cash for a gaming laptop. Pixy I think is talking about basic laptops reaching that level. You know like an off the shelf HP from Walmart rather than a top of the line ASUS ROG laptop.

For all the Anime nerds of the tech thread. Was just reading Netflix is making a Live Action Sword Art Online, and the only info is "their committed to caring asians in the lead roles" so you know this will be another Cowboy Bebop style shitfest, where they just pander to crybabies and make an awful show, since checking diversity boxes is more important than writing a good show.
Also Cartoon Network is making another 2 shitty versions of FLCL, called Grunge and Shoegaze. The art style looks awful, and it's the same team that made the last 2 shit installments (i.e. no once from the original) so it will just be rehashed jokes made unfunny, no storyline, and idea that all people want is wackiness and pedophilia.

Our son ordered a jar of marmite and vegamite from Amazon. I think he said both were mentioned in songs, or by musicians and no, I don't think the vegamite reference came from " Land down under." Some Beatle made a reference to eating Marmite. Anyway, he had sandwiches using both and the stuff smelled disgusting. Both bottles are now in the fridge.

It makes sense. With this new mutant injection the body is probably reacting to it like it does steroids. When you take steroids your body decides it doesn't need to make testosterone, and after a period of use your body completely stops making it, leaving you needing a synthetic replacement for life.
This new injection is making your body go "nope, don't gotta produce antibodies" and then the protection from the injection wears off in a few months, so now your body can't produce its own antibodies to the flu, and why people need boosters every 2 months now (and why people who never got the flu, or had covid symptoms, addre suddenly getting the flu and covid even though this strain is weaker). Hopefully after a period off this prophylactic everyone's body will be able to return to its normal natural function of protecting itself.

I think you must be reading the wrong article. The link to the actual bill is on the page and it is a very small bill which basically says that if you are at least 16 years old and a resident of Rhode Island, are employed in Rhode Island or receive taxable income from Rhode Island you must be vaccinated or pay double income tax.

Fowler was a junior grade lieutenant assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit One, a San Diego-based outfit tasked with clearing explosive hazards, according to the release.

Was reading an article yesterday about how little damage covid did in Africa. The author mentioned the prevalence of ivermectin, but there's a theory I have, which is that Africa has some of the highest concentrations of zinc in its soil.
Do our 'corporate farms' in this country replenish zinc?

Good morning, Pixy and the Morons (which I saw open for The Day-Glo Leotards at the Flaming Cheese Bar & Grille).
I was up past my bedtime yesterday because a utility company cut a cable (again) by accident. It wasn't repaired until long after work.
Why does anyone bother getting "smart" home anything? Obsolescence is built into everything. Just install a garage door opener, a programmable thermostat, motion-detecting lights, some of those plugs that can be turned off/on with a remote, and assign the remote two storing places. Tada! Your home is as smart as your neighbor.

Well that was how the media and doctors could lie about Hydroclohohorotobd (better than trying to spell it) They scream HydroC doesn't work, because of one study that was made to fail, as they just administered HydroC to patients who were already hours from death. The media, politicans and scum doctors on pharma payroles used this study to justify being against it when in reality they were because EvilTrump, or they were financially invested in it not working.
HydroC just acts as a receptor booster, the thing killing the virus was Zinc, HydroC allowed it to work much more efficiently. But they kept leaving that part out, because then everyone could just take that regimen if they got sick.
Just recently they even had a show on NHK World that talked about how doctors in Japan studied the HydroC+Zinc combo and how well it worked on elderly patients.

Yup. Just about anything that assists zinc entering the cell is good. Resveratrol and plain old red wine are two over-the-counter readily available substitutes for Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine.

I have a bunch of questions:
Why Remdesivir? It was made for life or death virus like Hep C.
78% of COVID deaths had comorbidity of obese. Do obese people make more virus, are they more prone to inflammation, are the Vit D or zinc deficient?
Why did 95% of the doctor not throw the kitchen sink? A Zpak, a steroid pack, and Vit A and E injection? Or maybe even add a Gamma globulin.

Been an Insteon user since the beginning. It was (is) a good system, but the company was circling the drain for awhile. So not a surprise they're gone, though the way they pulled the plug on their cloud powered Hubs without warning was surprising. And they were email spamming me up to the end about clearance sales on devices; fortunately almost everything was out of stock (hint hint).
But, my devices still function. The thing I liked about Insteon was its locally controllability and reliability. They later introduced their Hub which made it easier for casual home automation. Open-source Home Assistant as well as other applications provide life to the system which I control on local resources. So at least there's time to investigate suitable replacements.

So, a major tech provider just Up-And-Outs, removing their service entirely AND making all the devices that used said service nigh-worthless until some group figures out how to reverse-engineer the damn things.
Wonder if they had a major hack/attack, to the point that their own servers/equipment were destroyed with no backups. So they just went and nope'd out. Going to be a legal nightmare, I bet.
And just think about big services you rely on, especially business-wise. What happens if a major service provider, particularly cloud-based, suddenly goes under with literally no warning? What about your data (and backups), which were based on those services (and now are unreachable)?
How about blockchain? It's supposed to be distributed, but several major ones have already been shown to be centralized, even to the point of 'forking' the chain prior to some weird/criminal trades/thefts and starting over from that point. If the main group 'hosting' the chain and doing all the management work suddenly disappears, what then? The data is there, but going forward will probably be a hydra of offshoots as 15 different groups try to pick it up and be the head of it.

I work in this space. The answer is to evaluate the risk of that happening and the potential business impact, and that sets your budget for distributing your servers across multiple cloud services or data centers. I know of businesses that have duplicate infrastructures in AWS, Azure, and a couple of third-tier cloud providers just in case.

GitHub is what happens when a bunch of middling-to-terrible script kiddies LARPing as coders fail to get enough asspats because at best their contribs are already done better by competent coders, and as a result add LARPing as women to their preexisting play-pretendy games to get those vital asspats.
Unfortunately, it worked: enough thirsty NuMales were so desperate for female attention that they decided to go with terrible bootlegs, gave these narcissistic dopamine junkies their fix, and then put them in charge of projects based on the amount of asspats they got. So many of them infested GitHub not because of their skill or commitment, but just asspat numbers alone. Turns out this isn't such a good idea when you need people in charge who can code at least well enough not to irrevocably break shit.
