Why would these be sold to counter infection?

Iew, using the word normies seriously makes you sound like an incel.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip 1 week ago:
I don’t know which company I would trust developing my brain implant, but it sure as hell isn’t Tesla. Their software and hardware history is less than stellar.
- Comment on Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track 4 weeks ago:
It was midichlorians all along.
- Comment on LEARN THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE 👏👏👏 4 weeks ago:
No, I also though so at first but a quick google confirms this is right.
If you look up ‘freshwater crocodile’ you’ll see he looks a lot like his mommy.
- Comment on My house! 5 weeks ago:
So which house do you live?
The one with the plants.
Eehh… you should give me more details.
No, no I don’t.
- Comment on So glad I'm ditching these fucking idiots 2 months ago:
Ah FINALLY there is a good fork. FreeCAD exists now for like 15 years, but almost no one uses it because the ui absolutely sucks. And the worst part is, the maintainers know it but they refuse to change it because they think they’re geniuses and everyone else should conform to their twisted vision of cad ui instead of following the standard of literally every other cad program out there.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 2 months ago:
What if you don’t have Angkor graphicscard? Wait 5 minutes for your URL completion to finish?
- Comment on China consumer prices plunge at fastest rate for 15 years as deflation fears deepen 3 months ago:
And if food becomes too cheap producers will stop making it, which has its own obvious problems.
- Comment on Security researcher charged with defrauding Apple out of more than $2.5 million, company thanks him two weeks later 3 months ago:
What’s wrong with it? Just a normal, albeit kinda flat, keyboard.
- Comment on Former PM Gordon Brown slams ‘obscene’ levels of destitution in the UK, criticises ministers for ‘moral outrage’ of ‘systematically shredding’ social security system 3 months ago:
Well, at least he slammed them. I’m sure the slammees are very slammed right now and are hoping not to receive any more slammings.
- Comment on A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years 4 months ago:
The problem with led bulbs is that they are build to operate at their limits. It’s still within spec, but just barely which is why they break so quickly. If you would reduce the current by half they would last for decades.
But of course Big-Light doesn’t want that, so after the initial well-build led bulbs became standard they switched to cheaper designs with less internal led modules for the same brightness.
- Comment on I'm using gpt4 on bing.com they call it copilot, i can only get it to generate images in 1024x1024 is there a way to get a higher resolution? 4 months ago:
Bing itself cannot upscale it or generate a higher resolution, it just can’t. Vast majority of ai generators can’t, by the way.
You can either Upscale it yourself using something like upscayl (www.upscayl.org) which is probably the easiest option, although not very customizable. Or learn to use something like comfyui (comfyanonymous.github.io/…/upscale_models/) for more control. And you can even generate images with comfyui.
- Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages? 4 months ago:
In water yes, but not in sodas.
- Comment on When characters in a cartoon start speaking a different language do they get someone else to do the line or does the voice actor learn the line on their own? 4 months ago:
Probably just the voice actors, most of the time the pronunciation sucks. Like in Oppenheimer where he suddenly talks Dutch, just complete gibberish and all the scientists are there smiling and nodding thinking “What an idiot, thinks he can learn a language in a few weeks”.

Oven cleaner works a treat too.
- Comment on €45,000 for a heat pump installation in Germany -- really? 5 months ago:
If you have a cavity, which a house from the 1920s probably doesn’t have.
- Comment on Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars 5 months ago:
All cheap cars are made ugly on purpose to make the expensive models more attractive to buy.
- Comment on Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars 5 months ago:
The “giant” battery should be at least 10x bigger to call it “medium sized”.
- Comment on Hummingbird feet 5 months ago:
Nature doesn’t have a reason to do things. There’s no ‘why’ in anything, other than ‘the laws of physics make it do so’.
- Comment on Did you knew that? [This is on Next Level] 5 months ago:
Of course it is safe. It can contain dust and other particles (nowadays mainly some PFAS), but rainwater itself is quite safe.
Of course if you collect it from your gutters it’s probably dirty from the crap on your roof.
- Comment on Is this a bad option for a home server? 6 months ago:
I didn’t see anyone else say this, but 7200 rpm disks are way louder than 5400. Where my server is it would be annoying, but if it’s in a closed room somewhere you’ll be fine.
- Comment on The new Outlook may give Microsoft access to third-party emails and logins - gHacks Tech News 6 months ago:
It’s a little worse than that. Microsoft copies your password, credentials and all your emails to their server. Future emails then also go through their servers.
If you have a business this probably constitutes a data leak.
- Comment on bro pls 6 months ago:
It’s just a collider, not a fusion reactor. But there are multiple sites where they experiment with it.
- Comment on Gaza hospital overwhelmed with 60% of casualties women and children 7 months ago:
The border is closed. And where and how exactly are you gonna house and feed a million people? And how will you move a million people, including the elderly, children, pregnant women? The infrastructure there is shaky at best on a good day.
This is pure genocide that’s happening. Israel was already systematically wiping out the Palestinian people and now their plans have just been accelerated.
- Comment on Mathematician warns US spies may be weakening next-gen encryption 7 months ago:
Before, elliptical curve encryption has been hailed as the new golden standard, only too bad there is a serious weakness where if you know the seed you can crack the code. And guess who has the seed? Starts with N and ends with SA.

They already warned for that like 5 years ago when I was looking for a cheap box.
- Comment on There are identical twins out there whose parents confused one with the other and now they living their life with the name of the other sibling, never noticing because it doesn't make any difference. 9 months ago:
Shit, I still can’t recognize your daughter.
- Comment on The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation? 9 months ago:
First of all, the amount of water in your body doesn’t matter. Gravity doesn’t just affect water.
Secondly, the gravity of the moon on earth is about 1 millionth of the gravity of earth itself. So basically you lose more weight by spitting once than you lose because of the moons gravity.
And thirdly, why only during full moon? The moon is still there even when it’s not full, so the gravity is also still there. Even during the day the moon is still there.
All this full moon stuff is just pseudoscience.
- Comment on FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users 9 months ago:
I wouldn’t even be surprised it it came out the FBI was hosting fediverse servers aimed at some crime. Like a instance dedicated to digital piracy.
