Re: Madness...

Yes, this has stop, an utter waste of energy for a products (gpu, blockchain and gen. “A.I”) in search of a solution

Re: Windows RT 2?

This - I’m running Win 11 on Parallels on an M1Pro MacBook and performance is pretty impressive, and have not hit compatibility issues with non native binaries.

You can even get some reasonable gaming out of it (not the latest and greatest, but better than I expect a lot of people here are thinking). Check out https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/Home for a good overview.

Re: Ummm...

Not true anymore. Win 11 for ARM is running plenty of legacy software for me on my M1Pro MacBook via Parallels. Won’t run the latest games, that’s true, but Microsoft have done a good job of handling x64 binaries on Win 11z

Re: "...over 85% of the population on at least their first jab..."

Evolution is just change driven by mutation. The mutation may or may not be beneficial, may be neutral. It may be selected for, or it may drift into dominance. There’s nothing magic or significantly different between us and viruses here, other than viruses reproduce a lot more and a lot faster. There doesn’t have to be an advantage in the unvaccinated person - it can just be random chance, you don’t need selection pressure for change in the first place.

So, you have a large reservoir of unvaccinated people where virus reproduction and mutation is occurring - a low mutation rate in a large number of people can produce an awful lot of variation. This most certainly can and does act as a reservoir for infecting vaccinated people, especially given protection is far from 100%. They’re also much more likely to be mingling with people than anyone who has a poor immune system, so have far more opportunity to infect other, vaccinated, people..

Any virus strain which can successfully jump from unvaccinated to vaccinated is going to do very well given we’ve got a lot of people vaccinated - that’s where selection pressure kicks in. We’re basically creating the ideal selection conditions for creating a vaccine resistant strain.

Re: So this is what the party of No Platform has become...

I'm utterly sick of people equating critisim of Israel with anti-semitism. They're not the same and it's lazy disingenuous bullshit shouting down to claim they are. I'm not anti-Semitic but I cannot support the behaviour of the Israeli government. I can't support the behaviour of many other states either - including our own, with their attack on civil liberties and the poor.
