Arizona update: Cases/day now under 1000 & falling quickly. Deaths per day under 50 & falling quickly. ICU occupancy @ 87%, only 18% of which is due to COVID patients, same as it was in April last year. I think the 2 weeks to flatten the curve are finally over. If the governor follows Texas, I'd be surprised to not see a small bump in cases over a few weeks but I doubt it will be worse than that.
What got me into GUI modding was a little program called Icon Do-It for Win 3.0. Impulse buy at Fry's one day in the early '90s. Ultimately led me here.

Arizona's second wave of positive cases peaked on January 4th & deaths peaked January 18th; both have been rapidly dropping since. Overall ICU bed utilization has been relatively flat but the percentage of beds used for COVID patients has plunged. Just over a million people (state population ~7.2mil) have received at least one dose of vaccine, 375k of them have received both. That's over a span of about 75 days. All but the most jaded among us would have to consi
Vaccinating everyone is a pipe dream and not necessary - only those at higher risk really benefit, just like with the flu shot. We're not going to eliminate COVID like we did smallpox or polio, barring a technological breakthrough unimagined at present. It may become a seasonal illness like influenza, for which seasonal vaccination may be beneficial, or it may fade away on its own, but we will learn to live with it if it sticks around just as we have influenza.

Fuckerberg, Gates, Cook, Dorsey - sure, let's trust the future of mankind to those dweebs. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, there ya go again. Arguing things I didn't say.
I'll let the snide pass, but you keep putting words in my mouth, Paul. I did not use the word "only," or mention Trump or Draino. I've also yet to hear of one epidemiologist claiming that masks &/or distancing stop flu better than COVID.
Clarification. Can't credit masks/distancing for the disappearance of influenza. School closures... maybe.
DuckDuckGo has a nice browser for iOS & Android but I've not seen anything about an actual browser for Windows, as opposed to its search engine.
[quote who="Iben" reply="24" id="3797830"] If there had been no government mandated lock downs, the virus would have and the out come would have been worse. [/quote] That remains a debatable point. On the "Where did flu go?" question, I heard a plausible theory this week. Posits that school closures are a major reason based on the known high degree of contagiousness of influenza among children. Can't credit masks/distancing given COVID spread despite them
I'm still on Brave at home & use only LastPass, Scroll to Top Button and Tabs to the Front. I've been using the new Edge at work for a couple of months now and am pretty impressed with it. Still have lingering paranoia about Microsoft, but my new tin hat seems to work pretty well. Use same extensions as above plus HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and PixelBlock. Tried ClearURLs but it caused some issues with legitimate redirects. As an asid
MeWe is emerging as an alternative to Facebook. 2.5 million new members in the past week. I don't do any social media myself, just passing the info along.

Kamala Harris's language about BLM/Antifa riots was more specifically inciting than anything Trump actually said. And don't go stupid on me - I can't stand Trump's ego and grandstanding bu
Just like 2016.
Thanks, Doc!
There is no such thing as an unbiased fact-checker. Read the content (of anything) & decide for yourself.

Nutshell: [quote]I remember a time when it was the left that feared multinational mega corps taking over our lives. I would have never guessed that the trick to get the left's approval for that take over was to simply ban people that the left doesn't like. [/quote]
[quote who="JoDa" reply="8" id="3796167"] My studies in psychology over the decades taught me this attack was inevitable if you allow people to say whatever they want. Social media must be heavily censored if not banned or this will happen again. And it will be worse. Modern science has proven over and over again that people are not equal. [/quote] I could not disagree more.
Jafo - Lots of people want to be little Fuckerbergs, apparently.[e digicons]:blush:[/e]
ObjectDock's developer was either a Stardock employee or contractor. Development stopped when he left Stardock a number of years ago. And JanOscar is correct that it was never included in the Object Desktop suite of apps.
[quote who="worker17" reply="13" id="3795999"] So basically, it doesn't work. And the solution is for me to manually check for updates for each product. [/quote] Well, Yes and No. For reasons unclear, Object Desktop Manager itself has been problematic on some customers' computers for years now (lots of posts about it here). Sounds like your particular rig is one of them; same for me in the past. It works flawlessly on many, if not most, though. <
