Guereric··on Apollo will close down on June 30th
Any tips on using old reddit on a phone? Constantly zooming in to press unfriendly-for-tap buttons make it a chore, compared to Apollo.
Guereric··on The Future of Thunderbird
I use Hckrnews.com, which is convenient on my phone and allows me to filter posts in order to be focused with my time.

Guereric··on Man given genetically modified pig heart dies
I found extra information for those curious about statistics involving human heart transplantation [1]:

"The most recent data of the registry of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation indicates a current 1-year survival of 84.5% and a 5-year survival of 72.5%. This has significantly improved as compared to the 76.9% 1-year survival and 62.7% 5-year survival in the 1980s. The development of new immunosuppressive drugs which allow a variety of immunosuppressive regimens, tailored to the individual patient, has contributed to this success, since rejection and the adverse effects of immunosuppression could be better controlled. After 20 years, ca. 21% of patients are still alive, according to the international registry. In some experienced centers, long-term survival is reported to be even higher. The University Hospital Zurich has achieved a 20-year survival rate of 55.6%.

The improvement in outcome over the decades is related mainly to an increase in survival over the first year. After this period, the attrition rate of ca. 3-4% per year has remained similar over the different eras. This might be attributable to the fact that it was not possible to reduce the incidence of long-term complications after heart transplantation, such as chronic allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and malignancies, which account for ca. 35% of all deaths after 10 to 15 years."

Guereric··on Arthritis drug that cost $198 in 2008 is now more than $10k
Doesn't retrograde imply that the procedure goes up the colon?

Guereric··on The Rise of North Korea's Hacking Army
On every thread with a paywalled site, I appreciate the kindness you show by linking an archive copy.
Guereric··on Apple's privacy labels show WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger hunger for user data
I am flabbergasted that this author attributed to 9to5 mac the privacy labels of different apps in the screenshot, when tracing the sources shows it was Zak Doffman at Forbes who created it. Poor journalism.
Guereric··on Apple Backtracks After Popular Mac App 'Amphetamine' Threatened with Removal
Everything relevant to the reader is captured by the twitter post of the developer. What does macrumours, or the verge from an earlier post, add?

Guereric··on We should administer Covid-19 vaccines as fast as possible, not reserve doses
I got the Pfizer vaccine in Alberta, Canada. Our vaccine FAQ says that getting the second injection 21d to 28d after the first is recommended. Up to 3 months after is allowed, but not advised. For delays longer than 3 months, the person simply won't get the second dose.
Guereric··on ‘Extremely aggressive’ internet censorship spreads in the world’s democracies
It's succinct and relevant. What do you suggest is better?

Do we know what program they use for their presentations?
Guereric··on iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro
At a certain point, does the bezel thickness matter anymore? Surely not to me.
Guereric··on Privacy is the most important concept of our time
It's public space. Permission is not needed.
Guereric··on Google says it doesn't monopolize digital ad market – senators don't buy it
Thanks, I learned much about the workings of ad space from reading it.
Guereric··on What Ancient Romans Used Instead of Toilet Paper
I imagine the underwear will absorb the excess water and evaporate it over time.
Guereric··on Intel Exiting 5G Modems
I'm disappointed by this news because Intel was the only mobile modem manufacturer who was competitive (or nearly competitive) to Qualcomm in North America. Without Samsung, without Chinese OEMs, Qualcomm is unfettered in its monopoly here.
Guereric··on I Lied When I Said We Did Everything We Could
I agree that frank discussions between the healthcare team and patient/family would be ideal. Suppositions that the team knows best, intimidation from lack of knowledge, and unrealistic expectations can lead to unhappy outcomes for both parties. I'm sorry that your mom didn't receive the care that you and your sister felt she deserved. Messages like this will help others.
Guereric··on Making Video Games Is Not a Dream Job
Sleeping Dogs is one of my favourite games of all time. It got me hooked immediately from the login screen with the unforgettable soundtrack. Thanks for your contribution to the game.
Guereric··on Trains are more efficient and less polluting than other transportation modes
Article reminded me of this YT video from Wendover Productions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9poImReDFeY. It covers many of the same topics with specific numbers used for comparisons in fares and fuel usage.
Guereric··on What Happened to the 100000 Hour LED Bulbs?
What do you think of the Phoebus cartel? Is a form of it still continuing nowadays?
Guereric··on What Happened to the 100000 Hour LED Bulbs?
It's implied in the conclusion that 100,000 hours are not necessary because the progress of technology results in more efficient, brighter, and higher CRI bulbs.

Guereric··on China Cracks Down on Churches
I was surprised by this and the amount of detail regarding the workarounds by the local dissenters. Nowhere in the article did it state that PII was masked.

I wonder if the assumption is that, all the descriptions in the article are already known to the CCP.

Guereric··on Apple confirms some iPad Pros ship slightly bent, but says it’s normal
>Almost all of the widespread hardware problems Apple is experiencing these days could've been avoided if they would just allow themselves an extra millimeter or gram here and there.

That's a bold claim. Can you back up it?

Guereric··on Heading to a cardiologist
Source? I have never seen 120/80 mmHg, which is vastly considered normal for those without CV disease, labelled as pre-hypertension.
