There can be no doubt that what assange did was not journalism in this instance.

NN88··on The Touchscreen Infotainment Systems in New Cars Are a Distracting Mess
a lot of high end cars are allowing you to skip the huge screens in lieu of analog gauges.

its like the car industry forgot what made the iPhone great... a touch screen device that didn't suck. Before that, everything was a laggy bloated unpredictable mess that sometimes registered a fingerprint

Theres spy shots that the new S Class will be all touch screens. https://www.motor1.com/news/337416/2021-mercedes-s-class-spi...

What the hell are people thinking?

The range rovers, Porsche's, and Audis are going that way too.

How can this be remotely positive?

Its like these cars are made for leasing, ONLY. They can't be thinking about long term reliability.

I'm at the point where I'm avoiding cars with too many touch screen options for vehicle control. That UI is a life and death decision and I'm not joking.

NN88··on HIV Is Reported Cured in a Second Patient
>One important caveat to any such approach is that the patient would still be vulnerable to a form of H.I.V. called X4, which employs a different protein, CXCR4, to enter cells.

>“This is only going to work if someone has a virus that really only uses CCR5 for entry — and that’s actually probably about 50 percent of the people who are living with H.I.V., if not less,” said Dr. Timothy J. Henrich, an AIDS specialist at the University of California, San Francisco.

>Even if a person harbors only a small number of X4 viruses, they may multiply in the absence of competition from their viral cousins. There is at least one reported case of an individual who got a transplant from a delta 32 donor but later rebounded with the X4 virus. (As a precaution against X4, Mr. Brown is taking a daily pill to prevent H.I.V. infection.)

This...leaves a lot to be desired...

NN88··on Edward Snowden Reconsidered
So we're supposed to be OK with this?

>Snowden’s tweets and lectures have real-world impact. After his disclosures, Tor’s usership shot up from a million to six million. He repeatedly tweeted to his followers that they should use Tor and Signal. Tor’s default search engine DuckDuckGo, which claims to protect privacy by refraining from the profiling that other browsers do in order to provide personalized searches, saw a 600 percent increase in traffic over just a few months. One of DuckDuckGo’s partners is Yandex, Russia’s government-controlled search engine, although the company says it does not allow the collection or sharing of user data by its partners. Certification by the Snowden brand may well be the chief reason that so much faith is now placed uncritically in these platforms.
