Get your GP to prescribe it! You can get it under 50, just need a prescription.

(I had shingles in my 20s; it sucks; I got shingrix in my 30s by Rx.)

One of oldest HIGH-LEVEL programming languages. "Programming" originally meant physically flipping switches or plugging cables into boards. Eventually, this moved to binary (1s and 0s), and eventually to Assembly.

this is nice side benefit. but when you hit 50 you want the shingrex (two shots) vax ASAP. you def do NOT want shingles.

my dad (who has had the shingrex) sometimes still gets a mild case on his legs and when it does it is too painful to have anything touch his legs. no pants, not even a sheet.

my mom (who passed before shingrex) got a bad case in one eye and went blind in that eye.

so nice that kids have been getting the chickenpox vaccine for a while now and shouldn't have to deal much with shingles as the age.

I wonder what the US administration will demand from Netflix for approving this.

I really miss touch ID on my phone, all of the swiping is a little cumbersome and sore after a while. Stretching my hand to swipe up down and so forth. I deeply miss the home button.

same!

Yeah - I’ve heard people say that the laptop lid (screen) is too thin for the sensors required to do proper FaceID (as opposed to just using the existing optical camera, which is easily fooled). But I don’t understand why the notch part of the screen just couldn’t be a bit deeper (and have a corresponding cutout on the bottom part of the laptop to accomodate it when the lid is closed). Then again, given how often the FaceID on my iPhone fails to recognise me…

gorfian_robot · 14 days ago

trying turning off "require attention" for faceid on you phone..

and yeah, they can kill themselves making the iphone 17 air and a folding phone. but put an existing tech into a laptop? naw. not gonna do it.
