DRAM prices have jumped by 20% for the second month in a row — surging demand is likely due to stockpiling.

I favor Linux Mint LMDE with its Cinnamon desktop environment to keep older PCs fast and useful without Windows 11.

This paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-025-01290-1 is interesting. They tested Vitamin B3 in a pill that is

designed to release nicotinamide [a form of Vitamin B3] in the lower small intestine and colon

And found:

1️⃣ Acute COVID-19 might be safely and easily reduced in severity and duration
2️⃣ In general, no improvement in Long COVID rates (here termed Post-COVID syndrome, PCS)
3️⃣ BUT, for people with recovery-like trajectories, they found superior outcomes. This takes a few quotes:

The subgroup was

participants at risk who had shown improvement in the primary endpoint or one of the three key secondary endpoints in the acute phase of the disease

In [this] subgroup, a significant benefit of nicotinamide was also observed in participants with PCS (nicotinamide: n = 48, PCS score 8.33 ± 0.84; placebo: n = 57, PCS score 11.82 ± 1.03; absolute difference: −3.49; 95% confidence interval, −6.1 to −0.86; P = 0.010

Now we all know how Long COVID isn't one single disease. Let's assume for a second that other results that suggest at least one subset has a microbiome component are correct.

As they say "life finds a way" so it would make sense that remnant gut populations could rebound over time and that this subset of LC sufferers might be more likely to have recovery trajectories. (This while we have no treatments for any subset.)

This obviously won't stop the pandemic nor its consequences, but still, here's hoping that there's no patent encumbrance on coating B3 for lower-gut delivery.

Of course here in BC we'll get access the same time we get access to Metformin. ⌛

Not excactly a good thing that I slipped on my way out of the bath tub yesterday night, but with that as the scenario:
1. We own crutches ourselves.
2. I did not hit my head, the #pcs (Post Concussion Syndrome) makes me ridicilously afraid of head setbacks.
3. I have the very best husband, who spoils me with bedside coffee. 🥰
And even 4.!
It is the left foot that hurts, so I will be back in the car in a few days. No clutch in our "new" car.

"New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.

The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant — what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money — but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.

'Picks And Shovels' is a high-tech crime thriller about the “weird era of PCs” in the early 1980s, when Reaganomics, the tech industry, multilevel marketing, and the AIDS crisis all converged in San Francisco. "—Jacobin

2. There will be a toddler there!🥰
3. We have had the laziest morning, in company with Ray Charles and friends, so I will manage the drive AND the visit.

Microsoft really doesn't want customers to upgrade older PCs, but there are workarounds for many models. Here's how you can find out whether your Windows 10 PC can safely upgrade to Windows 11 - for free.

Monday 06:56
Some may have noticed that I am quite sporadic these days with a morning timed message. They will continue on days I have something to report or say.

Health-wise, I stay the same with on-off focus periods with my brain where I am sharp or need a nap to reset. Naps / Sleep remains only a few hours at a time. #Concussion #PCS

Today starts a new work week with the #FoodBank, which shall be interesting:
Monday: Split shifts of Office and Home.
Tuesday: Work from Home. #WFH
Wednesday: Split shifts of Office and Home.
Thursday: Arianna has a medical procedure for which she is being sedated. I am taking PTO to be her driver and carer.
Friday: PTO
BTW - Saturday: Podcrawl - details here: https://tuxjam.otherside.network/podcrawl/

Over the weekend I completed a designated batch of typing up #Bible extracts from an international local people group. Sent in my completed work to my #MissionAssist supervisor, and received a new batch this morning.

I shall have my first #Coffee of the day at work.
Take care of yourself, and your neighbours.

Trump administration exempts smartphones, PCs, and chips from reciprocal tariffs… for now

After announcing this week that most products shipped to the US from China would be subject to tariffs of 145 percent, the Trump Administration has rolled back tariffs on smartphones, laptop and desktop computers, chips, and other components that are not generally manufactured in the US.

That doesn’t mean there are no tariffs on those items. But products shipped from Taiwan, South Korea, […]

Hinzu kommt das Tragen von #FFP2 Masken. Es sollte selbstverständlich sein, ist aber durch Desinformation und Framing 'verpöhnt', wenn man das so diplomatisch betiteln möchte.

Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr meine Petition #HygieneNeuDenken chng.it/fFZ4YcTDxW unterschreibt und natürlich teilt ♥

Die Intention ist und bleibt weiterhin, Menschen vor gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen und dauerhaften Behinderungen zu bewahren.
