I guess the one thing this article doesn’t answer is why the default hardware configuration is for the slower transfer rate? Is there some downside to this mod?

It still applies in the UK, just not between UK-EU transactions because those are cross border now

He suggested that you can't find a similar or better quality display for $1000, not that it's the best display that exists.

At that price point you can find something that, at best, meets three of the criteria you've listed while heavily compromising on the rest.

That's definitely not the case, all 4K HDR videos are VP9 for me on YouTube with Safari

Which ones? I'm only aware of boards that aren't anywhere near the £5-35 price class the Raspberry Pis inhabit, and even then there's just absolutely nothing like the third party ecosystem that the Pis have.

I am very Interested in a good mobile Windows/Ryzen laptop with a MacBook Air-comparable form factor, performance, and battery life. Please link if you know of one.

All the Intel machines I've looked into have fans and still manage to be 30-50% slower.

it's on a FAT partition, you can edit it by plugging the sd card into something else

There's a 100Wh restriction on laptop batteries imposed by civil aviation, which the 16" MacBook Pro hits, so this is not a problem that can simply be solved with thicker chassis and larger batteries either.

They very much put some numbers on performance in the keynote, you can go back and watch it.

The Max:

10.4 tflops

327 gtexels/sec

Please show some evidence - MacBooks are so widespread that it should be very easy to find something backing this up if it were the case.

But it's literally not true. I am typing this from my M1 MacBook with the bottom panel open just to prove this point.

For what it's worth I don't think Apple has actually ever done this, and whatever made him believe they do was probably some other oversight during their disassembly/reassembly of the laptop

I agree too. I look forward to Cuba allowing third parties to corroborate their results.

The Lancet publishing data does not mean the data is correct, they do not verify it. It's all based on trust.

Typically Ad5 causes upper respiratory tract infections which may manifest as a cold if you’re lucky or lead to pneumonia if you’re not, although things like conjunctivitis and gastroenteritis are not unheard of. Obviously we don’t know how applicable this knowledge is to the Sputnik Ad5.

> I agree this is about quality control and it is extremely unlikely to affect vaccine efficacy. (If anything, it would improve vaccine efficacy.)

I don’t think you can say this with much certainty, if the viruses either regained or never lost E1, it’s also possible that the same is true with E3 which modulates immune response.

Also, either of these genes could’ve replaced the Coronavirus spike protein.
