DaemonFC[m]Suicides increased in Lake County 9.1 percent between March 15 and Thursday, over the same period last year; and drug-overdose deaths went up 12.3 percent during the same period.Oct 04 02:45
DaemonFC[m]From March 15 through Thursday, 44 people committed suicide compared to 40 during the same dates in 2019, according Lake County Coroner’s Office statistics. There are no records for attempts.Oct 04 02:45
DaemonFC[m]During the same time-frame, 73 people died from drug overdoses compared to 64 a year ago, according to the coroner’s office.Oct 04 02:45
DaemonFC[m]That's not as big of an increase as the anti-lockdown protesters suggested.Oct 04 02:45
DaemonFC[m]They said "More people will die of suicide than the virus.Oct 04 02:45
DaemonFC[m]Even if we accept the claim that the additional 4 suicides were because of the economy, the virus has killed over 480 people in Lake County.Oct 04 02:45
oarion7Eventually the estimated deaths associated with COVID will have to be compared to excess deaths generally. The UN et al acknowledged openly in April the prediction that lockdowns were going to kill hundreds of thousands, it's not exactly a point of dispute. I live in an extremely Democrat-voting US city (I wouldn't call it 'Progressive') and the general attitude of the working class, regardlessOct 04 03:46
oarion7of political affiliations, is in favor of masks but against the businesses getting shut down. Most people don't know anyone who's died from Covid, but they know plenty of people facing unprecedent desperation and stress due to the business shutdowns/regulations, etc. Oct 04 03:46

schestowitzand another HPOct 04 07:03
schestowitzit seems to be getting more and more useless over timeOct 04 07:03
schestowitzinstead of reporting full it's now always reporting as "charging"Oct 04 07:04
schestowitzyesterday with 90%Oct 04 07:04
schestowitztoday 89%Oct 04 07:04
schestowitzis it normal for laptop batteries to get some weird over time?Oct 04 07:04
schestowitzto the point of becoming useless?Oct 04 07:04
schestowitzand, if so, should I just remove to battery?Oct 04 07:04
schestowitzor use it every now and then (plugged out of socket) to 'help' it?Oct 04 07:05
ChaekyungyesOct 04 07:05
schestowitzto what?Oct 04 07:05
schestowitzmy experience with laptop batteries if very bad, and not only mineOct 04 07:05
schestowitz*isOct 04 07:05
Chaekyungit's actually specially normal that the battery goes bad over time if it's always plugged in and charging. lithium batteries are like that. some newer laptops have "protection" so they stop charging the battery when it's plugged in and fullOct 04 07:05
schestowitzoh, I seeOct 04 07:06
Chaekyungit's the same with smart phone batteries, though people don't tend to leave them plugged in as much as some laptops that sit on a table always plugged inOct 04 07:06
schestowitzthat makes perfect senseOct 04 07:06
schestowitzso you're saying that the system basically stops charging it if it's always plugged inOct 04 07:06
Chaekyungyou get more out of a laptops battery if you unplug it when it's full or above 90% and start charging before it's empty at 5-10%Oct 04 07:06
schestowitzto keep it healthy in the long run?Oct 04 07:07
ChaekyungOne problem is that a lot of 5+ year old laptops don't do thatOct 04 07:07
Chaekyungthey just keep on trying to charge a full battery which wears it outOct 04 07:07
schestowitzbut should I therefore unplug it or just let it do its "smart" thing?Oct 04 07:07
Chaekyungalso, batteries don't last that long regardless Oct 04 07:07
Chaekyungidk what kind of laptop you have, if it's old it may not have any smart feature Oct 04 07:07
schestowitzit seems like it doesOct 04 07:08
schestowitzas it stands at 90% and today 89% (less) while saying it's chargingOct 04 07:08
schestowitzand yet it never changes (the % stays the same)Oct 04 07:08
Chaekyungperhaps it can't charge what it expects to be 100% anymore due to ageOct 04 07:08
Chaekyunghow old is it?Oct 04 07:08
schestowitzmakes senseOct 04 07:08
schestowitzHP ProBookOct 04 07:09
schestowitzIt's about 4 years oldOct 04 07:09
ChaekyungSome laptops has something called "battery calibration" where it can try to charge to 100% and it will set another value to "full" (perhaps 90% of current) if it can'tOct 04 07:09
ChaekyungMost Dell laptops have that, Lenovo's usually don't. No idea about HPOct 04 07:09
schestowitz(though what you say now makes perfect sense... I just always had issues with laptop batteries, sometimes after as little as one year)Oct 04 07:09
schestowitzSo it's nothing to be alarmed about, based on what you're sayingOct 04 07:10
Chaekyungon this topic, here's something that annoys me immensily: There's no battery standard. Not even in the same brand. One laptop from Lenovo can't use a battery from anotherOct 04 07:10
schestowitzand I suppose if I get 90% of what >used< to be, after 4 years, then it's not too badOct 04 07:10
Chaekyungand when you need a new battery after 10 years you can't buy oneOct 04 07:10
schestowitzsame for power socketsOct 04 07:10
Chaekyungyeah if you can recalibrate it and get it working fine with 90% capacity that's alrightOct 04 07:11
schestowitzI had to waste 40 pounds, TWICE over the year, to get some multi-headed kit for as lousy power cable with swappable headsOct 04 07:11
Chaekyungsince you have a website, what do you think, should I -j DROP someone who has decided to fetch the RSS feed every 30 seconds?Oct 04 07:12
schestowitzI have just checked the other two laptopsOct 04 07:12
schestowitzASUS says "fully charged"Oct 04 07:12
schestowitzat 97%Oct 04 07:12
schestowitzlolOct 04 07:12
schestowitzso it uses some odd value for 100%, which cannot be reached anymoreOct 04 07:12
schestowitzmachine from 2017Oct 04 07:12
Chaekyungperhaps the newer Asus auto-calibrates. That's probably a good thingOct 04 07:13
schestowitzAcer from 2016 says 100% and "not charging"Oct 04 07:14

oiaohmDaemonFC[m]: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.snes9x.Snes9x   Its not just Debian Guidelines.    The shim signed by Microsoft debian uses they have the source and can do a reproductable build to confirm that the executable parts are valid.  snes9x you simple don't have the source.  Debian rules would allow snes9x to be in the non-free repository if their was a maintainer for it.Oct 04 21:31
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-flathub.org | Flathub—An app store and build service for LinuxOct 04 21:31
DaemonFC[m]The snes9x code is available.Oct 04 21:43
DaemonFC[m]The only part that makes it not open source is the no commercial use license.Oct 04 21:43
DaemonFC[m]I would argue that shim is not Free and Open Source because without Microsoft's signature, it's pointless.Oct 04 21:44
DaemonFC[m]It doesn't do anything.Oct 04 21:44
DaemonFC[m]The only reason for it to be there is for the signature so the BIOS will go ahead and hand over to that and then that can start GRUB on a system with Secure Boot and Microsoft's keys.Oct 04 21:44
DaemonFC[m]If you're not doing that then there's no point to have shim.Oct 04 21:45
DaemonFC[m]They're deliberately muddying the waters because it's easier to call Debian Free Software that way even though it has a binary-only module to get it to boot. Oct 04 21:45
DaemonFC[m]Furthermore, with this kernel lockdown patchset, it's now breaking things that have always worked before as long as Secure Boot is on, so having Secure Boot on is a net negative because legitimate uses of root modifying kernel variables are now totally broken, including Hibernate.Oct 04 21:47
DaemonFC[m]Your computer basically works as long as you don't want to toggle kernel variables or use some power management features. Oct 04 21:47
