  Trump accepts US presidency transition to Biden must begin Donald Trump has accepted a formal US transition should begin for President-elect Joe Biden to take office. The president said the federal agency overseeing the handover must "do what needs to be done", even as he vowed to keep contesting his election defeat. The General Services Administration (GSA) said it was acknowledging Mr Biden as the "apparent winner". It came as Mr Biden's victory in the state of Michigan was officially certified, a major blow to Mr Trump. The GSA announcement means the president-elect now has access to top security briefings, office space and government officials as he prepares to take office on 20 January.

  @siringo said in What Are You Watching Now: Man in the High Castle The nazi stuff doesn't sit easily with me. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3774332697?playlistId=tt1740299 Pretty good show. I do think if Germany/Japan won the war, it would have been worse than what is depicted in the show.

I did not like them before they got caught stealing info. ALso, tha tis Windows 10 S mode. No thanks. Wait - stealing info? I don't know about that one. I know about Superfish - installed shim in network stack you couldn't get rid of to allow advertisers, etc access into encrypted transmissions and the BIOS thing would would reinstall the Lenovo tools under windows... That's what Superfish does, sends data back to a Lenovo "partner" company. They can steal any data they want, and you can do nothing about it. OH I didn't realize it was actually sending data back to partners.. I thought it's general purpose was to insert ads... of course, it could do any damned thing it wanted.... Right, exactly, it was an unlimited capability device. It could inject or retrieve data in either direction. In order to inject, it would have to send back first.

  @dafyre said in Covid: Antibodies 'fall rapidly after infection': @Dashrender said in Covid: Antibodies 'fall rapidly after infection': I have no idea what we are talking about anymore Kung Flu or Corona Virus or the astronomical costs of health related stuff... Or some combination there of. OH is that all? we're all fooked - that's all I know. my own opinion that no one has asked for or cares about - The pandemic will end (end-ish) when those with co-morbidities get it and die off. Those left behind will get Covid again and again just like people get a cold or flu again and again. I have zero expectation that a vaccine will wipe this thing out... That said - I'll be happily wrong if we instead end up like measles and the vaccine does prevent the disease... but I certainly don't expect that to the be the case. So with my opinion being what is it - how long do we keep things locked down, destroying the economy, etc?

  So as we pack to move I am very carefully unloading books that I don't feel that we should store, ship, and unpack in a foreign country. But it's hard, I own SO many books still, even after going through this process many times, and there are many that are like unread or I want to read with my kids. But HB had a deal on RA Salvatore books this week, so I bought like 20 RAS Drizzt titles and then was happy to put all of those physical books into donation boxes. That freed up a lot of moving box space!

  @scottalanmiller said in The Skinny on Plex: How Are People Using It: Anyone used Jellyfin? I had never heard about it, so I added it to my Plex server. It's actually not bad as far as an interface goes. However, the metadata it pulled for my movie collection is horrendous. I turned that part off, lol.

SSD yes, M2 no. Rock Pi and Pine64 Pro have the M2 interface as their killer feature. Ah - Thank you for the correction.

  @IRJ said in GPD mini PC arrives: How did you end up liking this system? I liked it well enough- until there was issues with the battery. Which caused all sorts of issues. I ended up selling it on eBay and taking a bath on it. Great idea, just not as well implemented.
