  Arizona doctor believes Vitamin C could be game changer in COVID-19 treatment Could a common vitamin prove to be a key in helping treat the coronavirus? Some doctors in both China and New York have been using Vitamin C to try to treat their patients. One Arizona doctor who’s been using this technique for other infections explains why vitamin C might be effective. The key, he says? Absorption through an IV. “When people get sick, the first thing in their body that actually gets depleted is vitamin C,” said Dr. Steven Katz, a naturopathic physician in Scottsdale. Dr. Katz often sees patients with pneumonia or bronchitis. The World Health Organization says coronavirus can lead to things like pneumonia. “I’ve been using Vitamin C for acute and chronic infection patients for a long time,” he said. He said the immune support the vitamin has on a person’s body is incredible. But he said it's more than just your typical Vitamin C pill or chewable gummy. Instead, it’s a very high dose of it through an IV that he said could help save these COVID-19 patients. “The absorption is going to be much higher when you go with an IV because it gets absorbed right away,” he said.

  @ChrisL said in What does your desk look like?: After some careful consideration, I realized I can do like 95% of my work on my iPad through the various social, cloud, and productivity apps. This is my current setup that I'm testing out. Anker Bluetooth keyboard, my iPad Mini, and a cardboard box so that my neck doesn't get tired from looking down. I'll probably upgrade to a refurbished 9.7" Pro at some point, but so far, so good. Is it an ipad if you add a keyboard? Seems like a Surface.

  @travisdh1 said in Need advice on Chrome books for home school.: @scottalanmiller said in Need advice on Chrome books for home school.: @Dashrender said in Need advice on Chrome books for home school.: @scottalanmiller said in Need advice on Chrome books for home school.: I have two girls and they compute from home (home schoolers) and they use Chomebooks and it works great. We have an older Asus right now. Asus, Acer, Samsung and others all make really nice ones. I know Lenovo hasn't been my favourite, but they make some great value ones, too. A friend of mine got a $179 really nice flip around touch screen Lenovo Chromebook last year. Very impressive. you would allow the purchase of a Lenovo? as enough time now passed? I'm just saying that the hardware was nice. I didn't buy it. Yeah, they still make the best hardware around for portable devices period. Too bad you can't trust them anywhere near your network. yeah, this is what really sucks!! I loved my old yoga until it died...

If so, you'd expect there to be some record of the government announcing not to call it. No more - I would expect the government to use eminent domain to demand it turned over to them.. but surprisingly, they haven't even don that.. As of right now, we aren't even sure they know. Scott and I have both tried to report this and so far... crickets. That's the biggest issue - I'm sure it's been reported.. but whoever received the reports didn't know what to do with the information. CCWTech even sent it to Trump! Well, shit. Now we know it will get fixed. I mean, he'll delegate it to the best person, a really terrific guy (no women allowed in the clubhouse), just a fantastic individual. Then in about a month, he'll fire that person and hire someone else as an interim, or maybe no one at all, but by then, we'll all have forgotten about the issue, until the person that first brought it up goes to a committee after 4 months and then ...wait, what was the original problem here?

  @Dashrender said in If there has been a breach.: @scottalanmiller said in If there has been a breach.: @Dashrender said in If there has been a breach.: Pretty much, which makes them horrible 'private' pieces of information. Which, neither is. Both are public non-ID items. The issue is random people choosing to avoid using an ID and is effectively a scam. Well, we'd like to say they aren't IDs, but the SSN has definitely become a defacto ID. You can hardly do anything without it - you can't get a job with it, they must report to the IRS using it, you can't get credit without it - the credit agencies only use that as a verifier of your identity, etc. Yes, but it is not an ID in those cases. It's an extra part tied to your other information that together form an ID. SS on its own in not unique, so doesn't identify you. You have to have one, and you have to have the right one, but knowing one doesn't prove the slightest thing to the IRS. Credit agencies make up something unrelated in association with it.

It's amazing how much equipment in the digital audio space is targeted at selling "analogue fixes" to digital systems in the hopes that the customer doesn't know what digital is or how it works. It's a huge market. Yeah just like so much of the monster stuff.

  @gjacobse said in Aliexpress: Has anyone ordered items from Aliexpress? The order I have placed with them is on hold, they want some financial information I don’t feel they need, but since we are talking about another country wanted to ask. They want a photo copy of my card statement, drover’s license or passport,... Seems odd to me,.... Never had any issues. Think of AliExpress as eBay + clearance platform. The question is: Who is asking? AE or the vendor? I would simply contact AE's customer support.

  @JaredBusch said in Hardware lifecycle expectation - discussion: @Dashrender said in Hardware lifecycle expectation - discussion: In light of Sonos and What's App dropping support for older hardware, I'm curious what others think about forced hardware/software retirement? What, if anything could be done (that would likely be accepted by the public) to solve the issue. I don't know about Sonos, but What's App is dropping support for iOS 8... That is fucking ancient. I assumed that the Android version was comparably ancient. Yeah I think it was froyo that they dropped support for. Which is from like 2009.

  @Dashrender said in Banned on VitalPBX forum?: @JasGot said in Banned on VitalPBX forum?: @Dashrender said in Banned on VitalPBX forum?: sucks.. what is call flip option? It is a variation of blind transfer. Example scenario: You are speaking on the phone at your desk and you need to leave the building. You press a soft key on your desk phone and your smartphone starts ringing. Since it was some sort of a blind transfer, when you answer the call on your smart phone, the call becomes live on the smartphone and disconnects from the desk phone. the person on the other end of the call does not hear any hold music or tones during the flip. and that's different from a blind transfer how? I should have asked the difference between flip and call forwarding?

  @CCWTech a bizarre ad to run for a company that doesn't have any sort of data loss protection on their big products and who encourages their customers to run with just a shared universal password on admin accounts. Telling people that data loss is a big risk, when that would instantly drive their customers away from them, seems like a crazy gambit.

  @WrCombs said in How did you learn?: How did you learn Power-shell scripting? any books worth looking at? Looking at expanding some more, and I know Automation makes jobs way easier. This (https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/GetStartedPowerShell3/01) combined with doing tasks in PowerShell. In my opinion, as others have states, it's easier to learn via doing tasks. Added bonus is you complete a task with PowerShell or script it, then see if / how you can improve your script.
