    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Guys, just a few points before I unsubscribe this thread again: 1. You can't use observational data (unblinded, not randomized) to determine effectiveness of a drug. That's not how it works. First comes basic phase I safety and metabolic testing. Then comes scale up and dose...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Ivermectin appears harmless (despite some early concerns about it in people that actually have covid) but taking it instead of proper prophylaxis or treatment would lead to harm. Several big studies (RCTs) are due to drop data soon which will give us the final word, really, one way or the...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Hey guys, Thanks for thinking of me. The problem is that it's observational, not blinded/randomized. Basically, it says that people who volunteered to take ivermectin did better than those who didn't volunteer to do so. Even with the efforts to align PSM, the bottom line is that you can't...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    @bigredfish, thanks for the link to the UK report your are citing. The main problem is that you are looking at the wrong table from which to draw conclusions. Of course, most deaths in the UK are among vaccinated persons... most of the UK (over 90%) is vaccinated and most non-vaccinated persons...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I'm for making it available to those under 5. I don't think the evidence supports a requirement for kids under 5 to be vaccinated, and there's no push to do this. If I were a parent of a toddler in preschool/daycare, and had someone in the house who was immunocompromised or had other major risk...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Hi @bigredfish I hope you've been well. I have not been following this thread for over a year but since you tagged me so I would see your note next time I logged in, I took a look at your posts as quoted above. While I won't be rejoining this thread generally, I'm happy to reply since you asked...

    Reaction to Shingles vaccine

    @David L Here's the Shingrix official website describing it's mode of action: https://shingrixhcp.com/efficacy-safety/mechanism-of-action/ What's in the vaccine is a recombinant protein for part of the virus surface antigen, along with an adjuvant that makes it easier for the human immune...

    Question about blinding a camera

    If it were me, I would just ignore their cameras and live well. Unless you are dealing crack in sight of their cameras, or some other thing that can be used against you, it's a fool's errand to try to do anything about it. If they won't listen to reason, and you can't realistically block the...

    Pros And Cons On The New 5G Phones

    One little known issue with the 2G and in some places 3G shutdown is that many devices that come with "free data" will no longer work. Not talking phones and tablets here. I'm talking about older Kindles that used cellular to download books from anywhere, or devices like CPAP machines that...

    Doing something wrong with OpenVPN client on Windows... but works on Android. Help please.

    So I'm home now and gave it a whirl. I made the changes Mike mentioned above and exported a new .ovpn file. Tried it on another computer not messed with at all before (it's actually my Win 11 test platform), using my phone wifi hotspot as an external internet source. Worked fine on the first go...

    Doing something wrong with OpenVPN client on Windows... but works on Android. Help please.

    Oh, I tried one last "simple thing" and sort of fixed it. I figured the problem was that there was a gateway configuration problem or conflict. So I went into the TAP adapter and manually configured a gateway (it was blank). It objected a few times, asking me to confirm the gateway...

    Doing something wrong with OpenVPN client on Windows... but works on Android. Help please.

    So, in some spare time this evening while still traveling, I logged onto the router and re-exported a new .ovpn file, and tried that on my laptop. No dice, same problems. Anything more than this would risk screwing up the more critical stuff that's actually working on my phone, so I'm not going...

    Can't ping anything on my LAN. I've tried using explicit IP addresses as well as PC names. Everything times out. Here's an example. Note that my client PC I'm using is the 192.168.1.35 address. Pinging 192.168.1.3 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.1.35: Destination host unreachable...

    Doing something wrong with OpenVPN client on Windows... but works on Android. Help please.

    Good thought, but my phone which is also connected to the wifi here at this apartment, is connecting fine to my home LAN through OpenVPN. It's uncanny how smooth it is on my phone. Also, I tried disconnecting my laptop from the apartment wifi, and connected instead to my LTE-based mobile data...

    Doing something wrong with OpenVPN client on Windows... but works on Android. Help please.

    Good questions guys. Let me get into some more detail to answer them. So, the OpenVPN server is on the Asus router itself. It's configured as follows: The above is a screen capture I did on my phone; using the OpenVPN Android App I was able to connect to the LAN and log into the router to...

    Doing something wrong with OpenVPN client on Windows... but works on Android. Help please.

    Hi folks, When I switched out my older Asus router for the newer one, I also changed from PTPP VPN Server to allow remote connections, to the OpenVPN Server implementation. I set up the client on my phone, and all was well. Now I'm trying to connect in via my laptop (while I'm out of town), and...

    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    Yeah, understood. I was shocked when I entered the code expecting to be recognized as Pro and then Enterprise popped up. [emoji846] Usually KMS is involved in distribution for Enterprise. Frankly, this was a pair of dodgy licenses I bought on Ebay for a few $; these are usually Pro extras...

    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    I've wondered this. It didn't give me any grief about secure boot or TPM or processor specs. To be fair, the Inspiron comes with some level of secure boot and some level of TPM enabled, but I'm not sure what version. I've heard that some folks installing from the .iso (which (I can't seem to...

    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    After some fussing around and inability to find the Win11 dev .iso file for a clean installation (despite being in the Insider dev channel) I eventually just wiped an i5-6400 Inspiron that has been idle for a while. Put win10 pro on it, logged into the dev insider on it, and it quickly...

    Hey guys, is there some trick to getting the Windows 11 dev build iso to show up on the MS Insider page?

    Will Windows 11 Make Windows an even more corroborated mess?

    I haven't installed it yet on anything, but my experience is a fresh Windows install is always pretty snappy. Then as weeks and months wear on it gets cluttered and slower and laggier. But we shall see. This weekend I may try installing on an older system (fourth or sixth gen Intel) by...
