  • The scientists were ejected for handing out copies of an April editorial—published in the ADA’s own journal Diabetes Care—that sharply criticizes the Trump administration for the damage and destruction it’s wreaking on biomedical research. The five scientists included Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington, who is the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care and a co-author of the editorial. It also included former ADA President Desmond Schatz of the University of Florida.

    Whatta buncha maroons. Just for that I’m not gonna get the diabeetus.



  • The validity of the “Assembled in the USA” markings aside, the big question for many is why can’t a smartphone be made in the US? Again, there are lots of reasons but the big ones are the absence of the necessary manufacturing base, the lack of expertise in the labour pool, and cost. Bringing any part of the production line to the US, even the simpler non-electronic components like the chassis and the back cover, would put upward pressure on the price of the final product.

    And say what you will about the T1, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Trump Mobile aren’t gouging their fanbase…not yet anyway. Against all expectations, the T1 is actually well priced when compared to the equivalently specced 512GB U24 Pro, and the only things you give up are the 60W fast charging and your dignity.

















  • Came to comment the same.

    Getting in touch with Creative was a frustrating process.

    They do not have any security contacts. In fact, I wasn’t even able to find regular contacts that wasn’t just a support form on their website. I tried (two times) to get in contact with them via the web form before giving up and contacting SingCERT to act as an intermediary, hoping they would have better luck reaching Creative.

    Initially, SingCERT didn’t seem to be able to get in contact with Creative either. It took Creative nearly two months to respond to SingCERT. Unfortunately, their response was that “they do not consider this to be a vulnerability, as it does not present a cybersecurity risk”. I don’t know how they reached this conclusion, but it became clear that Creative had no interest in responding to or addressing this issue.

    That and it has a microphone built in.
