  2. US Secret Service: 5 reasons to turn off your cell phone regularly 1/22/2023, 4:13:40 PM For most people, the mobile phone has become an indispensable companion in everyday life. There are many good reasons to switch it off every now and then. For most people, the mobile phone has become an indispensable companion in everyday life. There are many good reasons to switch it off every now and then. It doesn't matter whether it's an Apple iPhone or an Android cell phone: the handy device has long been used not just for communication, but as a multimedia station. No wonder most people are reluctant to do without their cell phones. But continuous operation can not only have negative effects on the user, but also on the environment and the cell phone itself. We have put together five reasons why it is worth turning off your cell phone more often. 1) Increased security of sensitive data on mobile When a new update is installed on the iPhone or Android device, it automatically restarts the system. For this reason, too, the mobile phone should be switched off completely at least once a week in order to increase the security of your data. Security updates can be updated by restarting the system, which means that the user can protect his sensitive data against hacker attacks, as reported by the online portal Chip. According to the portal, a restart closes important security gaps. This is probably one of the reasons why the US secret service NSA recently recommended its employees to switch off their cell phones at least for a short period of time every week. 2) Turn off cell phone: Longer battery life and better performance If the mobile phone is switched off more often, this can also have a positive effect on the life of the battery. Not only does it consume unnecessary energy, especially at night. If a mobile phone is connected to the mains in switched-off mode, the battery is charged more evenly since no applications are running in the background. This contributes to longer performance and longer battery life in general... 3) Switching off the cell phone also has some advantages in terms of sustainability ... Shutting down not only reduces the load on the battery, but also on all the components installed in the iPhone or Android cell phone. A lower load therefore contributes to a longer service life for the mobile phone, which is resource-saving and environmentally friendly. 4) Turning off regularly ensures more stable mobile phone operation If the iPhone or Android cell phone is used for a long time, the applications installed on the device collect information in the cache memory, which makes the cell phone slower over time. According to Chip, switching off the cell phone at this point offers a good opportunity to get rid of this legacy and increase the speed of the device. Another positive side effect: By switching off the cell phone, minor errors in the apps and the system are corrected, which means that they run faster when restarted. 5) A switched off mobile phone has a positive effect on health Radiation is always an issue when it comes to mobile phones, albeit a controversial one. In order to protect yourself from potential radiation, it is advisable not only to put the cell phone in flight mode, but also to switch it off completely, especially at night when the device is not needed. In addition, notification sounds and screen light can have a negative impact on our sleep quality. Another positive side effect: a break from the feeling of being constantly available, which can reduce the stress level in everyday life. So if the user gives his cell phone a rest now and again, it will benefit from a multitude of advantages in the long run: * security * battery life * sustainability * stability * health * If the mobile phone is even switched off every night, this can permanently contribute to significantly increasing the service life of the mobile phone and improving the quality of sleep.

  3. Doctors’ representatives are pushing for the end of the mask requirement in practices 1/23/2023, 7:32:00 AM The corona situation is easing – hospitals are seeing fewer intensive care patients, and restrictions are falling in many places. Medical associations are now demanding that employees in practices should no longer have to wear masks. In Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, employees in medical practices no longer have to wear mouth and nose protection from February. Now the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV) and the German General Practitioners Association as well as other industry representatives are calling for an end to the corona mask requirement in practices in the remaining federal states. "It is logical to lift the mask requirement in doctor's offices and other medical facilities, as Bavaria has now announced. The other federal states should follow this step," said KBV chairman Andreas Gassen to the editorial network Germany (RND). »The pandemic situation is over.« The deputy federal chair of the general practitioners' association, Nicola Buhlinger-Göpfarth, told the RND: "In our view, there is no need for the legislature to wear a mask in medical practices." The practices should decide this independently. Last Thursday, Bavaria announced that it would lift the state mask requirement for employees in medical practices and other outpatient medical facilities from February 1st. Baden-Württemberg followed suit on Friday. Due to federal infection protection regulations, on the other hand, the FFP2 mask requirement will remain in clinics and care facilities, as well as for patients and visitors to medical practices - according to the current status until April 7th. Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) rejects a quick end to the mask requirement in the healthcare sector. He justifies this with the protection of particularly vulnerable people. Significantly fewer pandemic patients in hospitals Meanwhile, a trend reversal is emerging in German hospitals in view of the wave of respiratory diseases and the workload of the staff. Since the beginning of January, the number of corona patients in the intensive care units has “reduced from around 1,500 to less than 800 today – i.e. almost halved,” said the Vice President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI), Gernot Marx, the RND. "Corona is no longer a problem in the intensive care units." In addition, the number of daily new admissions is falling steadily. This is a "very positive development," said Marx. Now “the many postponed, plannable operations from December” could be made up for. At the moment, the clinic staff "doesn't have to think every day about how we can still ensure patient care," said Marx. According to the German Hospital Society (DKG), occupancy is also decreasing in the other wards. "Significantly falling occupancy numbers" would be recorded for those who tested positive for the corona virus, said DGK CEO Gerald Gass to the RND. The number of sick employees is also declining, “so that the personnel situation is slowly improving”. col/dpa/AFP Source: spiegel Here: https://newsrnd.com/news/2023-01-23-corona-virus--doctors’-representatives-are-pushing-for-the-end-of-the-mask-requirement-in-practices.HylYycjsij.html

Referring to the previous discussion on fonts visibility in chrome, in parallel with the Blacker Text extension, you can also use Page Font Bolder, it works very good (Size 6.76KiB only): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-font-bolder/nnokmbbdobieckndjabadnfkkcliakja/related?hl=en - or bold your zoom under Chrome settings page... -and (not related): To increase security in general, I added: Domain whitelist (Size 12.3KiB yeah! so almost no memory footprint...), Offered by Dusan Halicky : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/domain-whitelist/pdfmaijcdceohdpbclfdidiobpfpdkda?hl=en With whitelist AND blacklist too, it's able to stop 3rd party domain (so viral..) invisibly cached in an link... - so you're sure to not get malware after click on something innocent-looking... (I've checked it out!). "Domain whitelist (DW) is worlds smallest interactive ad blocker. It blocks all HTTP requests. If you want to see some website, you must explicitly allow its domain (in popup window displayed when you click on DW button)." "Tip: you can use "*." to allow subdomains e.g. " *.googlevideo.com" for youtube"

  16. ChatGPT just passed a Wharton MBA exam NTB Staff··Jan 22, 2023 · NottheBee.com Because of course it did. Professor Christian Terwiesch at University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton School of Business tested ChatGPT this week by running it through the final exam of a typical MBA core course, Operations Management. And yes, the A.I. technology which is still in its infancy "would have received a B to B- grade on the exam,"according to the prof, who added that our future tech overlord "does an amazing job at basic operations management and process analysis questions including those that are based on case studies." Here's his whole research paper if you're interested. This technology is still brand new and it's outperforming humans on Wharton MBA exams. Can you imagine what it will be capable of in 5 or 10 years? HERE: https://notthebee.com/article/chatgpt-passed-a-wharton-mba-exam
