First thing I look at is who sponsored a given study, then usually develop prejudices from there.

I do the same not necessarily because I want to but because I lack the basic education to evaluate the merits of most scientific studies. [Irrelevant aside -But I could sit on a jury and make such a determination based solely on who I choose to believe.] I often believe that I am in good and ample company.
My first question: Who paid? My second question: Who benefits?

Unfortunately, it will be discredited as propaganda due to its backers. The ole follow the money rule. Heck, I do the same thing. First thing I look at is who sponsored a given study, then usually develop prejudices from there.

What does it mean that it was reviewed by Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos? Does that mean he agrees with it or he just read it?

I "think" it is more like, he read it and doesnt disagree with it. In other words, if there were any glaring flaws he would have spoken up.

What your not seeing here which can be seen with 17Track is that the package arrived in L.A. on the 9th. This package is from FT.
Expected delivery tomorrow, it's only 4 blocks away right now.

So tonight at work I acquired a 26" Vizio 1080P smart TV. I mounted it on the wall and proceeded to use it. It wasn't showing either of the two wireless connections I have here in my office (hole in the wall/broom closet) so I wired it. As soon as it got an internet connection the buttons on the side and menu on remote stopped working.
It took me a few to realize what was going on, it was doing a firmware update but not telling me.
Eventually I turned it off and waited, it updates only when off. All is back to working order now with the exception of WiFi, that still doesn't work.
Edit: I restarted it, that's how the update started updating, had to shut it down to finish. It had Netfilix before it updated, gone now, too bad as I subscribe.

I have 3 sets of Vizio WiFi speakers dwcraig1. They cost hundreds of dollars each. Two of the models has internal batteries. And the speakers are glued together like an expensive iPhone. So good luck when it comes to servicing them. They too do automatic updates from the Internet. And every update makes them worse. You can only get them to work for about 5% of the time and that is with lots of rebooting and patience. And they can out of the blue just turn themselves on and the power light is on the back where you can't see it. Last time I listened to them was back in 2019 I believe. They just sit there as decorative pieces today and are just dust magnets.

So I am I going to be the first to complain about my new mod using USB-C?
Mechlyfe Paramour SBS. Smallest of my 3 SBS', even with 21700
Whats the complaint?

I have a USB-C mod and I love it. Much faster charging, and dont have to worry about the plug being right-side up when fumbling in the dark.

I would be ok with USB-C if that is all I had. But I use mini-USB, micro-USB, Lightning, and now a few USB-C. And I say just stop with all of the different cables out there. I'm running out of room to store them all. And when I walk out the door, I need three four different cables with me. :cry:

Easiest DNA swap Ever! it basically fits right in there :) A little hard to solder on the SS Cap, & the screen holder needs to be widened a bit. Real easy with a dremel, it's plastic :) My iJoy 21700's are real tight fit in this mod :(
For anyone, who has a 75c board & is looking to build a mod? For $30 & an easy fit, this is a good way to go :)

I only have 2 C cables, I have a lot of others. They are everywhere.

You have a USBc mod? & Love it? You being the Grand Po-Ba of the DNA, I'l have to say I'm a little disappointed :( Can you elaborate on what the Be-loved mod is?

Here is the info that isn't in the manual:
When in temp mode press the fire button twice to change the wattage.
It can charge up to 1 amp rate. (just measured that)
Seems to work as it should, need to do a dry cotton test though.
Resistance matches my DNA's
