Our hotel was in FiDi, but I had issues even in Midtown. I have a brother in Harlem, and when I mentioned it to him, he was not surprised.
We come up to visit our daughter pretty regularly. I usually don’t have issues when I go to NYC, just these past two times when it was downright painful. 
I would have a love for it to be a cold, but I have never had colds with no other symptoms than burning lungs when I am walking down the street in Manhattan.
Two, actually. And they were almost a year apart. And it didn’t happen in Brooklyn, only in Manhattan.
I’m obviously not discrediting the study, only stating that I didn’t notice a difference. Clearly 20% cleaner is not enough for me. 
Normally I’d agree with you, but I’ve been traveling to NYC once or twice a year for the past 8 years, was there for 5 days, and only had issues on the most recent trips.
I sure didn’t notice it. My trip to NYC over Thanksgiving week left me with sore and painful lungs nearly every day I was there.
And now imagine how that feels for people who don’t have direct access to the press, you fucking cunt.
America First?
They want to keep it because it’s a double recursive acronym, GNU Image Manipulation Program, where “GNU” translates to “GNU’s Not UNIX.”
So clever.
It’s 2026. Can we please change the name to something NOT juvenile?
Fuck Israel. The Netanyahu regime is genocidal and needs to be crushed.
This is just e-waste. Please don’t buy this. The resolution is 480p. Spend a few dollars more and get something you will actually KEEP.
This man is a hero. We should all be doing this.
My very first PC (though not my first computer) was a white box 386SX running at a lofty 16MHz with 4MB of RAM and a 40MB HDD. The motherboard (which I still have) from an unknown manufacturer.
That single computer spawned a hobby and an eventual 28-year career in IT hardware and operating systems.
SO MUCH WINNING.
If you enter it in at boot time it’s not permanent, so it’ll either work or it won’t, but it shouldn’t break anything.
Mine is ‘HoloNet’, but it’s kind of a deep cut unless you’re really into Star Wars.
So it looks like the touchpad problem is a known issue with that particular model. A web search turned up an Arch Linux forum post from 2017 with the same issue. Unfortunately, there was no solution posted.
Your touchpad shows up as a PS/2 device, right? I have a ThinkPad A475 with a PS/2 trackpad that won’t function at all in Linux unless I add i8042.reset as a GRUB argument.
Maybe see if that helps?
Also, large flash drives (128GB, 256GB) tend to be a LOT faster than small ones. And as the drive nears it’s capacity, write speeds will start to slow down dramatically.
How old is the drive and how is it formatted? You’re gonna want ExFAT for the best performance with large files.
Try wiping the drive, creating a new GPT partition table and formatting with ExFAT. If that doesn’t improve performance, then it may just be the flash drive. I find that the drives that advertise their speeds tend to be faster than the drives that don’t, and I get the BEST performance from SSDs. I now have a pile of old flash drives that I no longer use because they are so slow.
Yes. Use faster USB drives. If your computer has USB3 ports, buy USB3-specific flash drives.
Better yet, skip flash drives altogether and get a compact USB SSD. They come is the same small sizes as a flash drive and are MUCH faster.
Found him! No spoiler needed!
