  • I suspect that there is “palm check” turned on for your touchpad. This is designed to keep you from accidentally moving/clicking the touchpad by brushing it with your palm while you are typing.

    Look for a “palm check”, “palm rejection”, or “disable touchpad when typing” setting in your touchpad utility. As far as I know, these are all roughly the same thing.




  • I think this is helpful context from the actual report (linked at the top of the WaPo article):

    In 2022, half as many (47%) of adolescent girls and young women acquired HIV as in 2010. Even with this decline, we are not on track to meet our 2030 target to end new HIV infections among adolescent girls and young women.

    The global sex-distribution of new HIV infections among adolescents is driven largely by sub-Saharan Africa, which carries the overwhelming global burden of HIV. In 2022, 33% of older adolescents aged 15-19 years newly infected with HIV lived outside of the region. In the Middle East and North Africa region, the number of young people living with HIV has increased by 13% since 2010. In East Asia and the Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean, two thirds of new adolescent infections, age 10-19 years, occur in boys. Stigma, discrimination, societal inequalities and violence sabotage the efforts of adolescents and young people to protect themselves against HIV and other health threats. Young key populations are especially vulnerable.



  • As a layman, this doesn’t sound any different than what my (vague) picture of what the “great firewall” already is. My assumption is that the great firewall is generally about:

    -preventing those inside China from access unapproved content from outside

    -preventing those outside China from accessing unapproved content from inside China

    -monitoring and controlling content inside China

    Can anyone speak to how this could be notably different than what China has already been doing in that realm? Or correct my understanding of what we believe China already has in place?
