Here's are the problem with Echinacea or any other herbal supplements claiming to be effective against the SARS-Coronavirus-2 or any virus in general:
Let's assume for one that certain compound/s in Echinacea extract supplements work against the SARS-Cov-2, how can we as consumers be sure that the actual active ingredient is there? Just so you know, herbal and dietary supplements are not bound by the same legalities as real medications in the drug formulary. A pharmaceutical company developing a novel drug has to pass animal testing, Phase I(20-100 people), Phase II (100-200 people), Phase III (1000-6000 people) and Phase IV (post-marketing surveillance). If a tablet of Tylenol claims to contain 500 mg of acetaminophen, you can be sure that tablet does contain 500 mg acetaminophen. Supplement manufacturers aren't bound to the same liabilities, thus they can get away with claims of concentration and even efficacy without the same rigorous testing. The NCBI article you cited isn't even an actual research but rather, a compilation of journals whose majority of experiments are done either on cell cultures and animals. Heck, even the article itself said that the supplement industry is problematic because there are no standard extraction procedures. Almost all supplements are crude extracts and not pure, isolated compound/s. Even if a substance found in Echinacea works, you are not getting the full benefit because it is crude. What if the loading dose of a substance X found inside Echinacea requires 300 mg three times a day? Crude extracts sold as teas, capsules, tablets and tinctures isn't going to cut it. So many of these supplement manufacturers charge so much for their products, many of them actually cost more than real medicines. And by the way, naturopaths, homeopaths, and herbalists aren't covered by both private and government health insurance. This is the reason why in every bottle of dietary supplements, you'll find statements like this: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.", "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.", or 'No Approved Therapeutic Claims". The claims with Manuka Honey is quite scanty at the moment. Also, honey in general should never be given to children below 12 months because they contain Botulinum spores. Honey contains a lot of sugar and it is not good for DM patients. And it also falls to the same problem with supplements as mentioned above: concentration of the active ingredient/s and minimum inhibitory concentration. With that said, I am not against discovering new drugs from plants. In fact, I highly support research investigations of purified plant extracts as source of treatments because many of our current pharmaceutical agents are actually plant based or plant derived: Metformin derived from French Lilacs, Vinblastine and Vincristine from periwinkle, Aspirin from willow bark, Artemisinin from sweet wormwood, etc.
 
However, I believe it is dangerous and irresponsible to market something to treat a potentially lethal virus that is currently spreading like wildfire throughout the world without the sufficient evidence to back it up. Now, if an actual health institution will be able to demonstrate actual recovery of patients using purified Echinacea, or any other plant, then by all means standardize it. But right now, everyone else including me should stick to prevention by self-quarantining and washing of hands as I've said here in page 1 of this thread, and let the doctors do treating sick patients.
 

According to Forbes magazine the FBI has released a notice about  access to 130,000 Asus routers that are being sold at bargain prices.

Somebody has produced a Linux distro called Windows 12. It mimics Windows in style and feel. It claims to be better and safer than Windows 10.

I have a feeling Microsoft's lawyers are warming up their bloodhounds to track the makers of this

This is actually old news. If you watch the tv show Border Security they do this all the time to people crossing borders. Most of the time it's foreigners, who have no choice . " let us look into your device or we will refuse entrance to you". Most people comply.

I think you're right. Here is a key piece of text "ORIGINAL BOX INCLUDED, WILL SHIP RIGHT AWAY!"

Yeesh. Be nice folks, it's just the internet. Unless you were joking , then NM

Less greenhouse gases , with that power to weight ratio electric airplanes become real contenders and much cheaper energy costs.

Honda in association with California institute of technology and JPL have created a room temperature flouride ion battery . They say this battery will be more stable than lithium ion batteries with less risk of overheating.

This seems pretty cool.
Imagine a Tesla with same weight and a 2000km range.

I read this article and I wanted to see LTT's take on this product.

Researchers at Rutgers University have created techniques using WiFi broadcast  and receivers to image the interiors of baggage and backpacks.
Pretty interesting. I wonder if the folks at LMG would want to try to build their own WiFi imager.

Tom's Hardware has an article about the discovery of secret backdoors in VIA thin clients. 
 This is pretty scary, I wonder how many of our PC's have these hidden cores in their chips.https://www.tomshardware.com/news/x86-hidden-god-mode,37582.html

those pawn places generally know to the cent what their merchandise is worth. I bet they are even overpriced

Oh well , I looked but couldn't see it anywhere. 
 

Well it is porn for a certain type. Ammosexuals

A guns sole use, in the end, is killing human beings and animals.
Hunting= killing animals
Sport shooting= practicing to kill humans and Animals
Defense= Killing Humans whether justified or not.

Because YouTube is restricting the access of gun fans and demonetising their content . YouTubers that used to post their gun centric content on the site are moving their content to the venerable porn site. NPR on the controversial move.
I have a question for Linus would you welcome these fellows onto your floatplane platform?

I'll answer your question with two questions.
What is the ultimate purpose of a gun?
What does one use it for? (Excluding target shooting)
Answer those questions and you will have your answer.
