Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin grabbed the reins Tuesday by banning COVID-19 vaccination "passports" and mandatory COVID-19 testing in the state while Gov. Brad Little was away on travel. She also sought information on deploying the National Guard to the Texas border.

Gov. Little was, in fact, in Texas on Tuesday, meeting with nine other Republican governors regarding the Biden administration's handling of border issues.

"I am in Texas performing my duties as the duly elected Governor of Idaho, and I have not authorized the Lt. Governor to act on my behalf," Little said in a statement late Tuesday. "I will be rescinding and reversing any actions taken by the Lt. Governor when I return."

WHO recommends malaria vaccine for use in children

While the efficacy is under 50 percent, it should still save numerous lives.

On Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a first: it was recommending a vaccine against malaria for administration to children. The decision follows a program started in 2019 in three African countries, which eventually saw over 800,000 children vaccinated.

The vaccine itself is called RTS,S/AS01, or Mosquirix, and it checks all the boxes for conspiracy theorists, having been developed by a large pharmaceutical company (GlaxoSmithKline) with support from the Gates Foundation. The vaccine is based on proteins found on the surface of the most common malarial parasite, and it requires four doses starting when children are less than a year old. Development of the vaccine started in 1987, and testing of its efficacy dates back to 2014. With over 2.3 million doses administered, it has a solid safety profile, and it has shown an efficacy between 30 and 50 percent in different trials.

That may not seem all that great, especially compared to the numbers we've all watched many of the COVID-19 vaccines produced. But the WHO estimates that over a quarter-million children under the age of 5 die of malaria every year in Africa alone, with many others falling seriously ill. As such, even a 30 percent efficacy can have a substantial impact.

Lilbits: Microsoft explains how to bypass Windows 11 TPM requirement

Microsoft set some pretty strict system requirements for Windows 11. You don’t necessarily need a super-powerful computer, but you do need one with an Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm processor released within the past few years, support for Secure Boot, and Trusted Platform Module 2.0.

Microsoft set some pretty strict system requirements for Windows 11. You don’t necessarily need a super-powerful computer, but you do need one with an Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm processor released within the past few years, support for Secure Boot, and Trusted Platform Module 2.0.

Want to install Windows 11 on a system that doesn’t meet those requirements? Microsoft doesn’t really encourage you to do that, but folks have been finding workarounds since before Windows 11 officially launched this week. So the company seems to have figured that if people are going to do it anyway, it might be worth explaining how to do it with the least chance of messing up your computer – you can now find the registry hack that will let you install Windows 11 on some unsupported computers in a Microsoft Support page.

Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.

Microsoft shares Windows 11 TPM check bypass for unsupported PCs [Bleeping Computer]

Microsoft says out that while you can install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware this way, that doesn’t necessarily mean you should. According to the company, users who do so “should be comfortable assuming the risk of running into compatibility issues,” and that “your device might malfunction due to these compatibility or other issues.” And while you can install Windows 11, Microsoft won’t guarantee that you’ll be able to receive operating system updates, including security updates. 

There’s also always some risk that you’ll break something when you start editing the Windows registry. And you’ll also need a system with at least TPM 1.2 to use the registry hack. Don’t have that? Then Bleeping Computer points out there’s an unofficial script that will bypass all TPM checks when running the Windows 11 installer.
