- Comment on Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton 1 month ago:
This depends on the area of medical device. I work in medical device but totally different from this, mine get implanted into your body.
-
I doubt many people have the knowledge to to truly troubleshoot our devices beyond what the doctor is allowed to do. We need a bunch of expensive and specialized hardware to troubleshoot.
-
We are legally required to investigate and report any complaints(www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/…/search.cfm) . If we don’t get the complaint we can’t investigate and report it.
-
If a certain number(honestly I don’t know the specific number) of complaints occur we are legally required to create a corrective action to help the patients immediately (or as soon as possible) and a preventive action to ensure it doesn’t effect other patients. If a person has an issue and “repaired” it themselves they don’t get counted in this and as such could cause more patients to suffer.
While I agree with right to repair I think certain things should be exempt. That said then there should be a requirement of the manufacturer to ivestigate/repair the equipment.

- Comment on Looking for advice on PC build for programming 2 months ago:
No, I replace some of them, Whatever needs it’s. For example this is actually a peripheral year so my monitors are good, my desk is good, I’m 50/50 on my chair but I’m planning to replace my speakers.

- Comment on Looking for advice on PC build for programming 2 months ago:
I tend to recommend a 3 year cycle. Year 1 upgrade peripherals (speakers, monitors, maybe chair, keyboard, mouse etc) year 2. Upgrade video card and hard drives. year 3. Upgrade motherboard, ram and cpu. Year 4 repeat year 1
With this you can you can do 95% of the latest stuff with “good” stuff (think XX70 cards rather then 80 or 90 series) since you are never that outdated on any portion.
- Comment on So is the global IT crash fixed yet? 3 months ago:
Hold up… You thought maybe you downloaded malware (which in this case that was not the only cause) so you took it upon yourself to reinstall windows on a company issued laptop?
-
Why are you trying to fix it? Submit It ticket and it’s their problem.
-
If you suspect malware alert it security immediately. Many malware act as a gateway to lock other systems. Yes you might get in trouble but I’d rather be yelled at for downloading something then yelled at for infecting my company servers will ransomware/malware.
-
Atleast in my company a computer connecting without a company supplied image of windows will be denied. Completely understand you not connecting to the internet.
-
This problem was not caused by you but could of been… Take this as a lesson to be more proactive in the future.

- Comment on How do Texas residents afford electricity? 4 months ago:
In the apartment I just moved out of, even after several complaints I had summer electric bills $600+ and it was still hot…night before I moved it was 91 outside and 89 inside. So far my new apartment is better but haven’t seen any electric bills yet

- Comment on Either way, I'm getting super drunk. 6 months ago:
Another fun similar idea is drunk chess. Each piece has a value(for example pawns is 1), there are tables you can look up it’s standard in chess. Each piece you take, you take its value in shots(highly recommend shots of beer). There are strategies this brings up. For example your opponent hangs a queen in early game, you can take it but now you would need to 6 shots making you likely to mess up the late game.
- Comment on xkcd #2932: Driving PSA 6 months ago:
So one of the reasons I’m moving is to get away from this. I have this intersection by my apartment. A few hundred feet behind the assassin is a highway intersection, and the road the victim is coming from has 4 huge apartment complexes.
There is no light. Making a left there(which leads to a outdoor mall) during rush hour requires atleast 3 virgin sacrifices…

Ok, I’m just curious, do you have a source for that soil antidepressants statement? Not being argumentative, legit want to read the source.

Yes, and those are the ones I make.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip 6 months ago:
See the corroding part scares me. Actual electrodes planted in the brain should never corrode. The company I work for actually makes brain implants(no, not nueralink) so I know it’s possible.
That stuff is EXPENSIVE though … So he must of cheaped out with a cheaper metal and that’s why it corroded.

- Comment on Why is the current temperature sometimes lower than today's low temperature? For example right now it 13F with a predicated low today of 16F! 10 months ago:
I am from the USA and I agree with the other poster that our Healthcare is crap. That said it annoying to see people bring stuff like that up in topics completely unrelated. Especially it’s not like we have a choice where we were born and most of us only have limited abilities to change Healthcare system through votes.
It would be like saying “what’s the u in colour for? U are never getting back your plundered treasures we stole?” to somebody in England asking about learning to paint.

true but shouldn’t the low be updated with current observations?

That makes sense since my station is probably an international airport also.

- Comment on We're all comparing our insides to everyone's outsides. 10 months ago:
I think what they are going for is you know all your secrets and insecurities. You might know what you look like before make up, or as you decompress from a hard day of work. You might wear baggy shirt to cover a small belly. You might wear flowing dresses because you don’t like your ass.
You compare that to people who wear yoga pants because they are proud of their ass. Or people who spent 45 minutes doing their hair and makeup that morning. You might see a guy with his shirt off because he spent hours in the gym working on his abs.
You know how you act/look your worst at home alone. You compare to how others look when they are out in public and dressed to impress.
- Comment on Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million PCs to landfills: Report - CNA 10 months ago:
In this case I do partially agree with it. They are for medical implants and since the expected lifetime of the device is 10 years we need to be able to support them for 10 years after the last surgery.
If the dog eats your controller which allows you to turn on and off your device we need to be able to sell you a new controller and NOT tell you “sorry, you need to spend several hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills to replace the device and go through a traumatic surgery to install it”
Now optimally my company would make a modern program that duplicates the technology but is compatible with modern computers but since are no longer making money on these old devices they don’t want to invest the time and money. So yeah…
