I'd rather say that rich people tend to move around more to seize opportunities, but hey if blow is your game, go for it.
Nö, aber das ändert nichts an den Fakten.
Weder Facebook noch Instagram sind Suchmaschinen, oder als Ersatz für solche gedacht. Solange bei Google & Co. noch alles gefunden wird, und nicht im Facebook Messenger oder Whatsapp die Anbieter blockiert werden (bzw. Nachrichten an solche ins digitale Nirvana umgeleitet werden), sind wir noch nicht in 1984 angenommen.
Excellent, thanks!
That's very oversimplified.
Used to live in Norway when I joined reddit, and the whole Norse lore resonated with me. Back then I had a number attached, that wasn't needed on Lemmy anymore.
If you read the reviews on the play store, it seems like people get banned left and right for posting factual truth. So much for "freedom of speech". Not like anyone expected that in the first place from a fascist echo chamber, but hey.
Does it have a dark mode? I used the website mostly which is alright, but tried the app when they announced it a couple days ago, and that was my first issue.
I can't speak for Terumo, in my books this has always been an issue, so maybe their management assessed how many casualties resulted out of poorly maintained machines and decided that enough is enough.
I've explained in a bit more details further down in the comments, the liability issue stems from the fact that people can (and do!) die due to wrongly maintained machines, and this falls back on the manufacturer, since they are the ones who trained the technician who then "certified" the machine. But given that they only do one maintenance run every half year or so, they are far from experts. So either you re-train them once a quarter (during training they work on actual machines that have been modified to throw certain errors, and give them hands-on training to fix it); or you do it yourself. Training usually takes 2 days since there's quite some theory to cover before the practical stuff; and the training usually happens in our HQ, so include 2 travel days.
If hospital staff is missing 4 days per quarter for one device maintenance workshop, imagine how this will look like if there are 10+ machines they need to be comfortable working with that follow similar re-certification routines. Those people would be gone for 40+ days over a 90 day period. If you account for weekends and time off, they'd essentially be at work for maybe 2 weeks, and someone would have to be on call during the time for other machines in need of maintenance, so you'd end up having to hire 10 times the number of technicians just so that someone is always at work if and when needed.
If it was, that reply probably wasn't coming from me. Unless I'm tripping.
As it's written in the contracts, I assure you. And yet that's not as clear as day when it ends up in court, since hospitals hardly accept liability without going through all instances. Add negative press to the mix, and you got a nice shitshow going, which is harmful for patients (going crazy for having to undergo already risky treatments with device that's now considered faulty to some degree), the hospital staff (who faces potential charges up to involuntary manslaughter), and of course also the company that suffers from negative press (reputation and possibly financially).
If all of that can be avoided if certified technicians on the company payroll can do the maintenance, I'm not sure that's all bad.
I still have the dock, but it's got a serial port, and I can't manage to connect it even with a serial to USB adapter. Doubt the software would run anyway, that was under Windows 3.11 I think? 95 at best.
