Yeah calibre is amazing, and also integrates anti-drm plugins nicely. Recently I’ve been reading more and more on my phone so file formats don’t matter anymore, but it’s still a great software just for managing your ebook archive.
As a mobile reader I can also really recommend ReadEra (free and ad free), they do have a premium version, but all that adds is synchronize books via cloud storage to other devices and sync reading progress.
I thought that’s building code, literally never seen any other outlets in the UK, as well as in Malaysia where they adopted the system. Though why it is or became code, I’ve no idea.
Yeah same problem. Worst were CRT monitors or old tube-TVs, they made a constant sound quite like a tinnitus.
Leaving whatsapp is neigh on impossible in someone countries, unfortunately.
Looks like Michael Jackson with lip implants.
I always thought hearing electricity is normal, up until I realized most people can’t do that. Never been on antidepressants or anything, that’s my normal state of consciousness.
Surprise surprise, I’m extremely sensitive to all kinds of noise.
You overestimate how many people use threads. It’s mostly corporate accounts that post but don’t use the platform, and a bunch of bros that click ads to begin with.
Windows can do that, but opens archives as folders and will run executables by extracting them to a temp folder without dependencies. And the unpack dialogue is cumbersome, with 7zip you get a simple right click -> extract here / to folder dialogue, that somehow still is too much to ask of the main OS.
Those are the free ones I use very frequently at least, I’m sure there’s more.
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.
Nobody but a handful of nerds uses it though. You won’t get your grandparents and less tech literate friends to leave whatsapp in droves, simple as that.
