More than 200 people with diabetes have been injured when their insulin pumps shut down unexpectedly due to a problem with a connected mobile app, the US Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
So 214 people let the battery on their (USB Rechargeable) insulin pump die and reported it to the FDA…
Then again Tandem is kind of a shitty company. They based their algorithm in part on data from insulin pumps that had been returned to the manufacture for a software update. Without consent.
Switched from an industry standard luer-lock connector to a proprietary one after purchase. Then required all supply ordering to go through their own sales department and a single manufacturer.
Camped on the design for a small portable pump they patented back in 2012 until there was a viable competitor with innovative technology.
You know what… I think I have a phone call to make :-)
At this point I’m assuming most if not all of these content deals are essentially retroactive. They already scrapped the content and found it useful enough to try and secure future use, or at least exclude competitors.
Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA....
Hum… this was one of the original reasons I signed up with them. I totally missed them dropping support. I’m not mad about it because I don’t torrent much anymore, but it’s still a pretty lame excuse.
I want all my services supporting maximum fuckery at all times as a matter of general principle.
I can’t honestly say I’ve ever had much trouble with it either. No trouble receiving files at least… there wasn’t much outbound traffic, but that could just have been a lack of interest :-)
I’m happy with Mulvad’s service and now that the initial shock and indignation is wearing off I’ll probably stick with them.
Besides I read about their new traffic obfuscation and I’ve got to give that a try. We need proactive innovation like that, now more than ever.
I’m Canadian and we have our own issues with far right nutjobs but I’ve heard the phrase “Project 2025” thrown around and the little I’ve seen about it frightens me. I don’t follow the news for the sake my mental health but could someone explain it in depth? What kind of a shit show are we looking at? Unfortunately...
Okay, it probably doesn’t really qualify because it’s; new, high-budget, directed by Zac Snyder, etc. But hear me out. This hot mess starts with space-nazis vs space-vikings, takes a turn through Star Wars, Oceans Eleven, space-Rome, and a few tropes that defy easy space-hyphenation....
Hahahaha I would also agree with this. One of my friends said it was originally pitched as a Star Wars film and Lucas rejected it… not sure if that’s true, but it’s 100% believable.
I think it’s hard to find a modern movie that really has that special charm. There are few hidden gems that don’t cater to some specific fetish. “Independent” means a modest 20 million dollar budget… I’m not a huge fan of the made to be campy genre — Zombeavers was good though.
They definitely never picked a lane with any of there design language. It seemed like someone just went though and made a list of all the stuff they thought was cool form the last 20 years. In one scene you have people fighting with laser rifles, laser swords, and regular axes.
Somewhere in the second half of production they decide that you really have no reason to care about anyone, so everyone gets a full 5-10 min backstory all back-to-back. Large portions of the plots could be randomly replaced without significantly altering the flow of the movie… and it does briefly feature muscular shirtless men riding huge eagles. Turn down the terrible plot and add some prog-rock and you’ve got a rock opera? ;-)
I think it would make a decent rifftrax movie, it’s got enough nonsense and long dramatic pauses. But yeah, I certainly wouldn’t put it one with a bunch of friends more than once… and a proper B movie keeps giving :-)
I’m going for a proper classic next time. Anyone seen Class of 1999?
I’m going to have to watch an interview someday… some measure of excess ego is required to be a Hollywood director, but doing anything with this other than just cashing the paycheck seems wholly delusional ;-)
I’m still not entirely convinced people don’t join just so they can be dicks with impunity and collect a top tier salary/benefits package… I know there are good people too, but it’s hard to believe in the system as a whole lately.
But simply blaming capitalism is shortsighted. Which isn’t what you said, but I feel it’s worth stating. Incomplete theories lead to imperfect solutions and policing in this country is in desperate need of reforms.
They just killed my nest cameras, but the thermostat is still supported. I was planning on replacing it with an ecobee this year just because API access is kind of a pain but this is giving me some second thoughts.
