I work at a hospital there are so many items that cost like 15k that do most simplest tasks. For example this pill counter which uses computer vision of some sort to count pills costs literally 2k to 10k.Can any anons tell me how they're getting away with such outsourcing price gouging
>>107616642Medical insurance is required by law for employers who have over 50 employees under the ACA. The federal penalties for going without insurance as an individual was only removed as recently as 2019.Certain states like California still punish you if you don’t have insurance however.
>>107617237>Government needs to be the only payer, put a gun to their head, and say>NO I'M NOT PAYING $15 FOR THE TYLENOLThat's literally what some European countries do. They set price ceilings with major pharma companies abroad for certain categories of drugs. If no pharmaceutical company wants to cater at or below those ceilings, then government gives free reign for domestic companies to reverse engineer equivalents and push them to market.This has resulted in pharmas forming cartels where particular expensive drug category A is only produced by company A at max price, whereas expensive drug category B is only produced by company B and ne'er shall the two meet. And since they're not agreeing on a price level for the same category of product, this legally isn't cartel pricing and cannot be fixed through legal means. ... yet, anyway. Something has been brewing at the EU level for this, for the past few years.
>>107619302that pill counter still needs a jeet operator, it's purpose isn't to replace human operators you're giving 3k tools to your 12 hour jeet
>>107616147It's because medical equipment needs to undergo a shitload of certifications to get approval to be sold as medical equipment. Just a handful of companies want to deal with that amount of retarded red tape, therefore it's just a handful of companies offering equipment like that. Therefore they don't sell at a price the equipment is worth but at a price they can get away with.

>>107626653I do agree shit like needing to recompile to change basic parameters and especially the lack of any documentation for the sake of 'muh minimalism' is just fucking retarded. for shit like dwm especially its certainly functional but only achieves a low sloc cause it relies on x11 to do the heavy lifting. Personally I like keeping my software super simple with only my config compiled in but instead of forcing that on everyone and making them use fucking patches (LMAO) to customize anything, you can just design the software to be modular (the whole point of the unix philosophy). If I want for instance use a config file that gets evaluated on launch, that can be enabled when I first compile the package and then I never have to worry about it again, or if I don't I can just set that to false when I initially compile it. This naturally makes your software a lot more extendable too
>>107626289You can bind anything in tmux, you need to debug your terminal to find out what is actually being sent

Browsers. Firefox is okay, but its recent decisions make me want to switch. I use Linux, which gives me a bit more variety.

>EVERYONE MOVE TO LINUX! LINUX IS THE SAVING GRACE!>Normies give advice and shill out thousands of views to videos saying how "Good" and how "Easy" it is >Thousands of PC's are gonna get fucked as normies try to attempt to switch, fucking up at certain points during it and blaming it all on Windows as they have to build a new one >And yet, normies eat it up thinking they are "winning." What a fucking joke, normies will eat anything you give at them if you try hard enough. Yes, Linux is fucking amazing, but an average low-IQ faggot doesn't even know how to code correctly. And the ones that do love to fucking gatekeep to keep normies OUT.
>>107613571In all fairness Windows does freak out when you try and get rid of it. Fucker hid bitlocker on me, flagged key grabbing software as a virus, and broke itself when I tried to dual boot.Glad I'm rid of the trash.
>>107613571People can hate on Linux all they want, but Windows already tries to control what you can and can't do. I can't imagine they'll use their agentic bullshit to help the user instead of tightening their control.
>>107613571You don't need to know how to code to install Linux.
>>107623566for me? I have enough neuroplasticity to unlearn Windows mind rape. computers should be fun.
>>107615444windows legitimately does just get gradually slow, even in controlled environments with enterprise SKUs and pretty much no bloatware. It becomes noticeable around the 3 year mark in my experience.I'm completely speculating but it might be related to accumulating updates and bloated logs, indexes, etc. Because This is like a myth to a lot of normies, including my coworkers. They just assume that old = slow. I reimaged a bunch of OptiPlex 7080s and Latitude 5520s at work and the difference was insanely noticeable. Like a brand new computer again and don't even really need to be upgraded.
