Technology@lemmy.world•HP's ink-blocking firmware may violate new global sustainability rulesEnglish
3·5 days agoI know that they are fine - but i haven’t had the need for color prints for ages now outside of 2 occasions where i needed like 5 copies each. For myself i prefer digital only either way. Just in case i really need something like return tickets a b&w printer is enough.
The B&W one costs under 100€, the cheapest brother color laser 300€; the 200€ difference should last decades in the print shop, and the toner cartridges are a lot cheaper for b&w only.

5·5 days agoMe too - the print shop can deal with the issues, i have no problem paying a little extra for not having the headache of troubleshooting printer crap. Although I might get myself a B/W Brother printer for the everyday stuff - my ex sadly got my old one.

2·5 days agoThat was actually accounted for by the study. The study was looking for differences in reporting between Germany and the US and if/how they are relevant

0·7 days agoI would take that with a grain of salt, since the study here says it only deals with death inside of the hospital (which is what is expected of a system encouraging the individual to flee the expensive place as soon as possible):
Considering the markedly lower length of stay in U.S. hospitals, it seems likely that more deaths following AMI occur after hospital discharge in the U.S., compared to Germany. This assumption is supported by recent OECD publications, which also report U.S. 30-day AMI mortality based on linked data. This figure was at 9.3% in the year 2020, compared to 4.9% when based on unlinked data. For Germany, national 30-day AMI mortality figures based on linked data are not available to date. In other industrialized countries reporting both figures, the difference between mortality based on unlinked data and mortality based on linked data was not as pronounced as in the U.S. (e.g., 5.6% vs. 7.2% in France, 6.5% vs. 7.1% in Spain)
In addition, the median age of patients is quite a lot higher, and as we all know, we all die at some time. If i am in my 50s and have a heart attack, sign me up for a German hospital 100% of the time, at least i am not bankrupted afterwards if i survive.

2·18 days agoThat might introduce more issues than help. If high speed particles impact your shielding, you might get a “particle shower” from the impact on your electronics. Radiation Hardening is part of the design of the chips - mainly creating less dense structures with bigger transistors, because they don’t flip as easily as the very small gates on a H200. That’s also the reason why most space based computers have the processing power of a system around 2005.

24·19 days agoThis thing works self-contained and off grid - using materials that have huge surfaces to condense the water. It is mentioned that there are powered versions too, but the principle itself does not need extra power, the Sun drives the condensation.

6·20 days agoWanted to say that - Random shit does happen, even to the most stable systems. There’s a cutoff in consumer hardware where selecting for more stability simply isn’t worth the cost such as radiation hardening. Best you can do is ECC Ram.
