No an overly helpful suggestion maybe, but I used to look for servers hosting the cars service manual whenever I had issues. But that was in the early 2010s, so not sure where to look for them now.

I like the first half of your comment, but the second is really hard to swallow. I guess you meant “severe” or “debilitatingly” painful/disabled life, and I don’t think you meant malice in what you’re saying - but I know some people living with disabilities that would see your comment as calling them worthless.

India is a world leader when countries are ranked by population. It’s time will come, as the middle class grows and imports from other nations increase, but that is not happening in the next 5 years in my opinion.

India’s inability to remove the caste system leads IMHO to an equivalent of middle eastern country’s inability to allow women a meaningful place in their society, and is a massive hindrance to reaching its potential socially and economically.

On the positive side, absolutely has the best cuisine in the world

I don’t normally blindly down such comments, but without credible explanation and evidence of what you mean, I made an exception here.

Seconded. One of the first foss projects I donated to :)

I would agree, but I would not want to sleep with them on as OP requested.

You need an incredibly robust quality management system to even achieve certification (allowing you to place on the market) when creating systems which include life support function, or functions which potentially could kill a user. All potential changes both within and outside of the manufacturers’ control MUST be assessed and constantly monitored so such issues CANNOT arise.

No one should be able to legally place an unsafe app on the market, or legally perform changes to the app without the necessary checks and balances.

Medical device approvals in most countries are definitely not the wild west. Although they are not perfect.

Are you talking about a pure socialist country, or socialist aspects within any system?

You caused the sub prime mortgage crisis by saying you could play the goo goo dolls?!

No harm done

Oxygen is OnePlus’ proprietary OS.

A man named Michel Thomas created a series of audio lessons to teach a number of languages, including German. He does it in a simulated classroom type of environment where one “student” makes common mistakes and he corrects them, so you get to hear someone else make the mistake first.

He also teaches you the necessary words to enable you to start understanding others speaking he language quickly. I found combining this with Duolingo and the super cheesy Extr@s TV series (once you have the basics) allowed me to go from 0 to speaking to people within 6 weeks and understanding 95% within 6 months.

I learnt Spanish and German from his audiobooks. They are worth the money if you can afford it and/or cannot pirate it.

Agreed. Plus the chance to make Harry Kane go home unhappy is one any of us would take up!

12 meteors, 8 volcanoes and 10 tornadoes incoming you say?

That would be the most pleasant way to go :)

Mine shows only those which have already loaded. Once more have loaded, I can continue to scroll.

I’ll second this and add Hemingway’s “the old man and the sea”. Great when you just want a simple story.

Op comes here looking for positivity and you just slam dunk life back in their face. I like it!

As another has commented, medical devices (and especially pacemaker systems) are well regulated, such that misuse or illegal re-selling of patient health data is not worth it for most companies.

Cybersecurity is a big topic in the industry now and life-sustaining systems are scrutinised much more closely these days. I wouldnt be worried, but you can ask the company directly if you are still concerned.
