  • Having spent a lot of time in hospital with my wife who was in and out of the ICU, formalising this is great.

    But, I have reservations. Shared hospital rooms are already loud places where patients have interrupted sleep at best. More people in there when they don’t need to be is not a good thing.

    That, and we should just be hiring enough nurses to do the job, and not farming off the work onto family members because this government are too laser focused on tax cuts for the wealthy, than funding basic essential services.






  • They’re a business. Reducing their costs (while charging you a premium) is absolutely what they do.

    Apple’s whole deal for decades now has been building a vertical supply chain. Using their own SSD controller is one less component they have to pay others for.

    They just don’t give a shit about downsides: aftermarket repairers or user upgradeability.
