The Internet is bad.

  • I'm just thinking something as simple as the app triggering an event that unlatches a compartment that corresponds to that specific time. "It's 12:00. Open the compartment with all the 12:00 meds." You'd probably have to include multi-day support, too (I fill dad's meds a month at a time in this - https://a.co/d/cRw0e93 )

    That same event could do things like trigger a visual or audio alarm, too.

    My goal would be to make it as hands-off as possible for him. He already finds ways to "cheat" the daily dispensers he has now.

    EDIT: Look up Pyxis or Omnicell Dispensers for examples of unlatching compartments. We use these pretty extensively in hospitals.

    EDIT 2: Here's a good example (starting around 2:00) showing how the individual compartments unlatch: https://youtu.be/bPJSbexZNC4?t=120

  • Pharmacist here, struggling to find a way to keep my dad on schedule with his Parkinson's meds.

    Adding an option for webhooks at scheduled dispense times would open up some cool opportunities for nerds like us to create automated dispensing units.

  • Are we sure about that? Kinda just looks like it's a mostly-empty community. (4 posts in the last 15 days, then nothing until 9 months ago)

    Also, this comment is getting copypasta'd onto multiple different unrelated suggestions.

  • 1Gbps symmetrical speeds with unlimited data for $50/mo

    God I wish I lived in the 2% or so of the geographic U.S. that had access to service like this. It's $116/mo here for Comcast's 1000/150Mbps service, capped at 1.2TB. Costs an extra $30 to remove that cap.

  • The fact that the Russian government came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.

  • My daily trickplay task finished in 1 minute after the update. So apparently not.

  • It's still active -- save the communities that got kneecapped by mods during the revolt (and sadly, most of those are now Discord-based rather than having any appreciable activity here).

    The activity there now is a lot... dumber. Like much of the internet, the ratio of real people to braindead bots on Reddit is a lot different than a few years ago.

  • A lot of stuff ONLY has viable Q&A discussion there....

    As much as I love the idea of Lemmy, try finding active communities here for: MAME or any other videogame emulation... Plex... The breed of your family dog/cat... Most any sort of non-Fedi-focused brand/podcast/personality...

    Yes, I can create a new community. Then I just sit in it by myself, and occasionally deal with spam.

  • You should be backing up any personal data you don't want to lose to an offsite location? All I know is that if I did that, alone, on Comcast's 1.2TB data cap, I'd be cooked.

    Not to mention that individual games are commonly over 100GB these days, and have frequent patches. If you work from home, add that in. If you watch any sort of TV, that's most likely streamed, now, too.

    Sure, there was a time when I was always under the 1.2TB of my old Xfinity plan. That time has passed. Luckily, the T-Mobile internet I use now doesn't have a cap.

  • So, uh.... Why does Elon even care about this?

    Is this from that Iranian hack of the Trump organization or something?

    (EDIT: Literal first paragraph of the article. Yes.)

  • Actual pharmacist here, working in pharmacy IT.

    Unlike other industries, Pharmacy is not particularly thrilled about or interested in AI. In fact, my hospital explicitly blocks access to all LLMs.

    I was actually kind of hoping to see what Microsoft is claiming here, and just walked away from this post more confused.
