Hospitals' New Issue: A 'Glut' of Machines Making Alarm Sounds "Tens of thousands of alarms shriek, beep and buzz every day in every U.S. hospital," reports Fierce Healthcare -- even though most of them aren't urgent, disturb the patients, and won't get immediate attention anyways: The glut of noise means that the medical staff is less likely to respond. Alarms have ranked as one of the top 10 health technological hazards every year since 2007, according to the research firm ECRI Institute. That could mean staffs were too swamped with alarms to notice a p... Read the full article on Slashdot »

A teenager describes his hilarious adventures installing a surplus, 1,500lb mainframe in his parents' basement Connor Krukosky's lifelong hobby was collecting and refurbishing superannuated computing equipment, which is surprisingly cheap provided you have a lot of space -- Krukosky scored things like keypunch machines for a mere $7 (though he had to drive 1,000 miles roundtrip to get it home). In 2016, Krukosky, then 18, bought a 1,500lb IBM z890 mainframe from a university and brought it home (it took two trips, one with a trailer), and then got it into his basement (with help from his dad, who used ...

PS5 could take virtual reality gaming to the next level with this brilliant device Information about Sony's PS5 has been trickling out ever since lead systems architect Mark Cerny was interviewed by Wired back in April, but there's still plenty we don't know. For example, while Cerny confirmed that all current versions of the PlayStation VR headset will be compatible with the next-gen console, we don't know what the company's plans are for the future of the product. Will a PSVR 2 be ready in time for the launch of the PS5 next holiday season? Is a true sequel to the successful... Read the full article on Boy Genius Report »

A new court battle over the Ramones' legacy goes back to a song about the KKK The Ramones were never a happy family. They never gave much of a crap for the political idealism that would come to be associated with the sound that they defined, either. This is especially of guitarist Johnny Ramone, a notorious conservative who celebrated the bands' induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by declaring, "God bless President Bush." That was in 2002, but frankly, no one was surprised. Because the Ramones had already been singing about Johnny's brand of conservatism for m... Read the full article on Boing Boing »

Why do ISPs still have data caps in the USA? Today I found out that US internet service providers (ISPs) still have data caps, and the companies that do provide unlimited data charges people an absurd amount each month. Why are there still data usage caps over there? That sounds extremely annoying to deal with. In Europe most, if not all ISPs offer unlimited data usage at a very cheap price these days with fast download and upload speeds. submitted by /u/Classic_Lee [link] [comments] Read the full article on Reddit »

Sapir has used his method to determine the veracity of the Book of Genesis, and to conclude that Anita Hill might be a secret lesbian and that James Comey was likely sexually assaulted as a child.
