I print out maybe a dozen pages per year, everything else is digital. With my old Canon inkjet, I would have to change the cartridges just about every single time as they would have dried out. And the quality was pretty poor (mostly from the dried ink I’m guessing).
I spent 99 euros on a Brother DCP-1510 black and white laser printer at least 5 years ago. I haven’t had to change the toner or spend any more money on it. Inkjets might be good for a moderate amount of printing, but I would have thought that for most people printing at home, laser is much better. I would think even a colour laser would end up cheaper when factoring in the dried ink on inkjets.

From what I’ve read, SMS (or iMessage or RCS) is king in the USA. Everywhere else in the world, everyone has more or less abandoned it and moved to WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal. I’ve never even met anyone who regularly uses iMessage.
So this whole fight is basically only about market share the USA, in of the only countries where more than 50% of smartphones are iPhones. I don’t know how true it is, but I usually see that explained by the fact an iPhone is seen as a status symbol, and "green bubbles" are seen as poor people. So most young people have an iPhone or they’ll get bullied, and you have an entire generation that thinks that the only valid smartphones are iPhones. That mentality even exist anywhere else in the world.

Maybe RTFA? They say the github page is there. But the actual website isn’t. Neither is the main URL for the pirate bay or 1337x. Some of the alternatives are there though. So DDG has deindexed the main domains.
So maybe bother to check what the article says?

No they don’t. The modern sensors require no calibration. In fact you can’t calibrate them. And they’re accurate. Research papier: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go...

I’m sorry, but I’ve been using the FreeStyle sensors for 4 years and not once has it ever asked for a test strip. Nor has anyone I know that uses them. So I’m guessing you’re the one who is misinformed. And accusing people of ragging on the USA when I’m simply pointing out that this is very odd research that makes no sense whatsoever. And the only way it can make sense is if it’s because people over there can’t afford continuous monitors (but then how would they be able to afford this?). In quite a few countries patients don’t pay a penny for continuous monitors. I don’t understand why you Americans are so touchy when people are just stating facts.

But even so. That’s besides the point. We’re talking about "brand new revolutionary" technology from MIT that would use strips at EVERY meal (and not just the odd check/calibration/whatever once in a blue moon), and a second one that would use the needle to test. In both cases we’re talking about single points, rather than actually having continuous information and being able to retrace the entire day’s variations like you can with current technologies. It’s a HUGE step backwards. Which makes no sense. So the only way this kind of research can make any sense is if there’s a market for it. Which there isn’t in most countries.

I’m sorry, what? A device that uses finger pricks and strips? Maybe this is news for America, but in a lot of other countries basic blood glucose monitors, such as the Freestyle, are paid for by social security. So most diabetics using insulin haven’t used finger pricks in years.
And a glucose monitor on the needle itself? Doesn’t seem at all practical.
The only thing of any interest in this, and even that’s been attempted before, is the AI that can count carbs on a plate. We already have closed loop systems with several new ones in their final phases of testing.

It’s astonishing to see such backwards tech come out of MIT. I can only assume it has to do with the lack of proper social security over there that.

This could be a good idea in a few years. But as a VR fan, the tech just isn’t there yet to ensure everyone gets a fair trial. IPD, glare, god rays, screen door effect, glasses, and just the fact of being in VR for someone who’s not used to it. Not to mention how taxing it can be if you suffer from things like migraines and you have days where screens are just difficult to cope with. Plus headsets are heavy and uncomfortable. I think the whole VR experience just isn’t there yet.

As far as I can tell, this is just one step closer to a cure that’s still quite far away.
Doctors have been able to "cure" type 1 diabetes for decades. They do a pancreas transplant. However, because of the risk of rejection and the immunosuppressants you have to take, they only did it when doing another organ transplant at the same time (if you have to take immunosuppressants anyway...). There have also been several studies injecting just the islets that make insulin, which work quite well.
This changes nothing on that front. Taking immunosuppressants all your life is a huge burden. This does however solve the problem of finding donors. If this is done using the patients own stem cells (I couldn’t see anything in the article that says that’s where they came from), then it does give hope. If they can find out how to stop the autoimmune response, then the patients wouldn’t need immunosuppressants as the new islets wouldn’t be rejected (as they don’t contain foreign genetic material).
But, until they’ve found a solution to the autoimmune response, this will make no difference to most type 1 diabetics.

Of course it’s not in the new Trek universe. It’s in the original one. It’s a continuation from TNG and Nemesis. The supernova is from the original timeline, albeit that information comes from a new Trek film. The entire second timeline is established because Spock travels back in time from the original timeline after the supernova.

In France, in the 90s at least (not sure about today) this was a standard question in all maths textbooks. A lot of kids would just add the numbers together because they couldn't believe that there wasn't an answer. The entire point was to teach us to stop and think about what we're doing and to make sure the data actually pertains to the question.
I can't believe this made headlines as something weird and chinese when it's standard education in France... And the exact same question.

Hrm. There is no oe letter on the AZERTY keyboard. And slashdot won't even let me post it, it just vanishes from my post.

The article gives examples that don't apply to all French. However, there is no letter on the French keyboard, which is necessary for spelling words like egg and heart. Also the æ, less common, is used in latin expressions and names like Lætitia. Yes, some people can't spell their name on the computer.

There is a French equivalent for the DVORAK layout, called BÉPO. It has gained a certain popularity, but can only go so far as it's a lot of work learning a completely new keyboard layout. It is also a little awkward for typing in English as the W is way out on the right hand side. But that's what I use, and my typing is a lot faster and more accurate than it ever was with AZERTY.

I didn't hear anything about a subscription on the stream, but the stream is buggy, so maybe I just missed it.
But what I understand is that upgrade will be free if done in the first year, like the 30€ upgrade to Windows 8 in the first few months. If you don't upgrade within the first year, you'll have to buy the new Windows.

Oh! Mod this guy up. Summary is seriously confusing. They're just turning one iOS app into several. Nothing to do with anyone else...

Wish I had some mod points for you. Why look for something that happened in 2003 when it could just be a ticking time bomb planted a long time ago that finally went off?
