A stock kernel on an MRI machine?

No, I don't want that level of DIY on any equipment that is critical to anything.

Almost nobody runs stock kernels. Stock kernels are used by distributions to build their own kernels.

That MRI machine is running on a 1.2 kernel. Maybe 2.0. It's separated from the hospital network by a firewall.

If the MRI machine is getting attacked then a LOT has gone wrong already.

You're an outlier. Top 0.1% vision. Or better.

I've got very good vision. Diopt 0.0 in both eyes. Due to my age I will be needing reading glasses within a couple of years but for now I can still read fine without them.

For me, the difference between HD and 4K is visible but small. I can't resolve individual pixels on 4K at any reasonable distance.

Since most people will have worse vision than us, 4K will be beyond their limit. 8K is only adding cost without adding quality.

It's better for you.

It's not better for a lot of businesses. The collaboration features of openoffice are sub-par. That alone excludes openoffice from most shortlists. Many businesses nowadays rely on Sharepoint. Only Google comes close to this.

Excel is by far the best in connecting to external database resources. By far the best in pivot tables. Both are extensively used for financial reporting.

Not saying Excel is perfect. But there simply is no serious competition.

Submission + - Python Software Foundation refuses $1.5 million grant with anti DEI provision. (blogspot.com) 1

Jeremy Allison - Sam writes: The PSF has withdrawn a $1.5 million proposal to US government grant program.

"We became concerned, however, when we were presented with the terms and conditions we would be required to agree to if we accepted the grant. These terms included affirming the statement that we “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws.”
