  • Healthcare in the US is run for profit. From 2020 estimates, they charge $1.6 million for a heart transplant. $1.3 million to transplant a pair of lungs, $880 thousand for a liver, and $440 thousand for a kidney. This is what for profit hospitals charge patients while giving your next of kin nothing for the organs that made it possible.

    They don't pay you for your organs. They will still bill your estate for any care other than the organ removal despite your generosity.

    I would happily be an organ donor in a country with a non-profit healthcare system. But because of how heathcare is run in this country, I would rather my organs be left to rot.

  • First check its plugged in. Then check the power supply is turned on. Then check that the power button is connected to the motherboard.

    It's probably something dumb keeping your PC from working. You probably were worried about the memory or CPU so you paid attention. It's the trivial things that are missed.

    The first paragraph is autobiographical. I messed all those up on my first attempt. :-/

  • So what would stop them from shadow profiling you by scraping content, or using a different domain? Most lemmy instances are configured to federate with a blocklist, meaning any unblocked instance can download data. Facebook can just make an instance under a different domain and download the data that way. Or they can just scrape user data from the web facing interface.

    Posts and comments on lemmy are public. If facebook wants your publicly accessible data from the fediverse, de-federating from threads isn't going to stop them.

  • It's the practice of preventing you from even using genuine parts. If you buy two identical iPhones, you can't even use parts from one to repair the other. The one phone won't accept the genuine part from the other because it's not paired to that phone by the manufacturer's proprietary tool.

  • Is it an option to use the manual chute for decaf? This was my solution when I wanted my own coffee when visiting a friend with an auto machine. I had to grind it myself, but it worked fine.

    If you're doing decaf rarely that's probably the best solution. Emptying the hopper between brews is not feasible at least on the one I used.
