"What’s a crime you’ve been considering to commit as of lately? Wanna walk me thru your rationale?"

This truth, however, is obfuscated by mental side effects of erythropoietin, which tend to convince users of it’s efficacy

Additionally, would you mind sharing your thoughts on the following observations? Afaik, similarly to medical devices, we recognize the criticality of software for applications such as ATC or microcontroller-based railway switchyards; for obvious reasons ofc. Alright, but ensuring the availability of barebones emergency response or Hospital IT shouldn’t be far off in terms of criticality, no?

Yet, ATC, avionics, rail DMIs/infrastructure and similar go through the effort of building ultra-available, purpose built systems that are very different from Windows instances running CS kernel tools, even thoughtful ones.

In contrast, apparently said healthcare/emergency related applications seemingly are okay with relying on mission critical windows boxes. I hope that info is factual, otherwise mea culpa.

I don’t mind healthcare using less elaborate tech for non-critical purposes, the equivalent of the service responsible for providing train delay updates, stuff far away from operating signals type ops. But if its mission critical or able to impede critical services, that’s really worrying to me.

Whoever thought up the great idea to allow auto-update-able kernel modules for something as mission critical as emergency response or healthcare deserves just as much blame. I’ve worked in healthcare for my whole career, this is madness. Not that their process is without flaw, but can we remind ourselves of how stringently we assess medical devices? I cannot imagine it’s controversial to say that emergency response equipment is every bit as critical as a insulin pump. If they fail, someone dies.

here’s a German article discussing KDP alternative, maybe that’s of help to you.
