Not a desktop thing (digital out-of-home signage) but we’re dropping Windows like it’s flaming dogshit. Minimal Linux install with X, Blackbox and player software (and management/monitoring stuff obvs) on all new assets and the thousands of extant ones will get replaced as soon as feasible.

Maybe time to ask AI why you’re looking for a technical solution rather than addressing the gaslighting that has left you with such piss-poor medical care in the richest country on earth?

Everyone knows this is a problem. No-one it effects has enough power to change it

Already know the answer, don't need AI for that one.

Maybe time to use a genuinely useful tech instead of trying to solve an actual hard problem by handwaving difficult problems?

Seems to me like the "difficult problem" is solved in pretty much every other rich country in the world.

if its not solved in the richest country maybe its not so easy to solve unless you want to hand wave the diffuclt parts and just describe it as "rich people being greedy"

It's such a dysfunctional situation that the "rich people being greedy" is the most likely explanation. Either that or the U.S. citizenry are uniquely stupid amongst rich countries.

Perhaps we should rename it as the Peninsular of North Mexico?


> Trump's a piece of work, all right.

I’ve not seen it spelled like that that before.


Any reason why they wouldn’t use EDIFACT instead?


As having implemented EDIFACT parsers and translation layers, Universal Business Language (Oasis UBL) is a bliss to work with. Yes, it's a big standard and looks scary when starting out with it, but it is very well designed for a complicated world.


Google says following:

In some member states, like Germany, the EDIFACT format, when compliant with the EN 16931 data model, is accepted as a valid e-invoice format.

EN 16931 defines what information needs to be in an invoice (the data model), while EDIFACT INVOIC defines how that information is structured and formatted for electronic transmission (the syntax).


OK, it’s been a long time since I worked in this space. Seems like it’s an XML version of the INVOIC message, but is it required to support the XML syntax, or does the plain old EDI format suffice?


For the benefit of those outside of the UK, Nigel (Mr. Brexit) Farage’s right hand man in Wales, Nathan Gill was just jailed for taking bribes from Kremlin stooges to parrot their propaganda in the EU parliament.

The biggest funder of Brexit of course had a Russian wife, company called Ural Holdings, several meetings with Russian diplomats and weird company finances where he suddenly went from almost broke to millions through opaque offshore financing.


And Nige has an EU passport through his German wife.


I bet that they talk foreign on trains, too. The filthy beggars!


Ahem, in 5 years Nigel Farage will have persuaded the idiots to willingly up their human rights, as enshrined in the ECHR. Churchill’s great achievement to prevent the horrors of the Nazi regime happening again.

Let’s see how that work out.


But the British public, or at least the flag-waving hotel-arson subset, really want to separate families and send people to countries where they face significant risk of torture or death.


“There was a better Brexit, but it goes to a different school” is the mentality.

Sophistry incarnate, that bunch.


Well, it is called a heartbeat after all, not a oscillator beat :-)


Hardly new. Used this years ago for directing a “NAT” address to a virtual IP with a specific MAC address to do health checking.
