NHS told to ditch 'absurd' fax machines

The NHS will be banned from buying fax machines from next month - and has been told by the government to phase out the machines entirely by 31 March 2020.

Finally someone's trying to get rid of fax machines.

I mean you say that yet every major food retailer in the fuckin' world still throws out their food surplus instead of giving it to shelters, I think the majority of companies out there would rather hoard/dispose of poo poo than give it to people in need, it's a valid complaint

I'm not saying "why not just give them away", I'm aware it's not your decision, it's just.. it still hurts to destroy working poo poo

The majority of companies gives zero fucks about anything other than number go up. The individual employees tend towards wanting to make poo poo better. Guess which one has the power and is willing to waste employee time cataloguing dead or obsolete equipment over and over again with no end goal in mind?

you can think things are bad even if you are powerless to change them currently

You misinterpret. Deliberately destroying employer equipment to deny them the ability to waste your time with soul-destroying penny pinching is a subversive act. It is literally smashing capitalism.

yeah :sigh:
