pyxis is more commonly seen in hospitals to track and dispense sensitive but high volume drugs, so rather than the pharmacy sending a dude up to the icu with a bottle of morphine they stock the cabinet in the icu with 20 of them at the start of the day and when the order comes in and is approved, the hospital pharmacy just punches a button and the bottle drops right out into the icu nurse’s hand. it would be weird to have that at a retail pharmacy, though.

i know at least one retail pharmacy with a robotic filling... cabinet... thing, my friend was the pharmacist there, is that something else?

i mostly know about it because they had just installed it and it had tons of problems and was loving up all the time and he had to manually re-check everything it did because a few times he caught it giving out way too many pills (and once, the wrong pills altogether) so that was fun.

yeah that’s probably something similar if not the pyxis brand thing.

theoretically they can hep reduce misfills but that would mean the pharmacy’s database isn’t a pile of poo poo so lmao. i imagine schedule ii diversion is a bigger problem today than it was when i was a pharm tech 20 years ago.

is this better or worse than most companies where it is just a cost center?

worse, because when it starts loving up a company will eventually do something. government will run it until it’s literally impossible to fix and then be offline for months while the elephantine procurement process begins.

Incidentally, I think this makes a very strong case for forced automatic updates for software.

which would last right up until someone force updates something that breaks an especially critical system, and then force updating goes away forever.

Windows had broken too much stuff because of feature updates, but if we're just taking about security updates for local government that can't be bothered to update fire years it might actually be better to break it than let them keep using a known vulnerability version.

you may not be wrong, but you deal with the crowd coming in for their ebt cards that you can’t issue today because windows update ate poo poo and see what you think about forced updates.

Sometimes it does seem like it - the basis for the new voting machine standard in the US that's getting worked on by DARPA has at least one of the projects out of Cambridge, UK using capabilities enforced by hardware; it's essentially just a RISC CPU called CHERI with capabilities on top, and they've then added ~200 lines of code to FreeBSD to form CheriBSD.
The same capabilities, this time about 100 lines worth of code, were used by Robert Watson (also of Cambridge, UK) to sandbox Chromium, but Google rejected he patches and implemented their own inferior sandboxing.
A lot of their work cites a lot of work from back in the 60s and 70s and capabilities are from the 80s.

yeah you’re right, everything has already been invented so go ahead and close the patent office, we’re done here.

it is stunningly shortsighted to believe that if you can’t imagine it, it can’t exist.

so i can't watch the full video at work for obvious reasons but reading a summary, it sounds like the only compromise of the buttplug itself is just the nordic semi chipset, and most of the juicy stuff is in the software (which for the record I called out a looong time ago as a garbage fire of electron and crashing :v:)

he keeps mentioning a "dongle" that he compromised but like, the hush doesn't come with a "dongle", it's a bluetooth device so it doesn't need anything like that... maybe they started including them some time after i bought it? i know cam models would buy these because there's plugins for various cam sites that can integrate with the toy, maybe they started including a dongle specifically so you can plug it in to your computer?

his buttplug came with a usb to bt dongle.

it sucks rear end and the mesh breaks rapidly at the bend points. “rf shielding” wallets are every bit the security theater the tsa is. the big bags are better by virtue of heavier construction, double folds, and overall fewer flex cycles.

unless he was an xxxxxtreme flight risk yeah that’s weird. they probably wanted to set a precedent of shaking down doctors for patient information though.
