Honest answer as someone who casually follows this? It’s weird and I imagine there is a diagnosed or undiagnosed mental illness at play.

This is the fun thing about The Internet is that neither of us have any idea what we are talking about.

What I can tell you is in finance the use of thin clients is niche and is not a replacement for a laptop/desktop. It’s been tried time and time again.

Yes we virtualize applications using Citrix but again those are niche.

Now, healthcare may or may not be a different beast altogether.

Question, how are users accessing EMR. Are they using a thin client workstation for that along with their word, excel, outlook, etc. or are they logging into a portal from their company issued laptop/desktop?

I’m at a hospital right now and everything here is powered off of laptops hooked up to portable physical workstations.

Regardless, I digress. I don’t give enough of a shit to care further lol.

Oh sweet summer child no it is not. I’ve spent 25+ years in corporate now. Aside from set situations like BCP we are not using thin clients. They’re cumbersome, an absolute bitch to manage, and quite frankly they’re shit (underpowered) and not flexible.

Sure you may get some pockets of orgs that use thin clients across the board but I highly doubt it’s common.

At that price (which will probably be closer to 2k CAD) I think my console gaming life will be over. It was a good run from NES to now.

Steam deck is looking more and more appealing or just build my own computer again

Oooh this is gonna age like milk

Once again we are pulling up the ladder behind us. This time it’s GenX.

I’m waiting to see the elusive Arch, Jellyfin Vegan stack in the wild. We know they exist and they are fucking telling everyone

Sheeit thanks for the reminder (and trip down memory lane)

With crypto it’s all a solution looking for a problem. The whole ecosystem is a grift.

Glad I never got involved.

You don’t call it AI because you think Trump is a disgusting human being.

I don’t call it AI because I hyperfocus on stupid things and I’m a pedantic nerd.

We are not the same.

Oh god that must have sucked and sorry about your mom.

Man, to a non-smoker the world must have smelled like ass back then.

My dad was made to quit by my mum in 1973 when they had their first. By my birth in 77 I was really only around smokers at parties or friends houses.

Still didn’t stop me picking up the habit mind you, but I course corrected lol

Clutch dem pearls harder.

Are you really going to tell everyone here a black poor person is equal to a white one?

Really? That’s the hill you’re going to die on?

Clutch them pearls.

Anyone reading this. Make friends with black immigrants, specifically black women and then let’s talk about privilege.

Poor whites are still white. Yes they’re still privileged.

It’s such a sliding scale. I never thought I had until my son was diagnosed and I said “wait he gets a lot of this from me.” So I got diagnosed at 40. Hindsight I very clearly self-medicate with copious amounts of tea.

Also explains the drug abuse when I was younger, and the failed relationships.

Only thing I’m still working on is the relationships. I’m shit with them. Self sabotage constantly.
