I read through most of the executive orders, and while I admittedly skimmed a lot, I didn’t notice these kinds of things. Can we get some examples?

Reading through this discussion and considering my own daily life, I find that indeed my utilization of smartphones is limited to primarily other existing advances in technology not directly associated with phones. Primarily Internet. In fact, I might be a bit abnormal because my 8 hours at work, my phone is not directly on my person and rarely used. I do, however, need to utilize it for 2FA authentication ~1-2 times per day. Which, digital personal keys were a thing before phones.
So yeah, I’d say that smartphones aren’t a big advancement, but the combination of multiple other technological advancements.

Memes@lemmy.ml•[OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds?
141·2 years agoI do. I extend it beyond medicines as well. Corporations have spent lots of money for their brands to be household names. They don’t control my language.
Specifically to medicine, I will note that the generic name actually carries information that the brand name does nothing for. Lisinopril and enalopril are the same medication class, act similar. Amlodipine, nimodipine, nicardipene are all the same class. Those generic names have important meaning.
Oh, you want facial tissues? Why didn’t you ask?
Sure, here’s some acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Don’t you mean bleach wipes?

Eggs are $4/dozen in my large city. Where the high COL is this?
