  When I had an ulcer, I called an ambulance at 3am because the pain was so bad I could hardly breath

  The ambo driver didn’t want to take me to the hospital and said it was probably just heartburn, but after I insisted they took me… He even made a joke that I must have been fine because I brought a battery pack and people who are having “true emergencies” don’t think of those things

  At emergency, they kept insisting it was heartburn despite me telling them I know what heartburn feels like

  They gave me medicine for heartburn that made the pain so much worse… It was only at that point when I was literally screaming in agony that they decided they better actually investigate

  Half hour later I was on a helicopter to Sydney for surgery

  They wasted well over an hour telling me I just had heartburn before they even decided to start investigating it.

  I can only imagine the pain this poor man went through at home after the drs Palmed him off

  If it’s like NSW, you don’t have to physically give them your phone, it shows all the information and it has a QR code they can just scan to bring up stuff on their system

  Many ways around that these days. Dynamic DNS, CloudFlare tunnels, tailscale funnel, reverse SSH tunnels, etc

  My setup uses a reverse proxy hosted on a free Oracle VPS that feeds through tailscale VPN, so it doesn’t really matter where the devices are connected, as long as they are connected to the tailscale VPN, the reverse proxy on the vps can serve the stuff

  I run Plex and about 30 other things including my own website through it all without any issues

  Similar boat, I would last about 4-8 days without medical intervention (dialysis and other regular treatments I need)

  So this study was done:

  opg.optica.org/jdt/abstract.cfm?uri=jdt-10-8-635

  And the summary result was:

  The results indicated that the moving picture quality improved more with an increase in frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (fps) than from 120 to 240 fps when viewing from a distance of 3 H (three times the image height).

  This article goes into the depth of it: ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8531714

  And if I’m understanding the study correctly (which there’s a high chance I am as it’s 4 am and I haven’t had more than an hour sleep in 2 days) but essentially the brain perceived higher frame rates to be higher quality across all participants but with diminishing returns

  This is all probably only part of the answer you’re looking for but hopefully it helps you to find the full answer

  They are still doing it. I’m still waiting for dead island 2 to come to steam because it’s a 1 year timed exclusive on epic
