Not sure if this is old news for everyone here. If so please delete this post. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwjd4w/im-possibly-alive-because-it-exists-why-sleep-apnea-patients-rely-on-a-cpap-machine-hacker Personally, I find the description of ‘hacker’ a bit insulting.

One criticism/suggestion: most programmers tend to think in technical terms and often use terms and expressions that are hard to remember or understand. And I like to make software that is highly responsive and even fun. ResMed machines flags events with names like unrecognized apnea, or UA. Whut? I...

When I got started on this, I assumed that the doctors were using a ResMed program not available to the public, Windows only, and probably a basic, unimaginative program. I was not aware of any other alternatives, so I started work on Dragon Breath with some clear ideas of how it should operate and ...

Thanks, but I’m already pretty public by virtue of my WildTools software.
