    They’ve also not been fine.

    SUID Death rate for infants has decreased even since 1990. Baby monitor likely had a role in that.

    FYI not supporting subscription for features a device has in hardware, just saying I’d rather have a monitor that never went off than no monitor and a dead child. There are plenty of alternative devices without subs that cost a lot less to begin with.

      You know what else happened in the 90s? Leaded gas was banned. I’ll attribute it to that. Anecdotes don’t mean much.

        You need to publish a scientific paper on your SIDs discovery. Don’t let this major work languish in some technology comment on Lemmy!
