It was some sciencey site reporting on a journal article, I’ll see if I can find it again. Don’t remember the tech beyond a dim impression that it was “more emitters, different wavelengths, higher energy”

Thank you for this wider view. It was shitty to see these dynamics play out as the bombs started falling:
Israel-Palestine war: They were told to leave their homes. They did. They were still bombed
Appreciate this deep dive. Worth adding that there is a detectable bit of extra mortality and morbidity with fingertip pulse oximeters when testing darker-skinned folks. The devices usually face the same issue as smartwatches. This interferes with timely treatment for acute and chronic symptoms of COVID and other conditions which cause lowered blood oxygen concentrations.
Supposedly the tech was out there to solve it, but it was expensive enough that medtech manufacturers hadn’t ever bothered making compatible devices at a scale to serve most patients or consumers.

The government should be afraid. Any sumo wrestler is only three missed bowls of chankonabe from judo throwing you off the raised dohyō platform into the third row.
I’m more grateful for paywalled Web 1.0 platforms from two decades ago than I have been in a long time. Metafilter’s FanFare section is low-volume but particularly satisfying for thoughtful movie chatter. It’s fun when bursts of comments in an old thread are years apart between a title’s theatrical release and arrival on streaming.
You are clearly a true lover of fart history.

Dr. Google yielded this good roundup of tech from around when I recall reading about it, near the end of the public health emergency. https://www.darkdaily.com/2023/05/22/innovators-develop-multi-analyte-pulse-oximeters-that-accurately-read-oxygen-levels-in-people-with-darker-skin-pigmentation/
