When I go to the supermarket, I will often choose generic alternatives to branded goods; how different can peanuts or cornflakes really be?
Nevertheless, I'm going to stick with Nutella in future. "HEB Hazlenut Spread With Cocoa" stands in the same relation to the original as CZ to diamond; in neither case should one try to fob off the one you love with the imitation.
Starting Jan 1, GSK has said it’s discontinuing the branded #asthmainhaler #Flovent, instead is making an “authorized #generic” version, which is identical but without the same branding. Physicians who treat patients w asthma say #authorized generic will work just as well as branded drug, but it doesn’t appear to be covered as widely by #insurers. That may mean #patients will have to obtain new script, sort out coverage hurdles at height of #respiratoryvirus season. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/28/health/asthma-inhaler-generic-switch/index.html
But this "make a #generic #part #incompatible with all other similar parts by using #electronics that refuse to operate if the other end doesn't have the right matching settings blown into its software, so you can #charge ten times as much for it" should be #illegal.
#Apple is getting famous for this lately. You can replace parts in an Iphone or Ipad, but they won't work right because they're paired by serial numbers for no operational purpose whatsoever.
"#Screw #customers".

As you might have #guessed, the motor in my *other* furnace #failed last week.
I've removed it from the furnace and #tested it, and just like the first one, the motor itself checks out fine - no #electrical or #mechanical #problems at all.
The #electronics in it have failed. And only a few months after the other one. It's almost like they're #designed to #fail; otherwise, how could you make a ton of #money by #charging #monopoly prices for what is otherwise a #generic 1/2 HP motor?

Agree 
Emphasis on #generic names would help eliminate ambiguity, promote a perception among the public that doctors are focused on active drug ingredients rather than drug companies, & decrease cognitive load

Ooooh just switched from hot to cold pack… ooooohhhhhh yes. Between that and the medication. Definitely some relief.

GeV. Newsom announces $50-million contract to make California’s own brand of insulin
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new $50-million contract with the nonprofit generic drugmaker #Civica to produce #insulin under the state’s own label during a news conference Saturday in Downey.
Pending approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the deal with Civica would provide the first pharmaceutical product made under the #CalRX brand of #generic #drugs.
Under the deal, a 10-milliliter vial — normally costing $300 — would be made available for the same $30 it costs the state to manufacture and distribute the drug, according to the governor’s office.
Newsom’s office said that as a result of such sharply reduced prices, patients who pay out of pocket for insulin would save between $2,000 and $4,000 annually.
“This is a big deal, folks,” Newsom said. “This is not happening anywhere else in the United States.”
In truth, probably one of the worst things Twitter has done was to suppress tweets from the global "People's Vaccine" campaign that was campaigning for a #generic #COVID19 #Vaccine, free of #patents. Twitter worked in cahoots with the big pharmaceutical companies.
How many people, particularly in the #GlobalSouth suffered because of big pharma patents on vaccines?
