This is really interesting. I work in a casino and I’d say 90% of slot machines are now just video based.

I’ve noticed when looking a far distance across the gaming floor, slot machines that are physically far away from me appear to have “choppy” reel movement when they spin. As I get closer, they smooth out. It’s really jarring at first and it made me think of video games where things in the far distance are rendered with low resolution models that are replaced with higher resolution models as you get closer.

Maybe there is something to how we view refresh rates from distance that our eyes just lose frames or something.

My main concern is always my toothbrush. But it’s on a counter above the toilet. So wouldn’t keeping the lid down help significantly, in both the direction and distance of whatever is stirred up?

About 1/3 had not been previously seen in the have I been pwnd database, that’s really crazy. Either this was a very new or private list of exploited accounts.

What’s even worse is typically in the terms of those 3rd party sites, they say they can monitor your balances and transactions until you tell them to stop.

Nookie!

So this is only passing the SAT score that a person uses in their searches? Not what they actually scored on their test?

Like if I search for colleges that take 1550 score that will get passed to Facebook, not my real score?

Not unskippable, un-autoembedable.

Paper. Some prefer to only eat the wrappers.

Yep, it just sucks that the hit or miss accuracy of many current treatments will be like that for many decades. It’s just part of the process towards eventually getting to extremely effective treatments with minimal side effects.

My birthday a few years ago, I realized I had lived exactly half of my life before 9/11 and half after 9/11.

Then I got depressed because from that point forward, the majority of my existence would be in a post 9/11 world.

I think also, the removal of the port allowed for better engineering around the screen and better waterproofing and thinner devices.

I think with the EU mandating phones use USB-C, it might push apple into to drop port charging all together. You may see MagSafe only charging iPhones in the EU or everywhere soon.

It’s not to spend more money, there’s a real increase in value Bluetooth provides to most people. Yes there are edge cases, but when you can get a a blue tooth headset for $5-20 it’s not really cost prohibitive any more.

Remember when the singe piece Bluetooth mics were like $100 when Bluetooth first started hitting mainstream phones? Many people didn’t think it was worth $100 to use an unwired headset for phone calls.

Well now, that phone is also your entire music collection, your cable box and much more. Being untethered makes a lot more sense.

In addition, easily Bluetooth destroyed device batteries, now it’s more power and you can just leave it running all the time in your phone.

I’m pretty sure using iMessage and whatsapp on southwest is free and you don’t have to pay the $8
