In Castilian Spanish it's called "imperdible" which means unlossable/unmissable, which results in the ironic occurrence of finding a lost one or losing yours.


> The ring watch’s screen even has a light, and an alarm function that will flash the display instead of playing an audible sound

That is a bit... Underwhelming isn't it?


A vibration motor would have been even better, but I suppose there wasn't enough space inside for that. Nor for a speaker.

This is Casio, though. If they really want to, the next version could very well contain all of that and a solar battery.


> A vibration motor would have been even better,

The best alarm clock I've ever had is a smartwatch that does this vibrating. No more stupid digital screaming. Just a nice gentle tapping pattern on my wrist, and then a fading bit of music. I'm usually awake and hitting stop before the music really starts.


Same, except I wear this: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-T49950-Expedition-Shock-Vibrati...

It's a "dumb" Timex watch, but also vibrates. So you get that same nice gentle vibrating without any "smart" alerts.


I have the smaller older variant of the Timex Explorer and is still my most worn out of my whole collection despite its ugliness since it's by far the most useful due to the vibration alarms, great UX and features. Shame they don't make it anymore and has only been replaces with this gigantor edition.


A vibration motor on the index finger could make it... multifunctional.


No Casio watch owners know how to turn on/off alarms and it's annoying, so IMO it's only sensible that this does not have it. I've turned it off on my F-91W but frankly have no recollection as to how.


It started the trend of adding tons of incremental permanent power increasing microunlocks to games with roguelike elements that I don't like because it encourages farming instead of learning the game. Specially at the beginning where you know you are not gonna win, not because you don't know the game, but because there is an artificial wall blocking the way until you spend x hours grinding the metacurrency.


This is what id software did with doom and see how it ended

hint: extremely well


No, Doom's source license is GNU Public License. It's F/OSS. Its assets remain proprietary, but not all of them are paywalled, due to the shareware releases which include plenty of levels.


I believe the implication of OP's comment is that Doom and Wolfenstein 3D were originally released under non-commercial source available licenses before being relicensed to a FOSS license (GPLv2) a few years later, and the same could very well end up happening for Rogue Legacy as well.


One thing is customer support and the other is user support. There is few to none of the latter.

Regarding the former, my company pays for google workspace and an agent happily answered our questions about the recent less secure apps password phasing out process.


Is that a real catch, though? The intel chip requires good cooling too to perform well, doesn't it?

Maybe is the Apple's chip more limited in multithread tasks vs Intel's one


> Apple's chip more limited in multithread tasks

It would several times slower, yes


> stating the obvious

If interpersonal relationships were obvious we would not need abuse laws nor CPS.


They are usually obvious, except for psychopaths and people struggling with autism. The latter is rather prominent in tech, so we see more of these issues then outside of tech.


I had selfsteem problems growing up derived from my narcissistic mother.

What am I then? Autistic or psycopath?


Most self-help is easy to write and difficult to apply, specially if it's written in a generic matter like in a book or in a blog post.

This doesn't mean it can't be helpful. I know because some self help knowledge in the past has helped me.


It is not just difficult to apply. If you actually try to apply it and do, it setups you for fail. Because it is feel good instead of real and omits real world constraints.

Take this article - sometimes, fairly often, the "bad vibes" are a correct observation of the other persons attitude, opinions and intentions. Sometimes people are in fact hostile or cold, whether for personal, professional, fair or unfair reasons.

This part of the advice, if you apply it, is making you helpless and powerless. And conversely, it over time make you come across as manipulative person, because that is what you do majority of the time.


No, they aren't. French puts the stress generally at the end of the word (vs languages like Spanish where the stress varies but is fixed and can't be used by the speaker to emphasize anything)


> No, they aren't. French puts the stress generally at the end of the word

What? I'm pretty sure "no stress anywhere" is right. (I did play a few words in my head to check, but really, syllable stress is just a foreign concept in french.)


It's a foreign concept in French because in French it's always on the last syllable, so you don't have to think about it.


I mean... I'm honestly not sure because I indeed don't think about it, but I really don't think so?

Like, okay, let's take a random sentence:

"C'est impossible!"

There's a bunch of different ways you can pronounce it: you can pronounce all syllables in one breath (no accent), you can enunciate three syllables for heavy emphasis ("C'est im, po, ssible!"), you can put the accent on the first syllable for light emphasis ("C'est IMpossible"), but you're almost never going to put the accent on the last syllable ("C'est impoSSIBLE!") unless you're doing a bit.


It's not about the wavelength, it's about the power.

I use shorter or higher wavelengths (depends on the channel in question) to cook my food every day but my phone sure doesn't emit 700W


Getting cooked is also not cancer. There is also not evidence for a link between burn injuries and cancer anyway.


No evidence is needed. Tissue damage is damage and genetic stress. It can increase the risk of a local cancer.

In fact, when the healing occurs, keloid scars can form, which is a benign growth.


> No evidence is needed. Tissue damage is damage and genetic stress. It can increase the risk of a local cancer.

"No evidence needed" works if you want to be an astrologer.

Then everything causes cancer (and death really) by means of break, bruise, bump, burn, cut, prick, sprain, tear, etc.

Where evidence is needed is if you want to show a statistically significant result of your analysis that something indeed causes injury, and does it often enough to cause cancer within a person's lifetime.


>No evidence is needed. Tissue damage is damage and genetic stress. It can increase the risk of a local cancer.

Why doesn't the same damage occur when you're being blasted with 600 THz radiation (ie. visible light from your lightbulb)?


The healing of repeated damage to the body is a vector for cancer. For example, mesothelioma caused by asbestos. The asbestos is continuously damaging tissue in the body, and the healing of said damage leads to calcification of tissue and potentially cancer.

It's certainly possible that other repeated tissue damage, such as those from burns, could also be cancer causing.


I am not a doctor, but..

..let’s assume that a specific area of our inner body is “micro-cooked” constantly, the body will certainly try to repair that area with higher frequency and therefore there would be a higher risk of cancer, wouldn’t it?


I guess we should consider heated seats dangerously carcinogenic then. They put out far more power than a cellphone. Same with heating bags and homes without air conditioning.


For sure it can’t be good to put our heads on a heated seat for hours a day, every day for decades.
