If they bring the watch back, they need redesign for magnetic induction. The charging cables were the biggest let down eventually failing to recharge the battery due to poor design.

I manage a hotel that fortunately was not impacted by this despite having a high percentage of bookings from them. It sounds like this was mostly a European issue. I always tell our guests to not trust any of these agencies because when things go wrong, they will be waiting a long time on hold to fix problems they created. If the virtual CC we are given fails, guess what, they will be charged directly by us to the incidental card on file and good luck getting a refund from them. Also if a traveler needs to cancel or change their booking info, there is nothing we can do until they clear the changes through the travel agencies. So many agencies are sketchy at best. When searching for a hotel online, be sure to avoid them by sticking to the brand site if it is part of a chain. They are all paying google to be as close to the top as possible and many are just scam artists. Book with the hotel whenever possible as you will always get the best deal since the hotel won't be paying their outrageous 15-18% commission on your stay.

I did, I also got an error message saying it couldn't remove the last update. Windows is just big ridden and once in while it bites the user. This was the first time I had Windows do this to me in years.

This update broke my gaming laptop. It would boot, but I would get a flickering white screen and explorer wasn't able to start crashing over and over. Repairing the install had no effect and was told it was unrecoverable by the repair tool. Had to rebuild my hard drive and lost a lot of files. It was working fine just before the update.

I never asked them for more speed. 300 mbps(I actually get up to about 500mbps when they aren't under load) is just too much and I have no choice in paying for bandwidth I don't need. Charter needs lower speed tiers so the average consumer isn't paying too much for internet access.

I ran the numbers and this figures out to 40,450.74 acre feet. A typical household consumes about 1 acre foot a year so this is enough water for a town of 150-200k for one year. While this will eventually fall back to the Earth as precipitation, it would likely be too far spread out to make much of a difference to areas in drought.

Jackpot, NV is also on Mountain Time, Likely this is done to be in the same time zone as most of their customers in Idaho. It is in the same county as West Wendover and just a couple miles south of the northern state line. The timezone line goes just around the city. Leave jackpot and you are in Pacific time.

I have one of these solar remotes from last year. It's terrible due to how simplified it is lacking essential controls that negate the need to navigate the terrible TV menu like changing the input source.. I bought a compatible Samsung remote with all the buttons which uses AAAs instead to replace it. So much for saving batteries from ending up in landfills if the user prefers a traditional remote due to it's poor design. My previous TV was also a Samsung and it also came with an optional smaller simplified remote(AAA batteries), but it actually had all the needed buttons to avoid menus along with a full function remote when you needed more. Samsung took a step backwards with the newer design.

I know of someone who has stumbled upon the discarded set pieces in a dumpster where they were filming. He had no idea what it was for back then but thought one piece was cool enough to take. He salvaged about 1/2 of Oogie Boogie's gambling wheel outer ring. He would have gotten more if he had a car at the time to do so. I found out about it after attending a small party he was holding and saw it sitting above his kitchen cabinets. I said to him that it looked awfully familiar and he said it was from Nightmare Before Christmas and then it clicked. So sad that this happens to a lot of movie props. Dumped as trash never to be seen again.

If they get pixel density this high, they could increase frames per second by alternating which pixels are lit. There would far more pixels than could be reasonably addressed so why not use the extra pixels to improve frame rate?

I have worked at places that had 12 hour shifts. The burnout rate was high, especially if one has to stand on their feet all day on a hard floor. The rate of turnover was high and were frequently understaffed. Good luck to Elon Musk if he thinks it will work.

I have a dual display set up(50" for TV and 65" for PC) mostly for dealing with annoying commercial breaks which, even with streaming, you cannot always avoid. It also frees up real estate on my PC dedicated screen. Another benefit is sometimes something of interest pops up on television or while watching a movie that I want to learn more about. Having the PC always on makes this a simple task.

I thought they already implemented this a few months back or perhaps they were testing the feature. I mostly use Alexa to control my lighting. When I didn't use the "Start my day" command to turn lights upon which she says a bit about the weather and something insightful about what day it is, she sounded disappointed when saying "ok" in response to just "turn on all lights".

Silicone straws are the answer to this problem. They are rigid enough for most liquids and collapse easily if fell upon. They also fit in just about any pouch/pocket as they can be easily folded. I have been using them in all of my drinking containers. They are also a lot cheaper than steel straws.

I think Netflix is likely more concerned with shutting down those who abuse their subscription by sharing access with several persons. I personally share it only with an ex roommate who was in the same household(which is permissible) for several months before moving to live with his brother in another state. I never took away his access after he moved. He is on disability and has poor eyesight. He couldn't afford a luxury like this and I doubt he is doing heavy watching due to being almost legally blind. I pay for the highest streaming plan cause I love 4k streaming their original programs. Netflix is most likely turning a profit on me despite allowing one other to share especially since I only use it a few times a month.
