Reply to comment by olqerergorp_etereum in Hisense Hi Reader Pro is an Android smartphone with a 6.1 inch E Ink display (pre-order 250$) by giuliomagnifico

Imagine a mobile phone that:

has the power draw of today's chips, but using the old speed (I dunno, 32 mhz?) - same performance, lower power draw, smaller size

has the same battery size as today's phones (more effective battery than the old ones)

has an e-ink display (much better battery life; pretty sure even the passive matrix displays or whatever they were called were less efficient than today's e-ink)

uses only what is needed for calls in terms of radio (no drain from connecting to gps, wifi, 5g, etc. Just regular gsm)

Screen size still tiny (unless there's barely any power draw difference between a 1 inch screen and 4 inch screen on an e-ink)

I dunno if digitizers take a lot of energy, but physical keyboard would be awesome

Anyway, point is, I'd imagine this would be like crazy effective. Even throwing a contemporary battery into an old Nokia would probably make it last like, I dunno, 5x longer. And that's just one change.

Reply to comment by Specific_Tank715 in [EU] as the first gym leader, you'd had enough of going easy on challengers only for them to brag and act tough afterwards. And so, for the upcoming gym season, you decided to make it harder with your best pokemon. Is it uncustomary? Probably. But is it breaking the rules? Only one way to find out. by nohopeforhumanity666

This is straight from the generations movie. Brock asks Ash how badges he has so that he may judge which Pokemon to use.

I guess so. I generally keep to myself and try to survive. A lot of the stuff they fight over doesn't apply to me at all. It's one of the benefits of always being poor and an outsider, I guess.

As an Afghan immigrant, you don't have to care about tax rates or what the Senate can do with the stock market, or whether we're making nuclear fuel vs coal, or whether guns are legal or not, or whatever hot topic we're mad at.

Like when BLM was a thing - even if BLM had won and white on black racism was illegal, well, that still wouldn't affect me because all the races can still be racist against me. And would be even if it was illegal.

The occupy wall street stuff is irrelevant to me because it's not like I'm going to have enough money to do big stocks.

And so on. The financial aid and Obama care were all that were relevant to me, and Obama care ended up not being free insurance, but instead the worst possible alternative: "you have to buy expensive insurance, or else". So unlike before where I could save money by just not buying insurance, I was strong armed into buying insurance (luckily I had a job so I was just my very weak $13/week insurance, but my parents had to buy like a $200/month insurance with like a $9000 deductible - i.e. a monthly fine since how the fuck do you meet a $9000 deductible on $20,000 a year? Don't forget that $2400 of that yearly wage is going toward the $200 monthly fee).

Reply to comment by Pornstar_Jesus_ in TIL In the 1980s, an obscene image was snuck into one of the ice cubes in a Coca-Cola ad in South Australia. The company recalled and destroyed all of the posters, and the artist responsible for the image was fired and sued. by 54_actual

Looking at that picture, I can tell it's subliminal messaging that is designed to trick you to into doing what the company wants. Let's a go.

Reply to comment by Krasker in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower

I think they meant hold down as in like how a leash tied to a tree holds you in place. So down is not right, I agree, but probably meant like you receive self locomotion as a marionette - but the strings keep you in place.
