nah, the phone can be taken. The example given is phone placed on top of lappy in safe. Once phone sees evidence of tampering (movement, light level change, etc.) it starts taking pics and audio, and sends them to you over a Signal channel, SMS, or.onion host.
This isn't to prevent access to your devices (hard), it is to tattle tale that access has happened (easy).
And this link (Ads for sugared products leading to obesity) is generally accepted as a ground truth of advertising to children. I fully accept the inevitable counter argument of "parenting", but as a parent I will also say, there are times when you cave just to get the kids to STFU and give you a moment of peace.
as an interesting aside to this: As a cord never I haven't seen ads in forever (I only have had cable / uverse when there was zero cost to me). Interestingly this has led me to forgetting that ads are skippable on DVR'd content I may watch elsewhere.
That reminds me... Have casinos banned smart watches yet?
With sensitive accelerometers and haptic feedback it is now possible to use the watch to game many table games.
Case in point, my EE prof as part of his PhD made a wearable computer (in the 80's!) that could improve your odds on any even money bet on the roulette wheel to ~70% (odd/even, Red/black, or High/Low). It was a clunky thing that relied on using a fixed point on the wheel and ball passing a predetermined point on the wheel housing. Tap the switch in your left foot for the ball and right foot for the wheel. A buzzer on your left and right hip would give you the probability (go with whichever was more intense).
He made a deal with a casino: Let him test it and in exchange he'd provide them with the prototype, schematic, and ways to detect it being used. Obviously all winnings/losses were monopoly money at that point.
With today's tech I could see a cell phone being the computer and the watch the I/O and feedback device simply by tapping with a finger and a buzz pattern for output.
Honestly? not much more than the baseline of gambling addicts that do the same chasing "Getting back to even"...
Insolvency is a way of life for a huge swath of the American public, and while I don't know the laws in other countries, I expect anyone who's double (or $DIETY help them triple) leveraged on BTC to be in a country with similar insolvency laws. Anyone who would face a lifetime debt crush if they failed to time the bubble likely is not extended that way into BTC.
This! We have a guy at my office much like you. He gets hit by a truck, we stay in business, but we slip all sorts of deadlines, and likely contractual obligations, and our bug escape count will go way up.
He's a greybeard and greatly valued, but he wants to retire. He gave us a year notice, and he was in a position that if we said "bye" he'd have been fine (bored, but fine). As it is we are grateful for the year's notice and have him advising Jr devs when they get stuck. We're 6 mo in and he's down to 4 days a week (his choice, but good for us as it's driving home the point we need to learn everything we can from him first).
Honestly, if you're that valuable I predict that you will be fine having the "1 year warning" retirement convo, particularly if you approach it with something along the lines of: "I've loved working here, but as I'm sure you can guess I am getting to the age where retirement is looming. I don't want to leave this team in a lurch, so I was thinking about working out a (1yr|6mo|nn week) transition plan where I can mentor a replacement. What do you think about that?"
This puts you in a position of relative power in that they can say okay, or you can leave and they have no choice but to hold the bag. Naturally if you have some trigger that needs to happen, like stock options vesting, wait till *after* the trigger, just in case.
In a reverse version of this I know a guy who knew his value, but when we were bought by Intel he simply didn't want to work for such a big company. He offered a similar resignation, a transition plan, knowledge transfer/training. He was rebuked and told "If you're quitting then we'll have your final paycheck to you plus some severance". 6 months later we were hiring him on a *LUDICHRIST* contract of $20,000 + expenses and $500 per diem for 4 days of work to crash course a group of devs to get past some roadblock.
I had that issue w/ Intel. My Applied Crypto 2nd ed book is still there somewhere. Has my name on it, so I have (very little after 18 months) hope that someone who knows me will see it and get it back to me someday. The value of that one book is vastly lower than the time cost to file a claim, so... ah well.
but they're getting paid for both screens, if you're splitting the bill informally with someone, Netflix doesn't GAF, as long as the card used is good.
My first laser was a xerox. I finally tossed it when I couldn't get it to play nice with a USB to parallel port converter. Bought it in 96? Never had a single issue, no matter how much or little I printed, nor how long between prints.
My recent AIO Samsung color laser was $700 on sale (normally $1k). Full CMYK toner refresh was $450. I print 20mm dungeon tiles often and get pretty decent output counts per toner refill.
Bit steep for a home user to be sure, but it is also a scanner (which I use way more often than I print) and a fax (a what now?) For a SOHO it's a slam dunk.
that last bit is a total non-starter. No one is going to make a RasPi science fair project into a shipping product.
That said, the rest of your post is spot on. reuse the older print tech for the LJ2100 or even the LJ4000 (I *think* that one is out of patent, not sure). Produce the printer for $200-$300 and make the consumables en masse. I think that HPGL is open, and likely a PS implementation would be pretty dang cheap.
$n.nn for two screens $n.nn + $5 or so for 4 screens. Seems pretty dang simple to me. Rather than trying to police the mess that is "is this a shared PWD or is this a mobile user or is this a legit user that moved their cable box for the night?" they just limit concurrent streams to whatever you've paid for.
Your manager/security would go to your cube and collect your items. Again the logic is: Ex Employee may steal company confidential documents.
But here's the thing, we're all professionals, and by treating us like dogs executive management undermined the "Dignity and respect" schick so badly that morale was effectively taken out behind the chemical shed and shot.
An *EASY* way to have handled it: Okay networkboy, is there anything you have at your desk you need, did you want to say bye to anyone? Manager will walk back with you and make sure you get your stuff.
The most insulting part? If you tried leaving with a *SINGLE GOD DAMNED BOX* security informed you that you could not take the box. "Okay, let me just dump this in my trunk" -"I'm sorry we can't let you leave the building with the box"
yup. Also: "Change will be the new normal" Bwahahahahaha The running tagline inside Intel is: "The only constant is change"
As to how this happened? "We want to remember in this time to treat our fellow employees who are leaving with dignity and respect". Followed by the most disrespectful treatment of mass layoff employees ever. We were (most, I had a mole in HR warn me a week ahead) told nothing about who was up for termination, and were tagged by surprise meetings with our manager and HR, scheduled a couple hours before the meeting time (Intel standard is 24 hr advance scheduling of meetings). In that meeting you had your manager and an HR drone. There was paperwork to sign, all the basic shit. After the meeting was done you were *NOT* allowed to go back to your desk to gather anything personal, you were *NOT* allowed to say by to your co-workers, some of whom were more family than your biological family, you were *NOT* allowed to send the traditional "It's been a pleasure" email. You *WERE* frog marched out of the building under the eye of security. Hey BK you asshole: that is *NOT* dignity and respect. Because I understand security, I understand not wanting the employee to have unfettered access after being informed they're terminated, but for fucks sake, let them get their personal effects and say goodbye to their team.
From what I understand morale has not recovered and it's been over 18 months now. Normally morale recovers after 6 months or so. The company lost something in the last layoffs and the heartwood of the tree is dying.
automation is a god-send in this case. Just automate as much of your job as possible and then execute said automation while doing something else that appears productive but is entertaining. E.g. everyone knows what FB looks like in a browser window, but/. just looks like a wall of text, and since you're typing it appears that you're working dutifully, even when the boss sits literally next to you in the open plan office. (use a small browser window, with minimal UI).

True, but...
OpenSSL was full of [assumed] accidental holes.
IOCCC proves it's trivially possible to make those accidental holes intentionally.

The first link I provided had empirical data of increased advertising to children of sugared food products directly correlated with increased obesity.
QED harm.
It's somewhat tangential to what I believe the intent of your question is but:

I was one off but "synergistic leverage" was in the way...

As evidenced by this ridiculous event, no.
absolutely!
My mistake was loaning mine out to a co-worker, forgetting which one, then getting terminated. :P
This!

The real trick is to *appear* competitive, while embracing being a "Loser" https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ and producing enough that your clueless bosses are happy and staying off the sociopath's radar.
