In 1977 Texas Instruments, a recent entry into the market, cut its price for LCD watches to under $10. As a vertically integrated company it could still make a profit - but few of its competitors could. The LCD market began to collapse...
In comparison Seiko had fully automated its watch production, diversified into quartz analogue as well as LCD digital, and continued to innovate with new watch features. In 1979 it bought the now-defunct Pulsar brand. LCD was king.
Throughout the 1980s both Casio and Seiko continued to make LCD watches smarter. In 1980 Casio launched the Game-10 which let you play space invaders, and the C-80 - a calculator watch with a keypad you could actually use!

The US hit back with its own innovation: the digital watch calculator. Pulsar and Hewlett-Packard released models with keypads so small you needed a stylus to operate them. In contrast the 1975 Uranus Calculator watch put its keypad on the bezel!
By 1976 the US had reached peak LCD: over 70 manufacturers were providing digital watches in a wide range of designs - some good, some not so great. But very soon the LCD bubble would burst - and price would be the pin that did it.9

Seiko had been a pioneer of quartz controlled timekeeping: their quartz clocks were used at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. But they were certain that LCD was the wrong technology for watch displays. They preferred liquid crystal displays - more complex but potentially more versatile.
Liquid crystal doesn't emit light but it can block it. Put it between two polarised filters and apply a current and the liquid crustal can create shapes that block out parts of the backlight - shapes like numbers or letters. It's complicated stuff!
Seiko launched their first LCD watch, the 06LC, in 1973. A field-effect liquid crystal display showed six digits of time continuously - you didn't need to press a button. The display wasn't as bright as an LED watch, But it wasn't as expensive.

@LOTRonPrime OH MY GOD I WAS LITERALLY IN A MEETING I RUSHED OUT FOR THIS LETS GOOO
@LOTRonPrime MINAS ANOR AND MINAS ITHIL.

WAIT. IF THIS IS INDEED BEFORE THE FALL OF OSGILIATH THEN THIS IS WAAAAY BEFORE ARAGORN’S BIRTH. OH GOD. MINAS ITHIL BECAME MINAS MORGUL IN THE 2000TH YEAR OF THE THIRD AGE.

WAIT OH GOD.
@LOTRonPrime SO BARAD-DÛR

UNLESS MY MEMORY FAILS ME, IT WAS BUILT APPROX. 2000 YEARS (OR CLOSE) INTO THE SECOND AGE. HOWEVER:
It was destroyed after Sauron’s defeat by The Last Alliance of Men and rebuilt thousands of years later when Sauron returned.

Wow. I'm blown away by the response! I want to echo the point that has been made about how long somebody has played being irrelevant, whether its 20 years, 10 years, or 5 months. I've played with many women and girls over the years and have loved having them at my table!
#playon
I really don't understand the push back. I don't understand the comments I see about girls not being "real nerds" or only playing bc their boyfriend plays or they want cosplay likes or whatever. It's all nonsense. Is it so hard to believe that girls play because they WANT to? smh

I could not be more ashamed of our education system when with one hand we celebrate #WomenInSTEM and with the other we cut their contributions out of our history.
Today I learned that EVERY SINGLE mention of a woman has been removed from the new HSC physics syllabus 1/
A bit of background: A new HSC physics syllabus was introduced in 2018, promising to give students a broad taste of physics and to bring them to university prepared with strong critical thinking skills and technical knowledge 2/
For those unfamiliar with the new syllabus: It more than doubles the number of equations, introduces topics that haven’t been taught for over 15 years and introduces many more experiments 3/

#WomeninSTEM get a lot of “Reply Guys” who repeat the same unhelpful comments.

@shrewshrew and I (a woman & a man in science) have attempted to catalog those replies, to save us all the trouble of writing new responses every time.

presenting THE NINE TYPES OF REPLY GUYS

(1/n)
We will post one Reply Guy a day, and we welcome your thoughts and feedback.

Starting with a very nice fella, full of helpful advice, with one big problem:

Reply Guy #1. THE LIFE COACH
People who get annoying replies can tag the dude with the appropriate Reply Guy from this thread, and save themselves a pointless debate. That’s the idea anyway.

And some guys seem to take it to heart when you point out that they’re being a cliché.

I block concern trolls. Don't bother trying to convince me Q isn't legit and nothing is happening. It only reveals your disingenuous nature & lack of critical thinking skills (or presence of deception, which is it?) If you can't see the show you need new eyes #ByePhoenicia #QAnon
It seems concern trolling contrary to ALL available evidence is the ONLY move these #Hivite losers have left

Doubt for doubt's sake is the ENEMY
Fear for fear's sake is the ENEMY

Logic & critical thinking are your friends
Don't feed the trolls

thread, I think I solved our 'messing with TX problem':

Steele says Gubarev in TX
OK, I just found some rocking proof that Gubarev is Leaseweb and Servers. com here we go:
1. Webzilla and Webazilla are the same.

Konstanin Bezruchenko. Link is for Webzilla, image for Webazilla.
But webazilla and LeaseWeb are also the same. I'm not saying I'm good at this but the 3 points on my myopia were not given up in vain. And ocom is the same too whois.domaintools.com/83.149.88.237

Here's webazilla hosted on webzilla research.domaintools.com/research/hosti…
