No, it's just about the dumbest thing I've read today. So far.
They didn't even show how well scrolling works. I suppose that's an indication that it's pretty laggy
Just goes to show many gamers do not infact know what "input" lag is. I've seen the response time a monitor adds called input lag way to many times. And that mostly doesn't in fact include the delay a (wireless) input device might add, or the GPU (with multiple frames in flight) for that matter.
Many mice can scroll sideways by tilting the scroll wheel. If that's something you use often enough, maybe that's something to consider
The premise was that the spouse set the phone clock into the future. That has nothing to do with how accurate the RTC is (usually <10s/day)
No. Many certificates are only valid for a couple months to years into the future. Many websites wont work if you set your system time to +5 years, because most certificates won't be valid for that time.
Funny thing, you probably couldn't actually. None of the current TLS certificates would be valid in a couple of years
Well yeah, if this picture came with the mint logo it would have perspective correction applied
From my experience, it works something like this:
The butt is pretty dark, so you're brain takes a little more time to make a coherent image out of it (think of it like averaging what you see over a short time). This is amplified by the fact that while the center of your eye is better at seeing color, it's worse at seeing in the dark.
So essentially you're tracking the butt (blue: worst color vision when dark) with the center of your eye (slow) which isn't seeing the movement of your phone (yet) while you see the white move immediately because it's brighter and not in the center. Normally you wouldn't notice the difference in speed, but when both effects are combined it is large enough to notice. It also works best in a dark room with the screen brightness on low, probably.
TLDR: you see slow when dark and blue and center
Do it on your phone
I've honestly never seen any of those on a beach, neither on natural nor on managed touristy ones
It looks like it's supposed to resemble a flower, if the other thing is intentional, I'd hope not.
