Vos travaux sont finis, votre logement est prêt… et maintenant ? Dans cet épisode d'été, Sammy et Anaïs reprennent les bases et déroulent, étape par étape, tout ce qu'il faut faire pour lancer son premier Airbnb : de la conformité légale jusqu'à la première réservation.On commence par l'administratif : numéro SIRET via l'INPI, déclaration de meublé de tourisme en mairie, numéro d'enregistrement (toutes les mairies ne sont pas encore équipées) et surtout l'assurance PNO qui couvre la location courte durée, la base de la base. Anaïs insiste aussi sur l'intérêt d'une assurance dégâts matériels en complément de l'AirCover, parce qu'il ne faut jamais se cantonner à Airbnb.Puis place au concret : tester tous ses équipements (allumer four, plaques, télé en même temps pour vérifier le compteur), dormir une nuit sur place, prévoir un triple jeu de linge, les consommables (café, thé, sucre, huile, vinaigre, éponges lavables, PQ neuf) et les petites attentions. Anaïs raconte son test de l'été : arrêter les cadeaux faute de remerciements, tandis que Sammy défend le « donner le max » sur les premières réservations pour viser les 5 étoiles.Côté annonce : créer son Airbnb (simple et intuitif), remplir chaque item, soigner le titre avec les bons mots-clés (clim, piscine, jacuzzi…), choisir un nom mémorable comme une marque, légender les photos et travailler les 3 premières photos décisives — idéalement avec un photographe immobilier. Enfin, la diffusion : publier sans masquer l'annonce, paramétrer les prix et promotions, brancher PriceLabs, vérifier sa visibilité, puis dupliquer sur Booking (Anaïs attend 3 semaines à 1 mois, Sammy quelques jours) et un site web. Messages automatiques, Channel Manager, vente d'extras : un vrai mode d'emploi du lancement.
Many of the physical changes that come with pregnancy can put stress on your back and lead to pain or discomfort. Back pain during pregnancy is almost always lower back pain, and it falls into one of three categories: lumbar spine pain, posterior pelvic pain, or a combination of the two. It is incredibly common, and the likelihood only goes up as your pregnancy progresses. Still, common does not mean you have to suffer through it. This episode breaks down why back pain happens during pregnancy, how to prevent it, and the evidence-based tools and treatments that can bring you relief, from simple daily habits to hands-on therapies and medication considerations.

Rejoins l'Académie des Gros Billets 2.0 pour devenir un investisseur augmenté *bonus early bird jusqu'au dimanche 19 juillet minuit * : 11 formations + livre audio, 215+ chapitres, https://www.grosbillets.com/academie Est-ce qu'une voiture est forcément un gouffre financier ? Pas si on l'aborde avec une mentalité d'investisseur chevronné. Dans cet épisode, je vous dévoile la stratégie précise que j'applique depuis 10 ans pour rouler en Allemande : Audi, Porsche ou Mini à coût quasi nul, voire en dégageant une plus-value. L'idée est simple : on ne cherche pas une voiture, on cherche un marché.
In today's Daily Fix:A report from ZDNet says Nintendo is already considering a Switch 2 OLED model, but is hesitant over the price. An OLED panel would be an improvement over the current Switch 2's LCD screen, but would cost more. The ongoing hardware component crisis is also a factor, which has forced Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft to raise prices on their current-gen consoles post-launch. In other news, fans may have criticized Ubisoft for their DLC plans for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, but that didn't stop gamers from buying them. The company has made an extra $1 million on Steam from sales of the game's DLC items. And in related news, hundreds of employees across several studios are being laid off, including those at Ubisoft's support studio in Barcelona, which had worked on Black Flag Resynced.
Showplace en location courte durée : 14 000 loueurs inscrits, plus de 100 000 hébergements et 5 services 100% gratuits. Produits de marque offerts, remises exclusives (Castorama -10%, La Redoute, LG, Dodo), livret d'accueil digital illimité, boutique en ligne pour vendre des extras à 5% de commission, et offres voyageurs rémunérées. Anaïs utilise Showplace depuis 2 ans et reçoit Félix, co-fondateur, pour décortiquer comment ça marche et pourquoi c'est gratuit.Félix et son associé Patrick ont créé Showplace en 2022 en s'inspirant d'un concept américain : installer des produits de marque dans des locations courte durée avec des présentoirs QR code. L'idée : les loueurs sont des influenceurs d'achat naturels, chaque logement est un mini showroom où des centaines de voyageurs testent des produits chaque année. Les marques paient Showplace pour accéder à ce réseau, et les loueurs bénéficient de tout gratuitement.Anaïs partage son expérience concrète : une campagne de vins de Blaye avec des bouteilles offertes à chaque voyageur pendant tout un été, des remises Castorama à -10% (contre 6% avec la carte pro Leroy Merlin), et surtout la boutique en ligne Showplace qu'elle utilise pour ses propriétaires en conciergerie digitale. Ses extras les plus vendus : arrivées anticipées, départs tardifs, décors romantiques, nounours en rose, roses éternelles, coffrets de bain, plateaux apéro et dîners traiteur. Chaque propriétaire gère sa propre boutique en autonomie et Anaïs intègre simplement le lien dans les messages d'accueil.Si tu es loueur ou conciergerie en location courte durée et que tu ne connais pas encore Showplace, cet épisode va te montrer comment faire des économies immédiates et générer des revenus supplémentaires sans effort, avec un écosystème 100% gratuit utilisé par plus de 100 000 hébergements en France.
Réservations Airbnb en été : Sammy est à 50 % de remplissage pour juillet et 30 % pour août alors que d'habitude il tourne à 70-80 %. Anaïs finit juin à 60 % de taux de remplissage. Les négociations de prix explosent, les annulations pour canicule s'enchaînent, et les réservations de dernière minute deviennent la norme. Alors, on panique ou on s'adapte ?Dans cet épisode spontané enregistré en voiture entre Bordeaux et le Futuroscope, Sammy et Anaïs partagent leurs chiffres réels de l'été et décortiquent ce qui se passe sur le marché. Le rapport annuel Smobu et le Discover de Booking confirment la tendance : les séjours sont de plus en plus courts, la réservation de dernière minute est devenue la norme, et le samedi-samedi en 7 nuits minimum ne fonctionne plus.Anaïs détaille comment elle est passée de 600 € la semaine en samedi-samedi à plus de 1 000 € par semaine en cassant la règle des 7 nuits sur le même logement au bassin d'Arcachon. Elle explique sa stratégie PriceLabs de nuitées minimum dégressives à mesure que la date approche. Sammy et Anaïs abordent aussi les annulations en période de canicule, l'importance de la climatisation comme investissement, le système de rafraîchisseur d'air comme solution d'urgence, et l'astuce revenue management de bloquer les arrivées pour forcer les week-ends complets autour des jours fériés.Que tu sois en pleine panique de remplissage ou que tu veuilles anticiper la fin de l'été, cet épisode terrain te donne les leviers concrets pour débloquer des réservations en location courte durée sans brader tes prix.
Sunlight comes with both benefits and risks, and pregnancy adds a few extra considerations to both. Some of the upside is real. Your body makes vitamin D from sunlight. There is evidence that the sun lifts your mood. Getting exposure to sunlight at the right times of day even helps your sleep. On the flip side, UV light damages the DNA in your skin cells, which raises your risk of skin cancer and speeds up aging. Pregnancy hormones can also change your skin and how it reacts to the sun. This episode walks through sun safety during pregnancy so you can enjoy the benefits while protecting yourself and your baby. Find out how to pick a pregnancy-safe sunscreen, what to know about tanning beds and sunless tanners, and what is considered safe sun exposure for your newborn.

Love room et tarification dynamique PriceLabs : une love room classique rapporte en moyenne 170€ la nuit et 2 000-2 500€ par mois. Une love room immersive peut atteindre 300€ la nuit et 4 500 à 5 000€ mensuels. Mais pour atteindre ces chiffres, il faut paramétrer PriceLabs différemment d'un logement classique — parce que l'outil ne détecte pas qu'un logement est atypique.Anaïs, qui gère des love rooms et logements atypiques dans toute la France avec sa conciergerie digitale, reçoit Valentin Switching, consultant PriceLabs, pour décortiquer les 5 réglages essentiels : le prix de base (à déterminer soi-même, pas par l'outil), les prix minimum multiples (semaine, week-end, dernière minute et dates lointaines), les profils saisonniers pour la Saint-Valentin et les ponts de mai, l'ajustement des prix par jour de la semaine (+20% le samedi, -10% à -15% en semaine) et la configuration des concurrents dans les données sur le quartier.Anaïs partage aussi ses chiffres personnels sur 5 ans : un RevPAN passé de 40€ à 80€ la nuit, un chiffre d'affaires de 14 000€ à 23 000€ par an sur un seul logement, et une anecdote sur une réservation à 700€ les 3 nuits où elle n'a pas assumé le prix. Valentin explique pourquoi laisser PriceLabs comparer une love room au marché standard revient à sous-valoriser massivement son bien, et comment le support PriceLabs (24h/24, 7j/7) peut aider à configurer un échantillon de concurrents adaptés aux logements atypiques.Que tu gères une love room, un bain nordique, une cabane ou tout logement qui vend une expérience plutôt qu'un hébergement, cet épisode te donne le paramétrage exact pour optimiser tes revenus avec PriceLabs sans brader tes prix.
La sous-location professionnelle, on te la vend souvent comme l'eldorado. Nicolas d'AutomaticBNB, qui en vit avec 20 sous-locations, dit l'inverse : c'est un formidable levier pour générer du cash sans passer par la banque, mais ce n'est pas une destination. C'est un tremplin.Dans cet épisode, Sammy reçoit Nicolas (AutomaticBNB) et Anaïs (IVONA) pour parler de la sous-location professionnelle sans filtre. Tu vas comprendre comment sous-louer légalement un bien à un propriétaire pour l'exploiter en location courte durée, pourquoi cette activité permet de contourner le système bancaire, et comment le cash dégagé augmente tes revenus, ton épargne et tes bilans, exactement les trois leviers qu'une banque regarde pour t'accorder un crédit. Sammy raconte sa propre sous-location près d'un grand parc d'attractions : un T3 loué 680 € qui génère entre 3 000 et 4 000 € de chiffre d'affaires par mois, et qui a clairement pesé dans le financement de ses deux derniers achats immobiliers.Nicolas partage aussi sa méthode de prospection étape par étape pour convaincre un propriétaire (le vrai point de blocage de l'activité), la règle de rentabilité du x2,5 minimum, et la flexibilité du bail de sous-location professionnelle. Mais le cœur de l'épisode, c'est sa franchise : monté jusqu'à 30 sous-locations, il est redescendu à 20 parce que c'était devenu une prison dorée. Parce que le jour où tu arrêtes, il ne reste rien : la sous-location ne crée aucun patrimoine. Que tu sois en location meublée de tourisme, en conciergerie ou propriétaire qui veut développer son parc, cet épisode te donne la vision juste : utiliser la sous-location pour bâtir, pas pour s'enfermer.
I opened with a "mini-rant" about the frustrations of the USB-C ecosystem and aparent power requirement issues with a new Acer USB-C external LCD display. We also observed possible tangible effects of "AI scarcity," noting that Google Meet recordings and Alexa Plus responses are taking significantly longer to process, likely due to the processing demands of modern AI models. This scarcity sparked a conversation on new social norms in the AI age, specifically regarding the etiquette of AI agents (like Read.ai) attending meetings and the "cat-and-mouse game" of recording lights on smart glasses. Jon shared a major shift in his productivity workflow by moving to Obsidian, a "Swiss Army knife" of note-taking. By using Codex to convert 20 years of WordPress entries and Day One journals into Markdown files, he has created a future-proof, portable "vault" that avoids proprietary databases. We also discussed the release of Android 17, which introduced an interesting "Screen Reactions" overlay feature but also caused frustration by resetting permissions for tablet casting and photo galleries. To wrap up, Jon provided a field report on his DJI Neo 2 drone, which successfully tracked him during a 20mph e-bike ride. Despite suffering its first high-speed crash into a tree, the lightweight drone proved remarkably durable, surviving the impact with no visible damage. We also touched on a few tech trends, including Gen Z's growing rejection of Silicon Valley's vision in favor of "dumb" tech like flip phones and repaired iPods

Réseau conciergerie location courte durée : Chris, co-fondateur de Placid Immo, ouvre les portes de son modèle hybride sous-location et conciergerie dans cet épisode terrain tourné au Futuroscope. Il gère 30 franchisés, dépasse les 400 biens en national et vient de signer un contrat de 300 000 € avec Dassault sur 10 appartements.Sammy visite le logement pirate en plein chantier, 56 m², acheté 85 000 €, 30 000 € de travaux, mensualité de 800 € pour un chiffre d'affaires entre 3 000 et 4 000 € par mois. On découvre aussi l'appartement Lego en sous-location à 680 €/mois qui génère 3 500 € de CA mensuel. Chris détaille pourquoi 80 % de taux d'occupation est le sweet spot, pourquoi au-dessus de 90 % tu es probablement sous-tarifé, et comment la clientèle professionnelle en moyenne durée transforme la rentabilité d'une conciergerie.L'épisode entre dans le détail concret de la structuration : PMS, revenue manager, CRM spécialisé location courte durée, assurance cover avec le système de damage waiver (15-20 € payés par le voyageur à la place de la caution), et les ventes additionnelles qui restent dans la poche du concierge. Chris explique que rejoindre le réseau Placid Immo représente en moyenne -37 % sur l'ensemble des logiciels par rapport à une conciergerie isolée, et que la moitié des conciergeries ferment à 3 ans par manque de structuration ou de rentabilité.Que tu sois conciergerie en solo qui cherche à se structurer, investisseur LCD qui veut comprendre le modèle réseau, ou porteur de projet en reconversion, cet épisode te montre concrètement ce que signifie passer d'artisan à professionnel en location courte durée.
Are we living in the golden age of pinball right now? In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest questions in the pinball hobby: is modern pinball better than ever, or are we just caught up in the moment? I also talk about how my own perspective might be shaped by when I entered the hobby. I got into pinball around 5–6 years ago, so the era of modern Stern, Jersey Jack Pinball, Chicago Gaming, Spooky Pinball, American Pinball, and all of these new releases has been my “normal.” But for veteran players who grew up on EMs, solid-state games, or the classic Bally/Williams era, the golden age of pinball might mean something completely different. We discuss the moving scale of nostalgia, why every generation of players may see “their era” as the best, and whether some longtime pinball fans have evolved with modern pinball — or if modern rules, deeper code, LCD screens, licensed themes, and complex modes have changed the hobby too much for some players. From classic pinball machines to today's feature-packed games, we ask the big question: are we actually in the golden age of pinball… or will we only realize it years from now? Drop a comment and let me know: what do YOU think is the true golden age of pinball? Looking to Buy a New or Used Pinball Machine?

Vitamin D in pregnancy is one of those topics that sounds simple, but the details really matter. You use this essential vitamin in nearly every part of your body, and your baby depends entirely on you to supply it. The problem is that most pregnant moms do not get enough. Deficiency is incredibly common, and it is linked to a higher risk of complications like preeclampsia. To make things more confusing, most prenatal vitamins contain far less vitamin D than the evidence suggests you need during pregnancy. In this episode, we break down what vitamin D actually does, why deficiency is so widespread, how much you really need, and the simplest ways to make sure you and your baby are getting enough.

On today's show we look at some AppleTV and Home announcements from the Apple WWDC and look at what that fuss is about the new Sony's True RGB TVs. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Households Used More Than 10 Video Services Daily Google Rolls Out a Major Update to Its Google TV Streamer 4k Apple TV from Apple's WWDC 2026 Key takeaways for Apple TV from Apple's WWDC 2026 are relatively modest and software-focused, as the event emphasized iOS 27. tvOS 27 Highlights for Apple TV Larger Text / System-Wide Text Size Adjustment: A new accessibility option lets users increase on-screen text size across supported apps and the interface. AI-Generated / On-Device Subtitles: tvOS 27 adds real-time automatic subtitle generation for videos lacking built-in captions (including personal content). Other Refinements: Expect Liquid Glass UI polish, performance/stability improvements, smarter recommendations, and better smart home/HomeKit ties. Siri upgrades (more conversational, on-screen awareness) should improve voice control on Apple TV, though full Apple Intelligence features may wait for new hardware. tvOS 27 developer betas are available now post-keynote, with public release expected in fall 2026 alongside other OS updates. As far as the Apple Home app goes, updates mainly dealt with Apple Intelligence integration for smarter camera handling and notifications: The Home app now uses Apple Intelligence to generate natural language descriptions of compatible camera footage, letting you search clips conversationally by saying something like, "show me when the dog was in the backyard" Smarter batched notifications that feel less overwhelming. Alerts are intelligently grouped and dynamic instead of constant floods. Accessory updates update in real-time as conditions change. With deeper Siri AI and Shortcuts integration you can describe automations in natural language and let Siri build them (including Home shortcuts). Voice control becomes more conversational and context-aware. Hardware Notes No new Apple TV 4K hardware was announced at WWDC (consistent with expectations). A refreshed model with A17 Pro (or similar) for full Apple Intelligence/Siri 2.0 support, better smart home capabilities, and possibly Wi-Fi 7 has been "ready for months" but is being held for later in 2026 to align with the advanced AI features. What is Sony's True RGB TV All About? Sony's True RGB is Sony's marketing name for their advanced RGB Mini-LED backlight technology, introduced in 2026 for high-end BRAVIA TVs the BRAVIA 9 II and BRAVIA 7 II series. How True RGB Works Traditional Mini-LED or QLED TVs typically use white or blue LEDs as the backlight, then pass that light through color filters or Quantum Dots to create colors. This filtering process can reduce color purity, brightness, and efficiency. Sony's True RGB technology takes a different approach by using tiny independent red, green, and blue (RGB) LEDs in the backlight, with each color LED controllable separately across thousands or even millions of local dimming zones, generating color directly at the light source before it reaches the LCD layer rather than filtering white light. Sony's True RGB technology delivers purer and more accurate colors with a significantly wider color volume and gamut, higher peak brightness while maintaining excellent color accuracy, superior contrast and black levels that can challenge OLED performance in certain scenarios, improved energy efficiency through smart power distribution algorithms that use less power than previous generations, and outstanding off-angle viewing with minimal color shift. Key Advantages Sony Highlights Sony's True RGB technology delivers true-to-source color accuracy, backed by the company's deep professional monitor expertise and decades of innovation in RGB technology dating back to the groundbreaking 2004 QUALIA series. This is powered by advanced RGB Backlight Master Drive processing that expertly manages the immense complexity of controlling millions of individual colored diodes in real time. Overall, it successfully combines the best of Mini-LED brightness with near-OLED levels of color performance and contrast. In short, True RGB is Sony's premium implementation of direct RGB Mini-LED backlighting. Sony emphasizes not just the hardware (RGB LEDs), but their proprietary optical design, drivers, and image processing to make it perform better than competing RGB LED TVs from other brands. Sony True RGB Models with Pricing (2026 Lineup) Prices are MSRP/launch pricing (as of mid-2026; actual street prices and sales vary by retailer like Best Buy, Crutchfield, or Sony's site). Larger sizes command big premiums. BRAVIA 7 II - more accessible entry into True RGB, excellent color and brightness for the price 50" — ~$1,600 55" — ~$2,100 65" — ~$2,600 75" — ~$3,100 85" — ~$4,000 98" — ~$9,000 BRAVIA 9 II - higher brightness, more advanced processing, better anti-glare, and local dimming performance 65" — ~$3,600 75" — ~$4,600 85" — ~$6,500 115" — ~$31,000 (a massive premium flagship option)

Conciergerie Airbnb vue par des enfants de 6 ans : on a posé le micro devant Lior et Samuel pour leur demander ce qu'ils pensent de nos métiers en location courte durée. Leurs réponses sont à la fois hilarantes et étonnamment lucides.Pour Lior (fils d'Anaïs), la conciergerie c'est simple : « louer des maisons ». Et c'est facile. Il sait définir un Airbnb (« un petit appartement pour passer des moments ensemble ») et il veut même devenir concierge plus tard. Samuel (fils de Sammy) résume le métier de son père en un mot : « tout ». Il connaît les travaux du logement thématique pirate, et surtout il sait que « maman veut pas qu'il fasse d'autres logements ».C'est un épisode bonus, court et sans filtre, avec les aléas du direct : interruptions, fous rires et pétage dans le micro inclus. Un moment authentique qui montre l'envers du décor familial quand on vit de la location courte durée.

In today's Daily Fix:CD Projekt RED has made it official: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting (at least) one more expansion in the form of Songs of the Past. It's scheduled for release in 2027 and is the third major DLC for The Witcher 3, coming about 11 years after the last expansion, Blood and Wine. This should hold fans over while they wait for The Witcher 4, which currently has no release date. In other open-world RPG news, Warhorse Studios teased their upcoming Lord of the Rings game, and reassured fans of their Kingdom Come: Deliverance games that the LOTR RPG will be similar to those. And finally, Valve is not immune to the global economic situation as they have now raised the price of the Steam Deck OLED models. The 1tb and 512gb models will go up around $230-$300 depending on the hard drive space. The original LCD models appear to have been unaffected (for now).Thinking of coming to IGN Live 2026?

A birth center sits in the middle ground between a home birth and a hospital. You get a home-like setting and midwife-led care built around a low-intervention birth. A birth center is not the right fit for every pregnancy, and it is not the right choice for everyone who is eligible. It is, however, an option that many expecting parents never seriously consider. Part of that is that a birth center is less familiar than a hospital. There are also many misconceptions about what the experience is like and how safe it is. Whether you are curious about a birth center, weighing it against a hospital or home birth, or want to understand all of your options, this episode walks through what makes a birth center distinct. It also covers what to expect from your first prenatal visit through going home, your options for pain management, and the evidence on safety and outcomes.

Finally! A fifth version of the Lylat Wars is coming to Nintendo Switch 2! Well, I guess it's the sixth if you count that LCD watch from Kellogg's brand cereals that you could get in the mail in 1993. However, nobody's going to need to eat a big bowl of cornflakes to repress their self-pleasuring inclinations when it comes to these character designs.
In this episode, we take a closer look at the MOKiN 17-in-1 USB-C Docking Station, a Windows-focused hub priced at $79.99 that aims to consolidate your desktop setup. The dock offers extensive multi-display support with three HDMI and two DisplayPort outputs capable of driving up to three independent 4K displays at 60Hz, though extended desktop functionality is limited to Windows systems. Beyond video, it packs a comprehensive port selection including 10Gbps and 5Gbps USB-C and USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD card readers, and a 3.5mm audio jack. A distinguishing feature is its integrated LCD screen that displays real-time charging wattage, connected display resolutions, port status, and local weather via built-in Wi-Fi. The dock supports up to 85W laptop charging pass-through from a 100W input, though the power adapter is sold separately. Additional touches include a double-tap privacy button to disable screens, silicone suction feet for stability, and LED status indicators. With a two-year warranty and compatibility across Dell, HP, Lenovo, and other USB-C laptops with Thunderbolt 3/4 support, it positions itself as a mid-range option for users seeking a feature-dense workstation hub.

Discover how indie developer Dani Devesa Derksen-Staats created RetroRapid, an accessible retro racing game, and Xarra, a flexible reading and listening app. Learn how thoughtful design, multiple input methods, and community feedback can shape more inclusive experiences across Apple devices. Shaun Preece talks to Dani Devesa Derksen-Staats, an indie developer based in London, about his transition from working at the BBC to building accessibility-focused apps in his spare time. His latest projects highlight how inclusive design can be applied across both gaming and productivity tools. RetroRapid is a retro LCD-style racing game available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Originally a side project, it evolved into a fully released title following feedback at the ARCtic conference. The game was designed with accessibility in mind, supporting multiple input methods including taps, swipes, keyboards, game controllers, and the Apple Watch Digital Crown. Dani explains how audio cues—assigning musical notes to each lane—help players build a mental map of the road, alongside haptic feedback and direct touch controls. Community feedback from AppleVis also played a key role in refining the experience. Dani also introduces Xarra, a newly launched app designed to support reading and focus. It allows users to import text, PDFs, and web content, combining audio playback with synchronised on-screen highlighting at line or word level. Built with accessibility at its core, Xarra supports VoiceOver, Switch Control, Full Keyboard Access, and Voice Control, while preserving image descriptions in audio. It also uses Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models to convert code blocks into natural language when listening to technical content.

Getting stuck in a small Town on Nude Day, turns interesting.Based on a post by m storyman x, in 2 parts. Listen to the ►podcast at Steamy Stories.Owning a consulting business has its advantages. Over the years I had been quite successful and enjoyed a few perks for that success. I was enjoying one of them, flying to a consulting job in my Cessna 350 Corvallis, when a fantastic series of events was set in motion. I could never afford such an expensive plane, but after performing several hundred hours of independent testing on it, as part of a law suit, they sold the state of the art craft to me for a single dollar. Car type bucket seats and fly by wire technology made it one of the most comfortable planes I had ever flown.Amanda, a professional photographer that I had used a number of times on jobs like the one we were traveling to; seemed to also enjoy the comfort of this plane compared to the old 172 I used to fly.I felt the first shudder in the engine while I was busy sneaking a peek at Amanda’s legs. With her lounging sleepily in the bucket seat next to me, her already short skirt had ridden up a couple more inches, and the rising sun was just brightening the inside of the cockpit enough for me to really see just how much leg she was unknowingly showing. In fact, if I caught the reflection in the LCD screen just right, I could almost see up between her legs to the light colored panties she wore. Yeah, I knew I was almost twice her age, but hell, she was hot and I was Always horny. How could I not look?The second shudder really got my attention, and I went to work in the cockpit; all thought of her panty color and legs leaving my mind as it went into immediate troubleshooting mode.I knew the electronics of this craft inside out, having done so much testing on the fly by wire during the legal suit. It only took a few moments to check and confirm that the dual ignition system of the fuel injected six cylinder engine was working as designed. We were cruising at nearly one hundred eighty knots, and everything seemed ok. But that second shudder had me on edge. I did not miss the third time it shuddered, just as I was in the middle of checking the fuel system. I caught it in the act. It was just a fluke that I happened to be looking right at the fuel pressure read out when it did it. Just for a moment, it blinked lower. Not a lot, a few pounds, but it was enough to set every alarm bell I had ringing. This baby needed to be on the ground and Now!I gave Amanda an unceremonious, almost rude, shove with my hand before I set to work hitting the GPS navigation system for the closest airfield. “Tighten your belts, we’re setting down.” I practically growled as my mind went through emergency modes and check lists. I had filed a Visual Flight Rules route plan so I didn’t need to contact a controller, but just to be safe I punched in 7700 into my transponder and hit the ident key. The response to my emergency code was almost immediate, Kansas City flight following had me on the radio in seconds asking my emergency. After several terse exchanges with them, they recommended we proceed to Kansas City International for an emergency procedure landing. I was just about to make that turn when the engine tone changed. Air speed quickly started to fall as the engine RPM tailed off to a little more than an idle.“Negative KC Center. Looks like I just lost power.” I responded as my fingers started working the GPS system to find the closest airport. It was tiny, some little ‘burg called Milan. I’d never heard of it, but it had a strip. I tipped the wings over and started dropping at nearly a thousand feet per minute; hoping that what little power the engine had would hang on until I could get the wheels on the ground.In the early dawn morning it was hard to pick out, but with a little help from the GPS pointers I was able to find the single strip of the small airport, sitting just outside what looked like a very small town. KC Center acknowledged my plans and stayed with me until I was out of radar contact, only a thousand feet off the ground. It wasn’t my finest landing, but given that I only had one shot at it, I thought it was pretty damn good. The engine had just enough power to idle off the runway and onto a taxiway before it quit completely. But that was ok…we were down.The airport was small, and to be honest, looked pretty deserted; and the air felt like stepping into a furnace when I popped the door open. “Looks like we have to walk.” I said to Amanda as I stepped out and gingerly off the wing. Even for a mid-July morning it seemed oppressively hot.“Well, I suppose I can charge you mileage!” She joked as she unfolded her slim frame barefoot onto the wing. She closed the door and sat down on the smooth aluminum surface to put her high heels back onto her feet while I shook my head at her good looking, but less than functional, footwear. She slid down the smooth metal of the wing and allowed me to catch her before her feet hit the ground, the edge of the wing catching her skirt and pulling it up as she slid off. I only got a glimpse of her cream colored panties before she pulled her skirt back down and blushed a bright red. “Oops. Sorry about that.” She almost whispered.“Not a problem. Last time I checked I still liked looking at beautiful women’s panties. Especially if they were still in them!” I responded jokingly, which only made her blush even more.It was a fairly long walk from where the plane decided to park itself, to the office complex of the small airport. It didn’t take much looking around to find out that there was a mechanics office, but that Freddie was in town and didn’t work on Wednesdays. That was just great! Freddie didn’t leave a phone number either, but did leave the address of his shop in town. I figured maybe we could talk him into making an emergency repair.Using my i-phone I looked up the address and found that it was only a couple miles from the airstrip. A quick call confirmed that it was still too early for Freddie to be there. It was going to be a warm walk into town, but then it was better than sitting out here and roasting. After a short consultation with Amanda, we decided to trek into town and see if we could track down Freddie.City CaféIt was still early as we approached the small town, and it showed. The streets were deserted except for a few cars passing by. We found the address of Freddie’s shop, but it was still locked up. I decided some breakfast might be in order and the only thing that looked open was a small diner across the street.“Looks like breakfast!” I said as I led Amanda across the still empty road and entered the tiny diner. To say I was shocked would have been the biggest understatement in the book. There were a number of people sitting around eating, all naked! It looked like a nudist convention. But you could have knocked me over with a feather when the waitress came out of the kitchen with a tray of dishes, and not a stitch of clothing on.“Be right with you!” She said as she turned and bent to put the dishes down, her easily double D tits swinging enticingly. She turned back and walked up with a smile on her face and only a tiny apron around her waist that failed to completely cover the junction of her legs. “So I take it your new in town?” She asked, looking past us toward where our car might be parked, if we had one.“Would you like a booth?” She asked cheerily.“Yeah, actually we would.” I answered, after which she led us to a booth toward the rear that was a bit less in the line of site of the windows and most of the other patrons.“Um, Yeah. Did we come at a bad time?” I asked, looking around at the naked patrons.“Nope, it’s the fourteenth.” She said as if it explained everything.“And that means?” I asked, cocking my head and lifting my shoulders to encourage her to explain.“Oh. Yeah. I guess you're not from here. It's a City ordinance. No clothes in public for National Nude day, unless of course you are from out of town. We can’t force you visitors to participate, but everyone in town does, or they stay home.” She said with a smile and a shrug. “I can loan you a bag for your clothes if you want.” She said, as she set our table with cutlery and menues. She was also eyeing the growing bulge in my pants, as I watched her absolutely fantastic tits jiggle over our table.“Just so I understand, everyone in town goes nude? And this happens why?” I asked.“National Nude Day. The whole town had a say in it and we decided to make it a town holiday. Some of the townsfolk floated the idea as a joke. Me and a few others called their bluff. It's been that way a few years now. Everybody seems to like it. E used to set it for the actual day that the rest of the nation observes, but the town just turned into a traffic jam and our residents became internet fodder. So now we have a town committee setting a random summer day, and only give a 48 hour notice. The result is really good for business, since a lot of travelers come here hoping to get lucky, and patronizing the businesses all summer long.”“I can see why.” I said looking around at the mostly male population of the diner and thinking that most of them were probably not here for the food.“Here you go” she said, handing us our menus. “And really, I’d be happy to loan you a sack for your clothes. I mean if you want to take them off and all.” She said with a wink. “I’ll be back in a sec with menus.”True to her word she was back in a few moments to take our orders, and if I was any judge, her tiny apron hiked up a tad more. From my seated position I could easily see her shaved mound, complete with a tiny blue butterfly tattoo. As she set down the menus she stepped her feet slightly apart, allowing me to see her protruding lips, which to my experienced eye, looked like they had been freshly stroked. My attention was temporarily fixed on her glistening lips until she bent over to place silver wear on the table and her large tits hung literally inches from my face.“So what can I interest you in to drink? Coffee, juice, milk?” She asked, pulling her little pad out of the tiny apron.“I think some Orange Juice.” Amanda said, her voice clearly displaying her nervousness.“Actually I’ve always been a milk lover.” I said with a smile.“I’m sure I can find you a nice tall glass.” The waitress said with a smile, turning to walk off, allowing her cute ass to wiggle seductively as she headed toward the kitchen.“Seems like a nice young lady.” I said to Amanda as I opened the menu. “What do you think?”“I’m not sure I could go around naked all day.” She replied as she looked around the small diner.“Why not. You’re a very good looking woman. You have nothing to be ashamed of.”“Like you’re going to run around naked?” She answered with a smirk.“Sure, why not?” I answered.“I’ve worked for you for how long now? Five years? I think I know you pretty well, and the way you were checking out that waitress you’ve got to be hard as hell. You sure you want to show that off to everyone who looks your way?” She chided with a grin, her directness surprising me.“Oh? Sounds like you’ve been watching me when I wasn’t looking.”“Why not? Are you going to tell me you didn’t notice how far my skirt was hiked up in the plane? Come on, I’m not that naive. I know you like me wearing these skirts. I just prefer to keep my sexual activities a bit more private.”“Well, if that’s how you feel. I dare you to strip for me.” I said, wondering if she really would.“Sure. Like I’m going to run around naked? Fat chance.”“That’s a shame.” The waitress said as she set two glasses on the table, the smell of turned on cunt clearly evident as she stood close to me. “You look cute. You might find it fun to go naked like this. It’s kind of a turn on actually.”“I’m not sure I can actually go naked in front of strange men.” Amanda replied.“You should try it. It’s actually kind of fun to tease them.”“Aren’t you afraid of getting molested?” Amanda asked her seriously.“Hasn’t happened yet. Besides these old geezers come in every year to watch me. It’s kind of fun to see what they will come up with next to get me to do something with them. I never will, but they don’t know that.” The waitress said with a smile. “So how about it? You two going to join us?”“Oh, I don’t know.” Amanda whispered.“Ok. Why don’t I get your order and in the meantime you can think about it!” The waitress said, smiling at me sweetly.“Well, I’ll have the ham and eggs, over easy, white toast.” I told her as she scribbled on the pad.“And you miss?” She asked looking at Amanda.“I think the biscuits and gravy look pretty good.”“Good choice. I’ll be back in a few minutes with your food. And if you change your mind you can use the ladies room to undress, you may find that more comfortable.” The waitress said as she turned and headed for the kitchen.“Might as well, Amanda. Never going to get a chance like this again.” I teased.“Let’s admit it; you just want to see me naked!” She shot back at me with a frown. “Sure why not? Besides, didn’t you just tell me a little while ago you’ve been intentionally wearing sexy stuff just to tease me? Just think how much of a tease this will be!”“Ok, hot shot. I will if you will. But you gotta strip, right here, first! Let’s see how cocky you are when you have to show off that boner!”“So I get up and undress, and then you do? No running to the bathroom and hiding?” I said with a crooked smile.“Um, Yep.” She sighed realizing that she had walked directly into a trap.“Ok! You’re on!” I said, sliding out of the booth and standing up. I was just pulling my shirt tail out of my pants when the waitress came back.“Oh; decided to join me?” She asked with a smile.Seems that way.“ I answered as I turned to face her."Well, in that case, let me.” She said, reaching out for my shirt and pulling it up and over my head. She tossed it onto the bench seat of the booth and then stepped closer. “This will drive those old geezers nuts.” She whispered as she placed her hand on my hard cock and rubbed it through my pants. She stroked me with one hand while the other deftly undid my belt, and the button of my pants. Her hand moved long enough to unzip my pants and then slid inside them, rubbing my increasingly hard cock through my underwear as she pushed my pants down.“Nice.” She said as she crouched down, bringing her face level with my underwear clad cock. She untied my low top hikers and pulled them off, and then worked my pants over my feet, leaving me in nothing but my socks and underwear. “Now, let’s take care of this too.” She said with a smile, looking up at me as she reached for my briefs. I closed my eyes and tried not to moan as she pulled my underwear down and closed her lips around the head of my cock. “Hmm” she mumbled around my cock, as she licked and sucked on it gently. She continued to suck my engorged cock while she worked my underwear down my legs and over my feet. “Tasty.” She said quietly when she pulled her mouth from my cock. “You wouldn’t mind taking care of a really horny cunt with it, would you?”“That depends on whose it is?” I breathed.“Mine.” She said as she stood up in front of me and reached for my hands. She pulled me across the aisle to the booth on the other side and sat her ass on the edge of the table. She let go of one hand and reached for my hard cock, pulling it toward her cunt as she pulled my hand toward her chest.“Oh God yes.” she whispered, as she rubbed my engorged head around her wet lips. “Slide it in now.” She practically begged.By that point I was thinking with my dick and willingly leaned into her, allowing my cock head to spread her lips and slowly push into her cunt. I let out a quiet moan as I felt my head expand her tunnel and pass that first point of resistance. I felt her velvety smooth walls slowly engulf my shaft, teasing its length and the sensitive spot under my head, as I slowly pushed deeper into her. Finally I felt my head press against the end of her tunnel, nestling into a little pocket next to her cervix. Her whole tunnel seemed to squeeze me with just the right amount of pressure, resisting my efforts as I started to slowly pull back out.“Oh yeah. That’s what I want.” She said quietly as I stopped with only the head of my cock inside her, and then pressed deep into her again.Right then I didn’t care who was watching. I had my cock buried in a hot cunt and my hands were busy with both her tits and her clit. I cupped and stroked her tit and nipple, teasing first one and then the other, each growing harder and more puckered as time passed; meanwhile my other fingers were busy stroking her clit while my shaft slid in and out of her wet cunt.“Oh Fuck Yes!” She hissed as her body began to tremble. “So fucking good!” She mumbled as my left thumb stroked across her exposed clit. Each time I pressed into her I allowed my thumb to stroke slowly across the hard nub, and then just when I was at the end of her tunnel I would rub it in small circles until I pulled back down her tunnel.I continued to work her cunt and nipples as her body shook, pushing her closer and closer to her impending orgasm. Her chest heaved and small beads of sweat began to collect in the sweet crevasse created by her sexy tits. My own climax was building with each second that I teased her closer to hers. Finally she began to spasm, her grunts and moans getting louder by the second as her body began to jerk uncontrollably. I felt her legs wrap around my waist, her heels pulling me deep into her as her whole body shook with spasms, control of her muscles giving way to her orgasm. Slowly her jerking and trembling passed and she pulled herself up until her tits were pressing into my chest and her lips were pressed against mine.The embrace was soft and hard at the same time, filled with passion and desire. She kissed me wetly for several minutes before finally releasing my neck and leaning back.“God that was incredible, thank you.” She whispered. “I wish I had time to play more. I could definitely get used to having this inside me.” She said with a wiggle of her hips, moving herself on my still primed and hard cock. “But I need to get your food. Besides, I don’t want to deprive your friend of getting some of this.”“I’m not sure it’s exactly what she has in mind.” I said.“Well, if she doesn’t, I will. Y
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through Apple's upcoming overhaul of the iPad mini and iPad Air, looking at the future of the product lineup as a whole.The headline upgrade is a switch from LCD to OLED display technology. The iPad mini 8 is expected to use a single-stack LTPS panel, which is dimmer than the tandem OLED in the iPad Pro, but a substantial step up from the current display. The screen will also likely grow from 8.3 to 8.7 inches, and ProMotion is a possibility. On the chip, sources disagree. Code Apple accidentally published in August pointed to the A19 Pro, but a other evidencesuggests the device will use the unreleased A20 Pro chip instead. The N1 and C1X chips are also highly likely to be present. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple is also working on a more water-resistant design, which would make new the iPad mini the first in the lineup to carry an official IP rating. Apple is said to have developed a vibration-based speaker system that eliminates traditional speaker holes, removing a primary path for water ingress.The scale of the upgrades strongly suggests a redesigned, thinner chassis to accommodate them. Gurman says the upgrades could push the price up by as much as $100 to around $599. The leaker known as “Instant Digital" has said the device will launch in the second half of 2026 at the earliest.Apple is also expected to update the iPad Air in early 2027, with the headline change similarly being a switch to OLED. Like the iPad mini 8, the Air is expected to use a single-stack LTPS panel supplied by Samsung Display, keeping costs down relative to the tandem OLED in the iPad Pro. Arriving over six years after the device's last redesign, it is also likely to feature a new design similar to the iPad mini, along with the M5 chip. The next iPad Pro is expected in spring 2027, with an M6 chip and a vapor chamber cooling system similar to the one Apple introduced in the iPhone 17 Pro, but no design changes are rumored. With the iPad Air set to close the gap significantly by adopting OLED and a thinner design, the Pro's key differentiators will narrow considerably. A more transformative reason to choose the Pro may not arrive until Apple launches its long-rumored foldable iPad, which Gurman says will feature an 18-inch display. The device has faced development hurdles around weight and display technology and is now expected no earlier than 2029, with a price potentially reaching $3,900, up to three times the cost of the current 13-inch iPad Pro.Start your business with Shopify and get everything you need to sell online and in person.

March 6, 2026 In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. Ray Painter break down the complex “alphabet soup” of Medicare coverage and auditing tools—including NCDs, LCDs, LCAs, RAC audits, and the emerging WISER program—and explain how they work together to shape reimbursement policy. Prompted by a new multi-state LCD affecting Botox coverage, the discussion walks through how coverage determinations are created, how Medicare contractors enforce them, and why documentation requirements continue to expand. The panel also explores how practices can adapt by building workflows, intake forms, and clinical documentation processes that capture the data Medicare expects—helping physicians navigate audits while still delivering appropriate patient care.

On today's show we look at HDTV Display Technologies that are no longer with us. Some had a short run and some never made it to the market. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG pulls the plug on 8K OLED and 8K LCD TVs Apple's home hub could finally arrive this spring with a rather unique design Roku is Testing a New Home Screen With A New Look Google Home update brings more automation controls HDTV Display Technologies That Are No Longer With Us Over the 21 years we have been doing the show we have seen numerous HDTV display technologies come and go. Some never made it to market and some had a good run but were eventually beat out by something better. These technologies competed during the transition from bulky CRTs to flat panels, but most lost out as LCD, later becoming LED-backlit LCD, then OLED, became dominant for reasons like cost, scalability, picture quality improvements, and manufacturing ease. Technologies That Were Proposed/Demonstrated but Never Commercially Released to Consumers SED (Surface-Conduction Electron-Emitter Display)Developed primarily by a Canon and Toshiba joint venture starting in the late 1990s/early 2000s. It was essentially a flat-panel evolution of CRT technology using electron emitters for each pixel, promising CRT-like motion handling, deep blacks, high contrast, fast response times, and low power in a slim form factor. Prototypes were shown around 2005–2007 with impressive demos. Why it didn't make it: Repeated delays due to manufacturing challenges (high production costs, difficulty scaling/vacuum sealing), patent disputes, and aggressive price drops in LCD/plasma panels. Then by 2009–2010, LCD had become too dominant and cheap; Canon officially froze consumer SED development in 2010, shifting any remaining efforts to niche professional uses. FED (Field-Emission Display)Similar to SED and sometimes grouped together or seen as a precursor/variant. FED used field-emission electron sources (like microtips) for CRT-style performance in a flat panel. Demonstrated in prototypes in the 2000s by companies like Sony and Motorola. Why it didn't make it: Development took too long; manufacturing complexity and yield issues made it unviable. It was overtaken by faster-scaling plasma and then LCD/OLED technologies before reaching mass production. Technologies That Reached the Market but Were Discontinued DLP (Digital Light Processing) Rear-Projection TVsUsed Texas Instruments' DMD (digital micromirror device) chips to reflect light, often with a color wheel for sequential color (or pricier 3-chip versions). Popular in the mid-2000s for large-screen (50–70+ inch) HDTVs from brands like Samsung, Mitsubishi, RCA, and Toshiba, offering good brightness, no burn-in, and sharp images at competitive prices. Why discontinued: Bulky depth (even if thinner than CRT rear-projection), lamp replacements needed, rainbow artifacts (on single-chip models), poor off-angle viewing, and vulnerability to ambient light. As flat-panel LCD and plasma prices fell dramatically in the late 2000s, consumers preferred slim, wall-mountable designs. Rear-projection DLP TVs largely vanished by around 2010. LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) / Variants like D-ILA (JVC) and SXRD (Sony)A reflective microdisplay tech using liquid crystals on a silicon backplane, often in rear-projection or some front-projection setups. Offered excellent contrast, deep blacks, and smooth motion (better than early LCDs). Available in HDTVs from JVC, Sony, and others in the mid-2000s. Why largely discontinued for direct-view TVs: High cost, manufacturing complexity, and lower brightness compared to emerging flat panels. Rear-projection versions suffered the same bulkiness issues as DLP. While LCOS survives today in high-end projectors mostly in JVC and Sony home theater models, it never scaled to mainstream direct-view flat-panel HDTVs and was eclipsed by LCD advancements. Plasma Display Panel (PDP / Plasma TVs)Used ionized gas (plasma) cells to create light, excelling in black levels, contrast, color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and no motion blur. Very popular for HDTV in the 2000s from Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, and LG. Why discontinued: High power consumption, heat generation, heavier panels, burn-in risk (though mitigated later), and difficulty scaling to 4K efficiently/cost-effectively. As LCD/LED prices dropped with better brightness, efficiency, and no burn-in, plasma couldn't compete economically. Production fully ended around 2014–2015. Other Notable Mentions LCD Rear-Projection TVs — Used transmissive LCD panels; suffered from similar bulk and light issues as DLP; discontinued early-mid 2000s. Direct-view CRT HDTVs — The original standard; fully discontinued by the late 2000s/early 2010s due to size, weight, and inefficiency. Key Reasons Technologies Fail in HDTV Market Regardless of how good a display technology is, the following will keep it from the mass market: Cost & Manufacturing Yield: Technologies requiring ultra-precise processes (SED, FED, LCoS) couldn't hit competitive prices. Competing Technologies Improve Fast: LCD and later LED/OLED got cheaper and better quicker than rivals could scale. Form Factor Shift: Direct-view panels beat rear-projection (DLP, LCoS, laser) because consumers prefer thin TVs. Performance Tradeoffs: Issues like power use, burn-in, brightness, viewing angles, or reliability hurt consumer uptake. In summary, the winners were technologies that scaled cheaply to larger sizes, became thinner/lighter, improved efficiency, and avoided major drawbacks like high costs or reliability issues. LCD/LED dominated the 2010s due to mass production advantages, while OLED took premium segments later for superior contrast/per-pixel lighting. Many promising "next-gen" ideas from the 2000s (like SED/FED) simply arrived too late or proved too hard to manufacture affordably.
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss all of the new Macs Apple is expected to release this year, starting with the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro. Following the release of the M5 MacBook Pro last year, Apple is expected to launch refreshed high-end MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. They are rumored to arrive alongside macOS Tahoe 26.5 in the next few weeks. Stock of the current M4 Pro and M4 Max models is dwindling, suggesting that the announcement is now impending.After that release, we are expecting M5-series chips to come to the MacBook Air, Mac mini, and Mac Studio at the very least. Whether the iMac and the Mac Pro will get an M5 chip remains an open question.Apple is also rumored to launch an all-new low-cost MacBook this year, featuring the A18 Pro chip for comparable performance to the M1 chip. It is expected to feature a 13-inch LCD display, USB-C connectivity only, and a price point somewhere between $699 and $899. iPad-like Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow color options are also rumored.Toward the end of the year, Apple is expected to launch significantly upgraded MacBook Pro models. The new machines are rumored to feature M6-series chips, a cellular connectivity option, OLED touchscreen displays, a hole-punch in the screen for the front-facing camera, and a thinner, lighter design.Save more than fifty percent on term life insurance at https://www.selectquote.com/macrumors and get started today!
Terry kicks off 2026 by clearing up a major misunderstanding in the provider and manufacturer community. Some believed that CMS's last‑minute withdrawal of the LCD for skin substitute products would delay or stop the 2026 reimbursement changes. That's not the case. The LCD withdrawal has no impact on the Final Rule, and the new 2026 reimbursement methodology for skin substitutes will move forward exactly as finalized, using an incident‑to payment structure. In this episode, Terry breaks down the difference between the policy halt and the reimbursement rules, and explains what providers need to know about the updated approach to skin substitutes and skin graft products and services.

Observational Cinematic Compulsion Disorder, or OCCD, is a common behavioral condition characterized by involuntary ocular fixation on a neighbor's in-flight audiovisual LCD display, even in the absence of accompanying auditory stimuli. Patients with OCCD exhibit vastly impaired concentration filtration, resulting in reflexive visual tracking of narrative cinematic sequences presented on adjacent personal screens during commercial air travel. The disorder is frequently associated with heightened situational distractibility, transient dissociative drift, and a paradoxical increase in attentional salience toward media not voluntarily selected by the patient. Management of OCCD involves admission to a 19th-century gothic asylum in upstate New York, with current clinical guidelines emphasizing electroconvulsive therapy administered on a daily basis, leading to a positive outcome of preemptive engagement with self-selected entertainment to mitigate cross-screen visual intrusion.
