Rub glasses

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Rub glasses.

Meaning: To deceive someone by presenting the matter in a distorted, wrong, but favorable light for the speaker.

Origin: We are not talking about glasses that are used to correct vision. There is another meaning of the word "points": red and black marks on playing cards. Ever since there were cards, there have been dishonest players, cheaters in the world. They, in order to deceive a partner, indulged in all sorts of tricks. They were able, among other things, to quietly "rub glasses" - to turn a seven into a six or a four into a five, on the go, during the game, sticking a "point" or covering it with a special white powder. It is clear that "rubbing glasses" began to mean "cheating", hence the special words were born: "fraud", "fraudster" - a trickster who knows how to embellish his work, pass off bad as very good.

Random phraseology:

Zoil.

Meaning:

A household name for a vicious, biased, misanthropic literary critic.

Origin:

Ancient Greek critic, historian and orator (c. 400-330 BC). He became famous for his sharp and petty criticism of the poems of Homer, which in ancient Greece were considered classic, impeccable examples of poetry. Zoil is the opposite, the antipode of another well-known ancient critic.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

TP-Link EAP610 Ceiling Access Point 01.10.2021

TP-Link has launched the new TP-Link EAP610 Ceiling Access Point to the market.

The most important advantage of TP-Link EAP610 is the high speed provided by the new product, which, thanks to the Wi-Fi 6 standard, is up to 574 Mbps in the 2,4 GHz band and up to 1201 Mbps in the 5 GHz band. Thus, the total connection speed reaches 1775 Mbps. Support for Band Steering technology is noted, which automatically switches dual-band devices to a faster frequency of 5 GHz.

The EAP610 model integrates with the Omada system, designed to centrally manage a wireless network locally or via the cloud. This is possible through the web interface or using the proprietary Omada application. The device also supports Omada Mesh technology. This means that a stable connection between access points will remain even in the absence of a cable connection.

The PoE+ capabilities make the EAP610 easier and more convenient to install and connect by eliminating the need for additional outlets for the power adapter.

The administrator will be able to set up a secure guest network by providing several authentication methods - for example, via SMS, Facebook or a voucher. In this case, only authorized users will have access to the network, and the ability to customize the login page and place ads on it will help the business. Support for the WPA3 Enhanced Open standard is also provided, which will provide increased security when connecting to previously unsecured public Wi-Fi networks.

The price of new items is $149.
