I mean, many (several?) sites tried optional subscriptions where you pay to get rid of ads, but that doesn’t seem to have worked. Judging by the fact that most sites that have subscriptions instead of ads use pay walls.

People have come to expect free access, so if you can easily use an ad blocker, why would you choose to pay to remove the ads that a blocker removes for free.

Absolutely. Those are the jobs that don’t deserve a living wage.

If you can’t use your position in upper management to make money on the side, you don’t deserve the job.

I’m sure it does nothing, but every time DPD/other fucks up a delivery by failing to even ring the bell and says “we missed you”, I call up their customer service and waste their time complaining about the small amount of time allowed per package delivery.

I ask for drivers to be allowed more time. It’s not entirely their fault (but some seemingly have no situational awareness).

You really are an Unethical Life Tip Pro.

Oh yeah I’d prefer metric, but I was just being consistent with the thread, as the actual units are somewhat beside my point.

Now to find why I didn’t get a notification for this reply…

Cubic feet would be better, especially as taller vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians.

I think this is one of those things that seems like it should be easy to automate, but actually has lots of hidden complexity.

They probably don’t use this to scan commonly available books, because for those you can just cut the spine off the book and scan the pages in a regular scanner.

This is likely used for books that need to be preserved and can’t be damaged during the scanning process.

How do you make a machine that will always turn exactly one page and never tear a page, while adapting for different page sizes and thicknesses, and avoiding the static charge that can make pages stick together? All for less money than it costs to pay people to operate this machine.

Calling something magic because you’re using that to mean “something made with science beyond my understanding” is definitely different from using it as “this is literally magic made by sorcerers”.

One is a joke, the other is evidence of the failure of the educational system.

And companies that need to print more frequently probably already have some kind of subscription, because there are already printing companies that fill that niche.

Sounds like the battery itself will have a QR code, so I imagine manufacturers of interchangeable packs will have to print the QR code on the battery pack itself.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate, though I’m not convinced by the UI images. I’ll have to test the touch support myself, but I’ll check it out.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate! I’ll have to figure out how to get the package file myself, thanks!

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate instead of whatever gets you the most karma (“use thunderbird/Linux!”).

Huh? Okay, well I don’t want either of those. I want a light touch first mail app. If it is like any version of Outlook for PC, I’m not interested as it doesn’t meet what I originally asked for.

No, I mean like windows mail app for windows. A large screen app that can easily used with only touch. Like I said in my first comment.

Failing to read my comments and just answering the questions you want to answer is not helpful.

But better for touch and simpler than windows mail?

I am only using Outlook for work email.

Isn’t that more of a replacement for Outlook? It doesn’t look designed around touch like the windows mail app.

I’m waiting for Microsoft to bring back the option to move the taskbar to the side of the screen before upgrading to windows 11 from 10.

I may switch to Linux if IT forces the update and I can’t stop it.

No shit. There’s a reason they are killing the nice and simple Windows Mail app; it allows you to sync with your email without Microsoft servers between.

Also, the biggest issue for me is the UX. I use outlook for my work email and like to separate my work and personal life, so soon I just won’t have an app for my personal email on my PC.

If anyone knows of a similar windows mail app with good touch support and without such a traditional mouse designed UI, please share it.

Aren’t these just search answers, not the GPT responses?
