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.
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).
Though last time I tried assistant responded "I'm sorry I can't set location based reminders anymore". Either they've removed that warning, or this image is over a year old...
In this context (IIRC) smart means "if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file".
Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.
Your take on climate change makes me more worried. Sure, I will probably be fine, but how many innocent people around the world will die until we've done enough to see the climate improving?
How horrible is the world going to be to inhabit if the Gulf Stream collapses? Or other major climate disruptions occur?
I don't doubt the human race will survive, but why do we have to experience the pain before committing to fixing the problem?
I just came here because I was trying to copy the link from a comment to modify the link in my reply (to make it an old Reddit link), but it was a very frustrating experience.
Even opening the web view of the comment does so in the internal browser, which just shows the URL and title (hidden under your finger) when you long press on that.
If I am holding a link it should give options; you already handle tapping on a link in a comment differently from tapping on the text of the comment, so why is the same not true for holding on links?
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.
Yeah I also think it's a 3D render. The chromatic aberration, the shadows, the specular reflection of the metal, the lack of camera sensor noise; something about the lighting just looks off.
It looks way too consistent to be a composite image of some kind.
It shouldn't be checking anything during a ride. If it needs to be turned on at the start of the ride, it should do all the checks and give a green light or a red light (or some other clear indicator) before they start riding.
That way, the only way it doesn't go off if someone wears it while ignoring the "system is not active for safety" warning.
Shouldn't be a subscription in the first place, but hey, this is just a weird hypothetical.
While this is useful, it could be even better! If the AndroidManifest.xml also contained support for Facebook, TikTok and Instagram links it could be set to directly open them instead needing to share it to mpv.
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.
This complexity is the problem. Thanks to insufficient funding for education, many people find it difficult to understand to understand complex problems and their full context, so they want simple "solutions" that are black and white, instead of the grey of reality.
