Well, that's what I heard!

Ghostbusters.

Doesn't make it any less annoying though! 😁

One reason to avoid using words is that in a global economy, they may want to sell the same product in multiple countries, so you potentially run into translation issues/costs and confusion over whether a product is the same or not between two different places. Using just letters and numbers eliminates that.

Of course, that's all for their own convenience, not for the convenience of the end customer.

(or, in the US, a corn maze instead)

Wouldn't it be a corn maize? :-)

It's a good thing that it's socially unacceptable, at least when applied to people, or as a pejorative generally.

It's still a potentially useful word though in other contexts, eg to inhibit the spread of fire. That's a different pronunciation, of course.

Well, my point was really that, nowadays, a launch by anyone would likely result in other launches, leading to all out war and global catastrophe. I wasn't getting into the literal size of bomb impact areas vs global surface area.

We would have nuclear war every year.

I suspect we'd only have it once.

Pretty sure there's at least one Agatha Christie novel that uses that idea. A little here, a little there...

Although, actually, maybe it was the other way round, like someone was deliberately dosing themselves gradually to build up a tolerance. Something like that.

Thanks for the reminder, I really must change my bookmarks to this, such a simple change.

Not viable for the mobile app of course, but even having the browser sorted would be a start.

Seconded, brilliant film.

Thanks 👍

Ah ok, thanks - that's too technical for me, but I appreciate the link anyway 👍

I'm OOTL here, why will 0.9.20 break Sync?

That's a really interesting question. I have no idea, but I'd be interested to read what someone with relevant knowledge had to say about it.

Ah, interesting - that could definitely be an option, thanks 👍

Oh ok, cool - although I've actually never used Chat GPT either (I sound like a total luddite here, I know!)

Thanks for the tip though, will keep it in mind 👍

Ah, thanks, that looks a useful site.

Sadly, this is my work as well as personal PC, and Photoshop and Premiere are more or less essential for me. I know there's Photopea, which can handle PSD files, so that would probably do to replace PS, but not sure about Prem.

Happy to try something else, but it's finding the time to learn everything again that's my real issue.

Still though, that's a great resource, so thanks 👍

Thanks, good advice. Will do a bit of research myself first I think.

Sadly no spare PC to try it on at the moment. I do have a laptop running Plex, but don't really want to mess with that right now.

Maybe I can buy a cheap one to have a play around with first.

Cheers, much appreciated 👍

Ah, I'm actually in the UK, so maybe this is good news for me! :-)
