Guys, please pray for Star

That is one case when it would be handy. Do people link to things in those other programs in emails? And does it do what teams does where it takes you from Email > browser > Teams so it creates a bunch of redundant tabs anyway?

Teams in the browser sucks because they don't give you all the functionality of regular teams. But regular teams is still pretty bad. Browser outlook is much better now with Office 365, from an email nerd perspective it uses an updated render engine compared to Outlook Classic. New desktop Outlook is pretty much a container for the web version, so everything is the same aside from being able to pick your preferred keyboard shortcuts.

I'm an email in the browser kind of guy. I don't know how people put up with a client. I like to open a link and have it go into the tab next to where I'm reading. I like being able to have my emails open in different tabs in multiple windows. Maybe it's because I'm young, but it's how I've always done it

It looks like technology companies have just given up on smart home stuff. There are no more smart clocks, smart displays, not even speakers side from Sonos. Everyone got sick of using these things and the world has moved on.

This means I can chuck out my smart clock with the broken cable. I can actually get rid of it completely! It's the cable that's broken, not the unit, and it's such a weird voltage and connector it's not worth trying to replace.

It's a bit of a shame to contribute to more ewaste. I might drop it off at one of the ewaste points at a library or office works. But it's nice to know I can let go of something. No holding onto a cable 'just in case'. No need to try get an otherwise perfectly fine unit to work, because I didn't use it anyway. I can actually throw this thing out, and there's no equivalent on the market to replace it with.

Some of the products have a larger woman modelling them, but she has the same tan and hair as the other woman. She just looks like a larger version of the other model.

If I reach out to people to model the items myself I'll just want anyone that can wear them in their own style. Body shape doesn't really matter, as long as they can show how versatile this stuff can be.

These are all good points. The wholesaler seems pretty established, I've seen their products listed on large, real company websites. The issue I could have is someone orders something from me and it's actually out of stock on the supplier side as someone else has bought the last one. I'll figure that out if it happens.

I'm expecting people to see ads before they see the URL, so they'll see the logo with LXIX in it then see the URL. I hope that makes it seem less spammy. I get what you mean though, most junk URLs are just a random string of letters.

Thanks for the tip on Model Mayhem as well. That's exactly what I need right now. I need assets of real people wearing the clothes, especially videos. I can edit those into ads that will grab a lot more attention if done right.

I'll try find some 20 year old girls to show the website to as well. The main thing I want to check is if they'd wear the items, and trust the website from seeing it in an Instagram or Tiktok ad to convert to a sale.

I'll see if I can add some spaces or a line break to shorter product titles. Then I can look into some more consistent formatting so they're always the same height. This is partially an exercise in learning web design for myself more as well

Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to start with a limited range but I could add more accessories to pad out the listings more.

The photos aren't great. I'd really like to get photos of real women on there. Ones where they're wearing things as part of an actual outfit, there's a background, they've got tattoos and coloured hair and whatnot. I could reach out to people and see if they'd take photos in exchange for free product.

I want to target a specific crowd to start with so it's easier for me to target ads. No one knows about the store so I don't need to worry about excluding anyone. If I target a segment I can put new products on the website that may encourage return customers as well.

I'll add more company details so the website feels more legit. I can do some website updates but I'm not a front end designer and that will take a while. At the moment I don't mind if it comes across as one person doing their best, and I can spruce it up and add nicer details later.

The product is already here in Australia but I haven't actually seen any of it yet to attest to quality. I might order some of it to check it out for myself, then I have some on hand for potential local models. I might be able to take some real photos myself of flat lays on a bed or something.

This has given me a bit more to go off so this has been really helpful, thank you.

At the moment I've picked things that are one size. I'm having trouble getting the sizing options to display properly so I'm just working around it for the moment

I found an opportunity to start an online store and I'd like to ask the DT brainstrust on some feedback. I'll mark it all as spoilers because people may not want to read my full ramblings or some of the subject matter:

Make sure you sing the dango song every time if it's a thing in this game as well

My lenovo smart clock fell and the power cable snapped right on the metal barrel. It's a 20 volt power supply as well so I guess it's just trapezoidal ewaste now.

Maybe I'll get one with the wireless charger as ac replacement so I get a bit more convenience out of these things if they're going to spy on us

There's a little bit of that on the Watershed album. The death growls stuff is great too if you're into that sort of thing

Pale Communion is my favourite of the no death growl years. The Last Will And Testament is a great blend of old and new Opeth. They're a great band with so many eras to keep you busy

We just did Hoopla in South Morang. It's a good play centre. Plenty going on and enough to keep the kids busy.

We'll have to go again because their ticketing isn't very clear and I bought tickets for ourselves as well. They credited back the difference so that's a free trip

As long as we don't get a 30 degree day in April I'm happy

It's one thing I wish they'd embrace down here more. A midi is not enough and sometimes a pint is too much

The Aristocrats are playing tonight, I only found out this week. I'd really like to go so let's hope the boys go down easily enough

I managed to sell some boots on depop recently without too much hassle. Maybe the market is picking up
