This looks like a cool typeface in how much it can vary itself, but the price feels extremely expensive, and I don't like having to keep track of which of my library of typefaces are allowed to be used on which projects based on which

This keeps deciding that I am done describing my drawer before I can mention a single thing that should be stored in the drawer. I basically get paste the dimension and it decides that I hit Generate already. Now I'm going to try typi

I don't know about converting PowerPoint and Excel to Markdown, but for Word, I'd say open the file in LibreOffice Writer 26.2, and save as Markdown. Alternatively, use pandoc, and save the command in a .sh or .ps1 to remember.

Open .docx file, save as Markdown to nicely preserve things like headings, bold, etc. I moderately frequently have reason to want to go .docx to .md because I have a lot of ediing/rewriting to do and I'd rather work in Emacs than

If it started faster, you still probably would find it a bit unwieldy for crop scale and simple color changes. I wish it did those things better, but on the other hand it seems like it would be appropriate to have a simpler program for quic

In my city, travel habits and condition, I find I wish for more torque and lower speed. Every place I want to go has significant hills that the motor can't handle, and easing climbing hills is the main reason I want an ebike. My ebike&

For those unclear on what the large pile of .doc and .pdf files are, it appears to be some revision of the design documents for "NT OS/2", which then turned into just NT. This appears to be the Smithsonian description of the

I think that for many cases that should be modified from 24 hours to by the end of the next business day. I feel no obligation to reply on a Sunday to someone who emails me on Saturday or late Friday. They can wait until Monday.

I would argue that it is heavily used in professional AV, but not as much in high-end installations and usually not in broadcast setups.

I think Windows 11 would have had much more consumer buy-in in the early days if they would have at least extended non-OEM support back to the Skylake generation, if not further, which it looks like it would have be easy to do, since it ran

I strongly recommend Cameo machines from Silhouette. I don't know if their software runs in Wine on Linux, but they aren't actively hostile to 3rd party software. I usually use the Inkscape-Silhouette extension, but there are othe

It looks like the desktop/workstation price is $25/yr, which seems pretty reasonable. For personal users, it is free for 5 concurrent machines. Unfortunately the per server price is $500/yr, which maybe competitive with some

To jump on the bandwagon, I do that sort of work sometimes, but more details on the product to modify would be needed. Also, it may be more cost effective to design a replacement product (also noted by others), which I can also do. I woul

It starts with the assumption that the VM/370 machine will be virtual. Ignoring the XT/370 and P/370, where there any other System/370 systems that could run on a 15 amp 220v/240v outlet? If not, it would be difficu

I do have an archive of Linux ISOs, but it is not anywhere near petabyte sized. Well I'm not trying to be comprehensive, everyone I download for many years now gets archived, and I am not sure that it is reached a terabyte yet.

If the cards were legally acquired in the first place, I don't see how they (the shop) have any moral reason not to upgrade the cards however their customers want. It isn't their laws that prevent high memory cards. And the appeal

You just know the next version will probably get voice recognition and some connection to an LLM to generate line drawings for it too then place on paper. I think it would be cool to have a variant built that included some sort of turtle gr

In quite a few areas you mention (control of congresses, senates, president) the system has been optimized to allow less densely populated areas to have outsized control. Less densely populated areas historically were the ones that wanted s
