   This looks great! It instantly made me think of my favourite ever query editor, which was SQL Query Analyzer from SQL Server 2000.

   > It would be much better if a tiny bit of JavaScript told you as soon as you put the date in, and if it had a "tomorrow" button, which would also require some JavaScript. There's so much research that shows the opposite.

   I do, thanks. https://design-system.service.gov.uk/ (I'm aware the design system has a sprinkling of JS, but it offers a few in-page enhancements and works just fine without)

   It sounds like you're blaming CSS for the shortcomings of the library you're using. CSS cascades, embrace it rather than fighting it. Have a .btn rule that styles all your buttons. Have a .warning one that makes it yellow. Then in

    I annotate and higlight text all the time with GNOME's document viewer. It works so well I hadn't even considered people might find it problematic. https://apps.gnome.org/en-GB/Evince/ I realise it proba

    I'm sure you know this, but for younger readers, in Subversion 'praise' was an alias for 'blame'. For neutrality, 'annotate’ was another alias.

    Yeah the override is set in Android settings and it works fine for other apps like my house alarm and security camera system. Enabling DND makes LibreLink instantly flash up a warning saying "Alarms aren't available."

    I reported a bug with LibreLink to Abbott about 18 months ago and they still haven't fixed it. The app doesn't respect Android's Do Not Disturb override list which essentially means I can't use DND on my phone. It's

    Screen sharing was the final hurdle for me. I switched to running Slack in a Chrome tab and it works better than it ever did on X11 for me. I've used it on both my work computers for a few years now and it's been totally solid.

    My Brother scanner SFTPs documents right to my server where they're ingested by Paperless-ngx. It's all really seamless other than occasionally when the document appears upside down for some reason.

    Ah thanks. I'd actually updated but didn't read the changelog and hadn't noticed the new functionality!

    I'd love it if this could be integrated into Paperless. Every now and then one of my scanned documents goes in upside down and I need to rescan. Clicking rotate, maybe reordering and letting it be rescanned would be great.

    Considering you can pick up a 16GB one for £2.50 at a supermarket checkout I don't think it's really that much of a hurdle.

    I was typing on my phone, the word 'explosive' was accidental but definitely fits in with the theme of crappy electronics! I edited the original post.

    While this move is clearly sensible the number of people importing absolute junk from Temu/AliExpress/Shein means millions of homes will be exploitable regardless.
