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.

Does this normally work? They removed support for location based reminders over a year ago, so that might be why it’s struggling so much. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/06/the-google-assistant-is-losing-location-reminders-one-of-its-best-features/

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.

While I’d like to think the wealthiest would do something that would benefit everyone, they can just build walls, or move to higher ground.

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?

Just a guess, but maybe they were deleted because of the Reddit info, which is shitty exploiting of someone’s post by a company.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate, though I’m not convinced by the UI images. I’ll have to test the touch support myself, but I’ll check it out.

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate! I’ll have to figure out how to get the package file myself, thanks!

Thank you for actually reading my comment and suggesting something appropriate instead of whatever gets you the most karma (“use thunderbird/Linux!”).

Huh? Okay, well I don’t want either of those. I want a light touch first mail app. If it is like any version of Outlook for PC, I’m not interested as it doesn’t meet what I originally asked for.

No, I mean like windows mail app for windows. A large screen app that can easily used with only touch. Like I said in my first comment.

Failing to read my comments and just answering the questions you want to answer is not helpful.

But better for touch and simpler than windows mail?

I am only using Outlook for work email.

Isn’t that more of a replacement for Outlook? It doesn’t look designed around touch like the windows mail app.

I’m waiting for Microsoft to bring back the option to move the taskbar to the side of the screen before upgrading to windows 11 from 10.

I may switch to Linux if IT forces the update and I can’t stop it.

No shit. There’s a reason they are killing the nice and simple Windows Mail app; it allows you to sync with your email without Microsoft servers between.

Also, the biggest issue for me is the UX. I use outlook for my work email and like to separate my work and personal life, so soon I just won’t have an app for my personal email on my PC.

If anyone knows of a similar windows mail app with good touch support and without such a traditional mouse designed UI, please share it.
