  • Research papers in creative cloud? I am guessing she is using something like InDesign or illustrator to make pdfs or maybe Acrobat? I think you need to clarify what her workflow entails to get better answers.

    But going with my assumptions, it sounds like she can get away with using some kind of Office suit instead, maybe 365? not that it would solve the enshitification of apps problem… But I do consider it a stable program both as installed apps and on the web. There are also endless tutorials and support to get if she is running into issues.

    With that said, it is probably not worth it if she is a boomer. It would take a long time to get into a new workflow and it would affect her output. If she is used to adobe she should probably stick to it.


  • Some of these are a real longshot. I’d wadger to say most of them even. Sure, some companies will try to do this. But in three years alot of those companies will realize that humans are very good at certain tasks and much more reliable than a superbot that will probably still be prone to hallucinations and also have issues with maintainance, because in the end, nobody can look at the code and say “oh here is a bug, I’ll have that sorted by Thursday”. Just look at Google, one of the most successful software companies in the world, they can barely figure out how to solve the issues with their ai search. They just blame it on being a new feature and have to manually block the ai from saying stupid shit. It has become this strange game of whack-em-all but instead of being harmless it is backed by these massive corporations that only care about their stock price going to the moon.







  • I can see it being an option for some people. If you print low volume but regularly every month. And you need a printer that always just works. The problem is the monthly limits! The base package is 20 pages per month, just printing out a pdf manual or something would eat that up in a minute. I would want unused prints to be added to next month.

    Otherwise it is very similar to how it works for businesses having larger office printers.



  • Probably the best bet right now. Both from a cost perspective and using resources better. One big battery in a single car vs 10 batteries in 10 PHEV. If we want to make a real impact right now the PHEV are a great choice and can reach more people. Then of course, the best is not drive any car at all, asvoften as possible. Taking public transport or walking/cycling is much better than than any BEV, imagine if every car owner would drive 10% less, that would make a huge impact. Much larger than building a fuck ton of BEVs from a sustainability standpoint.
