I'd like to point out Bento PDF: https://www.bentopdf.com/

It runs in the browser, is private and no-fuss. You can also host it locally if you like.

Yes, it is called tone policing.

I assume this means a CLI tool is no longer covered by a Gemini subscription?

The sticky notes are a nice idea, but they should be aligned to the highlighted text they refer to.

France has been making good moves to achieve software independence from the US. It would be an even better move to allow those in Europe or indeed the rest of the world to also benefit.

Even a CLI interface would be better than the sorry excuse of Asda's website. I wonder if entrusting an LLM is worth the trade off with the tedium of online shopping.

This is very nice. I am astounded that my Surface Pro stylus works well with the brushes, even using pressure data. And all in the browser!

Yes, but it's not recommended - it does not have inter-frame compression, so it is significantly less efficient than just having a regular video file and slapping 'gif' on it.

In general terms, it is a shame that thousands of ISO, IEC etc specifications and documents are behind a paywall.

n-o-d-e (blogger) has published many mods for this watch, with videos included. They have great production quality, and the mods are easy enough to pull off. https://n-o-d-e.net/casio.html

When I did this mod, I soldered the LED on its side, so that it shone directly onto the LCD. This made the watch face much brighter.

On reflection, the similar variant of the watch with an EL display is vastly superior. The A168 is similar to the A158 you mentioned but with a better light.

Is this your project? It would be great to bolster it with links to comment sections and the current points tally.

Mass spectrometry is a multi-faceted beast, and has many applications. One that comes to mind is ion mobility spectrometry. I am most familiar with FAIMS which is an extremely selective method and can detect trace amounts of specific molecules.

The challenge is piecing together what you have detected to draw conclusions about the sample - in this instance you might detect a specific molecule, but to definitively conclude that it's caused by a particular fungus requires lots of prior testing.
