Could you use this to test new releases of software for bugs? A bit like TDD but for GUI interactions

Have a look at HideAway VPN for some advanced split tunnelling - lets you create custom rules to route apps, websites, ports and IP addresses to different locations simultaneously, or block/exclude. So you set your rules up once and don't need to turn off the VPN to change them - it's like running multiple VPNs at once. Instant connection and great speeds too.

Did an experiment to give a software product a dark theme. Gave Both (GPT and Gemini/Nano) a screenshot of the product and an example theme I found on Dribbble.

- Gemini/Nano did a pretty average job, only applying some grey to some of the panels. I tried a few different examples and got similar output.

- GPT did a great job and themed the whole app and made it look great. I think I'd still need a designer to finesse some things though.

Well, your view (and others) will be skewed by your upbringing and experiences. I value kindness.

Nice one. Agree on all this. Once you lose the weight through proper eating/deficit, exercise will maintain it.

That was amazing.

Exactly! Nothing if you don't ship physical goods. I've been doing this for 24 years and only collecting sales tax for users in my home country. All other countries I just say on my invoice that any sales tax is included in the price. What are the going to do about me not charging sales tax in their country and remitting it? Come and get it?

I finally ditched Outlook last month - and settled on eM Client and it's really nice. It does a lot of stuff.

Outlook for years had these recurring issues:

- mail profile gets corrupted - requiring me to re-setup my mail accounts

- from time to time, emails would sit in the Outbox not going anywhere. Then I'd notice hours or a day later. Frustrating. Have to restart Windows to fix it.

Maybe the New Outlook is better, but when I first tried it, it was missing lots of stuff.

We've had to block a lot of these bots as they slowed our technical forum to a crawl, but new ones appear every now and again. Amazons was the worst

You're absolutely right. Their website is terrible to book anything on or do any admin with, probably got many different antiquated systems in the background

Sure, they always have the latest bleeding edge stuff. I'd definitely get this in the future though. Good yours has lasted

Amazing alright, I'd buy it but just bought a Surface and have had a couple of Asus laptops in the past and they don't seem to last the distance.
