Na. If it’s British police it’s just an excuse. All they’re there for after all these years of Tory cuts is to give you a reference number so you can make an insurance claim.

Reader is very much a tertiary function of Calibre. It’s an ebook manager and converter first, an editor second.

Swap f-droid for droid-ify for a more modern UI.

Damn, I’m sorry dude that taking days off has to be a financial decision. Good on you looking after yourself though.

All joking aside, I don’t understand how you could live like that? I’m finding it hard this year because I’m getting married in November and taking 3 weeks. That has meant that I’ve had to really eek out my other 3 weeks throughout the year.

You guys got the whole of July? We had about 3 days at the end of June.

You know it’s just a bit of an internet joke that we take the whole of August off, right? Just because we’ve got enough vacation days to do that if we wanted doesn’t mean that anyone actually uses them all up in one go at the most expensive time of the year for hotels, flights etc.

The problem with the AI we have now (or in the foreseeable future) is it’s just too dumb. It’s learnt from all those bang up jobs humans have done. These ain’t no Culture Minds were dealing with.

UK here (so not EU but this isn’t something that’s changed since we were) that’s not really true, most companies would raise an eyebrow if you want to take that much of your holiday in one go. Plus it would leave you working like an American for the rest of the year.

I will never understand how American culture has considered that acceptable.

Ah, fellow European

Trying to buy a smallish TV recently for my bedroom and most were hdready ballshit

Boox run android, so that might fit your title.

From your post content though it actually sounds like you’d be happy with a Kobo. You can easily transfer books and you can install third party open source reading software too.

Yep. My work is rolling them out later in the year. The ones we are getting are basic colour eink, I think they can do a little red to highlight special offers. Batteries are supposed to last several years.

It’s more. Each a4 sheet has considerably more than 1 label on it. Most weeks there’s 90-100 pages of weekly limited offer specials alone. Then every day there’s large amounts of regular stock coming onto and off of special offer. Then produce is constantly being adjusted based on seasonality, the current weather (better prices on salad when it’s hot etc), and to help sell through (warehouse has accepted some stock with reduced shelf life etc).

Then there’s the fact the country I’m from has been experiencing food price inflation at almost 20% this year.

Programming aside electric self edge labels are the future. Where I work we do paper labels for about 50 pretty small stores and use best part of 30,000 sheets of paper a week.
