  • 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.




  • I assume you mean the clear plastic around the pods that gets sticky when you touch it with wet hands. Relevant YouTube short with Hank Green https://youtube.com/shorts/mm997MpLNeA?si=ZdBiX7ZTjbpLQMLS TLDW: you don’t have to worry about this kind of plastic it is water soluble and turns into water and carbon dioxide when burned I believe.

    Yes I am worried about microplastics in everyday things, for example drinking water from my tap. I am also worried about using plastics for anything food related that is heated up. As such i have removed all plastic containers in our kitchen that would be used near or with heat. Any containers remaining is only for cold foods and dry storage.



  • Yes it is very interesting. I have friends who buy solar panels and home batteries with one of the ideas being in case of emergency being able to go complete ‘island’. I argue that is all well and good, but within 1h the broadband, and 4g/5g does down, any longer than that you can’t even make a phonecall from a regular cellphone and your smarthouse will probably not work anymore because it requires an active connection. After a few hours all the food at the nearest supermarket will be spoiled and thrown away. My point being, it is very nice idea in theory to get all this tech but I think you have to realize how dependent you still are of the infrastructure around you. And even if you have heat and light for yourself it does not really give you much more time being comfortable in a crisis, best case you can cook a few more meals and have the light on for maybe a day longer than your neighbors, but that is it.




  • No worries! This whole thing is unprecedented, so misunderstandings are to be expected.

    Tesla gets around it, temporarily, by being allow by court to send their own people to pick up the plates at the manufacturer of the plates while the claim is being settled.

    I think the normal rutine for any postal company is to “return to sender” when unable to deliver, but that is just my guess. Edit: correction, PostNord keeps all the post that is mailed to Tesla. This goes beyond the licenses plates and includes other mail also, I assume only the license plates are regarded as business critical at this point for Tesla.
