How many consumers who are buying phones at the non-pro levels use their port for anything other than charging more than 5-times a year?

I’d bet those that do would be buying the Pro line of phones which are faster.

That was my take too. Their overall point wasn’t bad but the start was a complete non sequitur that made me question if I wanted to finish because it’s a bad foundation for their actual argument.

The ideal would have to be some sort of AI translation. The problem is that PDF is a page layout format and EPUB is a reading format and you can’t just extract the text without understanding what parts are affected by page layout, think of reading by columns for example. And you would need to train the AI on what’s unnecessary for reading comprehension

I’m terrified of what crews will have to go through to mitigate and clean up what will clearly become a massive sunlight leak after this. Do we know how this will impact local groundwater?

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

It uses OpenLibrary and Inventaire as it’s sourced apparently. I don’t know if it contributes upstream though.

I just wish it had a Calibre plugin, I tend to forget to update services like these and rely on syncing with calibre to do it for me.
