    I drag-drop PDFs and ePubs, read PDFs and ePubs, and sync mobile with laptop, etc.

    Not true. It’s just an undocumented myth. The Spanish Civil War is the reference to the invention by Alexandre de Fisterra, and it’s decades later than the first table football. ht…

    I had read the story. So cool! Maybe once we will see a new specification allowing the code solution.

    The font is great. What I miss is a step forward in technology: variable glyphs. The feeling of reading a handwritten text is lost when the letters have always the same shape. If i…

    NUMBERED PARAGRAPHS, YESSSS! Seriously, once page numbers have become optional, electronic editions of books (monographs, essays, and academic texts) need to number the paragraphs …

    Haha! Please, don’t! We don’t need clipart or senseless AI generated schemas on PowerPoints :-)

    Every improvement in image generation seems to reduce the value of the images themselves. When anything can be faked or created in seconds, what is an image really worth? With text…

    Not just futuristic, they’re designed with intention. That’s what I miss most of all about the current buildings.

    I’ve been following this approach since last school year. I focus on in-class work and home-time is for reading and memorization. My classmates still think classrooms are for lectu…

    Yep, it's easy to shortcut AI plagiarism, but you need time. In most of the universities around the world (online universities especially), the number of students is way too big, w…

    Here you speak about your data as if it were rocks you found trekking, but the data we’re talking here isn’t even paper or pictures: it’s digital data you can’t access or backup by…

    40 years ago, we weren’t living in a dystopian society –we may be closer now. Back then, most people kept less than 50 photos at home but spent more time with their families, shari…

    IMHO the constant complaints about losing chats or needing conversation backups aren’t technical problems—they’re social ones. We need to reclaim the freedom to speak with others e…

    Cutting admin people might mean more paperwork for professors and researches, which can lead to less grants and funding because you can’t do science while doing paperwork. Not that…

    I'm giving the new Sonnet a chance, although for my use as a writing companion so far, Opus has been king among all the models I've tried. However, I've been using Opus as a writin…

    My only complain is on the low value of the search results the average person gets, which is easy to judge: passive advertising, SEOsites, etc. I don’t care what they search, read …
