Or a keyboard shortcut.

My keyboard cost £10 with a mouse. The keyboard has 104 keys and I would expect it to last at least 5 years. That's £0.02 per key per year. To be competitive, a subscription model for an AI button needs to be less than £0.00333 per month.

Maybe if all their shadiness hadn't been allowed in the first place they wouldn't have been able to become a monopoly.

But please, I beg of you, do Adobe next.

Canada should agree to do it but only on the basis that the US starts paying its way as a member of NATO.

it will, yes. Which is good if you want to keep everything from from the source drive but bad if you want to keep everything from the destination drive.

My understanding is that it's peer-to-peer using two or more radio transmitters, so it shouldn't need access to the internet.

This is one of the coolest things in tech and maybe the most important too. Relying on centralised infrastructure really puts you at the mercy of whoever owns and runs it, as well as their enemies. Look at the internet getting shut down in various places at various times and big institutions like healthcare grinding to a halt.

When I have more time I'm definitely going to try using this stuff.

Have you looked at Clonezilla?

I think I've found a workaround. In the Fossify Contacts app on my phone, in the settings I checked the box marked 'merge duplicate contacts'. I then used the AOSP Contacts app to export them as a .vcf which I imported into Thunderbird, which is now showing no duplicates. I don't know why the AOSP app is able to export without duplicates, even though it's the Fossify app which has the 'merge duplicate contacts' option but there you have it...

Yeah, after importing contacts back and forth between my android phone and Thunderbird I'm in the same boat. Trying to avoid manually selecting the 400 or so duplicates to delete them... The duplicates aren't visibly listed in my phone's app but when I export a .vcf file from it and open it in Thunderbird or Gnome Contacts they are. I'm surprised that my desktop apps don't have something inbuilt to deal with this.

Being able to use OsmAnd to navigate in airplane mode massively reduces battery drain as well.

Also when riding a bicycle and to a slightly lesser extent a motorcycle.

Organic Maps tugs our heartstrings by their commitment to privacy. The app can run entirely without a network connection and comes with no ads, tracking, data collection, and best of all no registration.

In my experience this applies to OsmAnd too. Please correct me if I'm mistaken though.
