ERP (Open Source)
Such a thing even exists? It's for enterprises, sure those are willing to pay for it.
And what does it do on its own anyway? My impression is that any such system needs to be customized with the company-specific business rules and workflows before it starts doing anything useful.
The software may be open source.
But when it comes to configuration, service, etc:
It's a vaild business model, I think.

@LaoC addresses can have comments in them, I don’t know if comments can cross through line boundary and remain in spec though.

I'm fairly sure the
RCPT TO:
has to be all on one line, but it's an evil idea worth exploring.

If quoted, it may contain Space, Horizontal Tab (HT), any ASCII graphic except Backslash and Quote and a quoted-pair consisting of a Backslash followed by HT, Space or any ASCII graphic; it may also be split between lines anywhere that HT or Space appears. In contrast to unquoted local-parts, the addresses ".John.Doe"@example.com, "John.Doe."@example.com and "John..Doe"@example.com are allowed.
The maximum total length of the local-part of an email address is 64 octets.[6]
It's a bit vague. Not sure what they mean by "may be split between lines anywhere a HT or Space appears". (I'm sure the specs are more clear on this, but .)
The limitation to 64 octets seems more of an issue w.r.t. the 2000 character space, given that domain names are limited in length as well (256 characters?).

slightly inappropriate. Not illegal, depending on age of those involved, but...
You're talking to @Tsaukpaetra. Slightly inappropriate is a given.

@LaoC
There are some more recent email standards than RFC 822 that specify a maximum length. RFC 5321, §4.5.3.1 says that the maximum length of a "forward-path" (which is the argument to RCPT TO) is 256 octets, though it's not a firm limit as it's just that "Objects larger than these sizes SHOULD be avoided when possible." At one point RFC 3696 §3 said that the maximum length was 320 characters, but it has since received errata is say that "the upper limit on address lengths should normally be considered to be 256".I think that's the closest there is to a standard, but as everything these "requests for comments" don't really obligate software makers to follow them very strictly, and I'm sure there is plenty of mail software out there that works with reasonably-long addresses.
I was quite surprised that I could set my email address for this forum to an address with spaces in a quoted local-part, though I don't know as it's ever actually successfully sent me email doing so (though I believe my mail server supports it just fine).

each microservice wants its own container. Thus you get all the complexity of dependency management
You need a platform that spins up containers and lets them find each other. This is also available in either Free or Expensive flavors.

Email addresses probably have their own thread, not sure what its name is.

So this just happened:
I'm not drunk. The first one I didn't notice the autocorrect had done that until after I sent it. The rest of them did their corrections as I hit the last space before sending it.
The people responsible for programming the godawful Android keyboard and its horrible autocorrect deserve bamboo torture.

I've disabled it since forever. Admittedly, that's mainly because I use multiple languages (occasionally in the same message). But, still.

I’m on an iPhone and leave autocorrect on, because I’m too lazy to type capital letters or umlauts1 and just let autocorrect do that for me. (I’m a pedant and want things to be written correctly, even if I’m just texting all lower-case half-mangled garbage with no punctuation is not acceptable.)
It works well enough for me, in that the times I have to un-correct a word are fewer than the times it successfully corrects words, and I usually notice immediately when the former happens.Well, that’s for the “normal” single word autocorrect. Sometimes it decides to analyze phrases or grammar or something contextually, and then changes something 3 words back that I had already deemed correct. FUCK. That shit is rage inducing because it’s almost always wrong, annoying to go back and fix, and super easy to miss. Then you wonder “I could swear that was correct when I typed it.”
1 I also use the feature where I end sentences with double tapping space, as it replaces
.
. That leads to some funny artifacts, because I don’t want the last sentence to end with period-space but just with period (which is completely stupid on my part, the messenger is probably going to trim the input anyway and even if not nobody will notice), so the input sequence is spacespacebackspaceenter, rapidly and with no time to see mistakes. So sometimes the messages end with a superfluous capital M or L.

You'll get over it.
I think it was trying to correct to "tough butt crack".

Android's tap and hold for umlauts works pretty OK for me. As for capitalization ... not every language is German, so when I'm too lazy to do proper capitalization, I just switch to a different language with slightly less tedious capitalization rules.

Some of the default software keyboards are truly awful; it varies a lot by device manufacturer. Fortunately you can install a different keyboard. It's just another app (with unusual permissions) and there's a whole bunch of them in the app store.
The last time I lost my temper with the default keyboard was on a Samsung tablet a few weeks ago where it was insisting on replacing

... when typing a web address into the address bar of Chrome. And then triggering the search function immediately somehow. Thank God for blood pressure medicine!

@dkf I just read up a bit on MAUI and what platforms they support. The big ones are done by Microsoft themselves, of course, and then they state: "Well, there's also Tizen but that platform is supported by Samsung directly".
Lolnope.
Especially considering that Samsung just announced that they'd abandon Tizen for their Smartwatches. I think it's only SmartTVs left with Tizen at this point?

In this case it is the default "GBoard" keyboard that comes on Pixels. So the developers responsible for this presumably work for Google.

I've not had problems with them over quite a few years... except for the keyboard. The hardware itself has been good. There are a lot worse.

Samsung hardware tends to be decent. It's the software that's almost always crap.

NFC. Image sharpening?
I feel like there's some joke to be made about blurry clowns, creepy low-resolution houses and whatever their method reconstructs in the figure 6 instead of peppers, but it currently escapes me.
Well, yes, sharpening and other reconstruction of the image after it has been run through a transformation that can be expressed as a matrix product. The part is that the matrix doesn't have an inverse, making the problem ill-posed.

ENERGY EFFICIENT - With an F energy rating, this freezer helps to keep costs and your carbon footprint to a minimum
F ... isn't that like the second lowest rating on that scale?
(To be fair, small freezer + energy efficiency seems like a no go. :-/)
-
@cvi Aren't freezers one of the things they recently-ish changed the scale for because A+++ was getting too common?
-
@Polygeekery Just saw this, and thought it apropos:

@PleegWat Makes sense that they'd need to update the scale every now and then. But putting the fact that the thing you're selling got an F as a selling point ... .

On the EU scale yeah.
I bought some new LED light bulbs recently which came rated for two scales.
EU & Northern Ireland: F
Great Britain: A+Seemed a bit daft the two scales were so different.

: This has a "southwestern brownie a la mode." I wonder what makes it southwestern?
: They probably put hot peppers on it.
: [reads off a description of a very fancy and delicious-sounding brownie dish... right up until the last ingredient: "chili threads"]

@Mason_Wheeler sounds tasty, although maybe would be better with the chili in the brownie and not on top.
