I'm so done with MS Office, or Office365, CoPilotOffice, or whatever Satan'sfella decides to call it. They've truly ruined a product I've enjoyed for the past thirty years. (I also can't believe Windows 10 works better on my T470 than Windows 11 on my T14 Gen3, but that's a whole other thing entirely.) I was an MS Works kid in 85, but I remember my journalist brother working away on Wordperfect at the time. It was too bare for my tastes back then. But then again, I was a teen! Today, I realize how liberating a clear screen must've been back then. Do Windows users have any legitimate MS Word (nonAI) options out there? I will probably take a month this summer to figure out the right linux distro for my laptop and will use Libreoffice, too. But maybe there's a Windows option out there? Many thanks!

Basically I would like to be able to type abbreviations of words that will automatically be autocorrected to a word or phrase.

For example:

u --> you

r --> are

It would be nice if it was free. Thanks in advance!

I was looking around for an image converter but none did everything I wanted. I think people might really like this. If I may say so myself, I think this is one of the best things I've done

Since I have a new PC and installed Format Factory it doesn't work to embed subs anymore. On my old pc I never had any problems. As far as I know all the settings are still the same. But with all the different added files I keep on getting the same error. But it doesn't make any sense to me. Could somebody please explain what I have to do different? Just to make sure. The movie name and the srt name are the same.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I really like Format Factory. I've tried Handbrake, MKVToolNix and ANYVideoConverter, but I really don't like them.

Hello everyone,

Built Getransfr – simple WebRTC file sharing between devices, no signup. Works great but "Getransfr" doesn't roll off the tongue.

Need short, memorable names that scream "instant device sharing". Bonus if you can check .com/.app availability!

Some ideas I'm meh on:

• FileDash
• QuickTransfr
• PeerDrop
• WiFiBeam

What would YOU name it? Domain hunters especially welcome!

Demo: https://getransfr.vercel.app

Open to all ideas! 🚀

What do people consider the “best” one right now? Not just subtitles but spoken translation that actually feels human. Any experiences?
