pdfs are really good

my favourite thing about pdfs is you can send stuff to other people who are not computer touchers to read and they will just read it. unlike a word doc or any other trash format, which they will inevitably gently caress up and ruin the whole file in some novel way.

this also works on valued business partners who like to 'redesign' my images in paint or powerpoint, apparently taking a screenshot isn't common knowledge

apple macs can natively look at pdfs.. can windows? apple iphones CANNOT natively look at QR codes. this is hosed

Actually iPhones natively interpret QR codes and a whole bunch of other useful stuff but Apple doesn't expose the functionality in the UI even though it would be trivial bc they want people to make and sell apps to do basic stuff.

"The faster you use your cooldowns, the faster you can use them again"
we have a lab/manufacturing division and we were looking at using all kinds of integrations/barcodes to make the awful old machinery talk to each other but instead we just mounted cameras over the displays

now we use text recognition software to "read" the displays and pipe the info to the next machine or a db

tfw pdf "document" thats just a picture of text

this but with crappy OCR so you copy text and it's still useless. Or they used latex to generate it, same result.

sales dept dude wanted us to buy a doby acrobat full version so he could make pdfs from MS word. Just print and scan that poo poo instead, cheaper, faster, doesn't run bollocks in tray all the time.
