  • Research papers in creative cloud? I am guessing she is using something like InDesign or illustrator to make pdfs or maybe Acrobat? I think you need to clarify what her workflow entails to get better answers.

    But going with my assumptions, it sounds like she can get away with using some kind of Office suit instead, maybe 365? not that it would solve the enshitification of apps problem… But I do consider it a stable program both as installed apps and on the web. There are also endless tutorials and support to get if she is running into issues.

    With that said, it is probably not worth it if she is a boomer. It would take a long time to get into a new workflow and it would affect her output. If she is used to adobe she should probably stick to it.







  • Yes it is very interesting. I have friends who buy solar panels and home batteries with one of the ideas being in case of emergency being able to go complete ‘island’. I argue that is all well and good, but within 1h the broadband, and 4g/5g does down, any longer than that you can’t even make a phonecall from a regular cellphone and your smarthouse will probably not work anymore because it requires an active connection. After a few hours all the food at the nearest supermarket will be spoiled and thrown away. My point being, it is very nice idea in theory to get all this tech but I think you have to realize how dependent you still are of the infrastructure around you. And even if you have heat and light for yourself it does not really give you much more time being comfortable in a crisis, best case you can cook a few more meals and have the light on for maybe a day longer than your neighbors, but that is it.
