There's also a Base64URL variant that is a little more friendly in the modern world where the +/= often need escape sequences.
The first two are replaced with more sensible characters and the third is just removed entirely - do you really need padding?
Yes there's software for this, but I think you can keep it simpler than that.
Just tell them to create a new spreadsheet every day (possibly by creating a copy of yesterday's spreadsheet). Obviously name the files by date. With a new directory for each month.
Also, it sounds like they don't have good backups. Help them with that.
My feedback on the poll: it was too small to get a representative sample.
Also - while I'm as happy as anyone to read satire, I don't understand how it can fit with "a place to share and discuss news". Satire is not news. It belongs in a different community.
I'm all for this as a soft rule, but so many articles have terrible headlines that it can't be a fixed one.
Also, a lot of the news sites I follow do A/B testing on every title. So every article has two titles.
My advice is avoid tablets entirely. Even the best ones are not even remotely as good as paper.
Lots of people recommending the Supernote A5 X... I haven't tried it, but a quick search says it has "15-20ms" of latency. I have an iPad (which I don't consider usable for notes*) and it has 7ms latency which is too high in my opinion.
If you really must have your notes in digital form... try Whitelines paper notebooks. Their main feature is light grey paper with white lines, but more importantly they have subtle locator code on the four corners of the page, and Whitelines has a free phone app that uses those locator codes to perfectly sort out the perspective when you take a photo of the page to digitise it. That system works a lot better than regular edge detection other apps use, and also the white lines work better than grey or blue lines.
Officeworks has Whitelines notebooks. They're available in various sizes and the same price as any other premium notebook (not as cheap as the Officeworks house brand... but it's also better paper than that brand).
(* my iPad Mini is used as a portable web browser for situations where my phone is too small and my laptop is too big- which is a situation I find myself in regularly as part of my job.... I have tired using it for notes and definitely don't recommend it for that - a phone is definitely better than an iPad for note taking)
I'd bet sites blocking ChatGPT will regret it when (not if) Bing starts using it for search engine relevance.
Those batteries in your photo are NiMH batteries... which discharge on their own at a fairly rapid rate even if you're not using them at all. They're also pretty big and heavy for the amount of power they provide (which, due to the self-discharge issue, is effectively a lot lower than the official number on the battery).
I strongly recommend investing in devices that use 18650 batteries. They're about the same size/weight as a AA, and they last much longer (both in terms of from full to flat and also the number of years (decades?) of use you'll get from the battery.
A lot of "proprietary" batteries are in fact a bunch of 18650 cells wired together.
It's worth investing in good ones - the quality varies significantly from brand to the next. With a good 18650 cell, you won't be replacing it when the battery expires, you'll be transferring it to a new gadget when the gadget is broken or so old that you decided to buy a new/better model.
They might want to, but it's illegal.
The "quiet period" is a reference to an SEC law that forces any company to be radio silent for a strict 40 day period during the IPO process. Reddit is in that period now and therefore they cannot say a word.
JPMorgan was fined almost a billion dollars for answering questions on a phone call during their quiet period.
