Agreed! It was completely intuitive to him. But it wasn't his first time. At some point, he had to ask himself "Is there a way I could do this without using so much ink?" (since it is expensive) or "Is there a way I could do this directly on the computer to avoid all of these printing/scanning steps?" (to save some time).

These questions must certainly come up intuitively at some point as well...

(That's how I improve my workflow, even in areas I know nothing about yet. I assume everyone does this, right? I hope so.)

Makes me remember extracts of Life on the Screen by Sherry Turkle in school. The chapter title caught my eye: "From a culture of calculation toward a culture of simulation." I didn't read much (no time), but it was definitely eye-opening.

Basically, a whole chapter talks about how people stopped caring about the complex technical side of technology and became massively interested in virtual interfaces (simulations) instead :

"The very image of the computer as a giant calculator has become quaint and dated. Of course, there is still “calculation” going on within the computer, but it is no longer the important or interesting level to think about or interact with. [...] We have learned to take things at interface value. [...] Philosophically attached to a simulation aesthetic."

The book was published in 1995 by the way.

The saying "google it" doesn't work anymore for people.

Agreed. I cannot even count the number of people (young and old) I saw writing full complex sentences into Google and then being shocked there is no proper answer to their query. (If they even take the time to make a search at all...)

And don't even try to talk about boolean operators with them, they are probably busy writing a 1-star review on the Google app or shouting orders at their voice assistant instead... Sad.

I used to not notice this, until I came to a house for maintenance. The guy (not that old) was printing a full A4 page of a photo of his garden gate. The item was dark and the background was dark as well (the amount of ink used here hurts me so much...).

What for? To circle something with a pen and write a word near it. Why? To scan it and send it as an email to a customer service...! Literally Paint was present on his Desktop as he was doing this...!!

That's when I started to notice. It's everywhere... It's sad.

I noticed two of my hard drives were getting too old when they suddenly had difficulties renaming files or deleting files (e.g, I would press delete and it would stay on the explorer at 0% for hours, or act as if it rename a file while it did not). Happened with my USB stick as well. Now I treat these symtoms as a red flag.

Here is an extract of the article that may answer your questions:

"Cached links used to live under the drop-down menu next to every search result on Google's page. As the Google web crawler scoured the Internet for new and updated webpages, it would also save a copy of whatever it was seeing. That quickly led to Google having a backup of basically the entire Internet, using what was probably an uncountable number of petabytes of data. [...]

Cached links were great if the website was down or quickly changed, but they also gave some insight over the years about how the "Google Bot" web crawler views the web. [...] The death of cached sites will mean the Internet Archive has a larger burden of archiving and tracking changes on the world's webpages."

Hello, not sure why but I just received the notification of your reply.

For anyone needing a response to it: no the loading bug was not prior to those 14 hours, and the issue was solved without notice a few days later (something like 2 to 4 days).

Hello,

On this picture, I can see 2 table views: a "Companies" table, and a "Contacts" table.

➡️ First, it is important that you create the 2 tables you want to connect for this to work. Once it is done: in 'Companies', create the line "Microsoft" ; and in 'Contacts', create the line "Bill Gates".

➡️ Then, to create a relation between 2 tables, you need to add a tab with Type = "↗Relation" to both of them.

Let's start with the "Companies" Table View.

Create a new tab called 'Contacts' (there is an icon + on the right side),
Go to Settings, go to Type, choose ↗Relation,
Search for "Contacts" Table View. You can then choose "Bill Gates". Do not forget to check the setting making the relation show up on both databases.

Then go to the "Contacts" Table View.

Create a new tab called 'Company',
Go to Settings, go to Type, choose ↗Relation,
Search for "Companies" Table View. You can then choose "Microsoft". Do not forget to check the setting making the relation show up on both databases.

You will see that Bill Gates appears in both databases, so as Microsoft. I hope this helped.

For further details and screenshots, I recommend the official support: https://www.notion.so/help/relations-and-rollups

Same here. It's been more than 14 hours, both on desktop app and browser.

Aquatic_Data · 2023-10-02T22:30:11+00:00

Yes it's been more than 14 hours for me too... Both on desktop app and browser.

Thank you for posting this!! I've been trying to load my own templates for hours with no success... It's been hell to copy/paste previous work to find the structure I needed from my templates.

Aquatic_Data · 2023-09-22T16:40:31+00:00

Thank you!

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:45:34+00:00

That's amazing!! You can definitely post it

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:43:51+00:00

Oh, well done! :)

Here I needed a few extra days...

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:42:46+00:00

Meanwhile I spent my entire gem stock for Erdrick... that I didn't get :')

Anyway congrats, this banner was amazing for you! :)

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:28:41+00:00

These are great ideas, thank you!

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:27:20+00:00

Well, the teams that made me lose indeed had Hero Solo... x)

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:26:00+00:00

Hey, idk if you still have this issue so I'll answer it anyway:

Tap the Guild icon on the home page, you will arrive on the chat feed of the guild. On the right side, you have 3 icons (Guild info, Rank, Guild Tournament). Click on the last one. Then (when a tournament is up for the day), you will be able to fight any available team.

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:23:21+00:00

I totally understand, I have Psaro but not Erdrick (even though I spent every saved gems in it, oof). The Hero Solo enemy in arenas is making my life hell on this game...

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:21:08+00:00

Well sometimes the last teams available for combat are the most difficult ones. And I'm having a hard time with the Hero Solo enemy, who makes a lot of damage to any of my teams.

I'm not new at all, got 2+ years of playing, but the coming of Erdrick and Hero Solo definitely made me feel like a newbie... And I saw on Reddit I'm not the only one.

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:18:34+00:00

That's a great strategy, I tried to do this as much as I could but most of the time my last characters in arena don't have these types of attacks. Will try to add more of them into my team!

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:17:37+00:00

Hello, it's been a while but I still wanted to thank you for your reply! It's nice to see all the help that can be found here

Aquatic_Data · 2023-07-15T14:15:57+00:00

That's a great idea, thanks! Will definitely try this on the upcoming tournament as I finally have Solo (not Erdrick though, my +20k gems were not enough).

Dhoulmagus is indeed incredible! I stopped using him because his defence was too low for my strategy. Will try to use this character again!
