In DuckDuckGo, if you search for a currency symbol (I’ve not tried obscure ones) and tap on the ‘Currency’ heading on the right, you get a little converter with one unit of that currency inputted. You could bookmark this page for future reference. Alternatively, you can search for say $17 and go to the ‘Currency’ heading and have that value pre-filled. The rates seem to be from the previous day, so this is for people who don’t need precision and don’t want to install yet another app which costs money…or is free with shitty adverts or uses up space on their old, chock-a-block device.
@matigo Yeah, lots of things are technically possible. But they’re not always a good idea.
@matigo I can’t decide whether to keep the physical things after ripping. I have pouches of discs but I don’t really need them if I can trust my backup system. Books can’t be ripped, nor would I want them to be.
Been acquiring lots of DVDs and books recently. A lot more of the former to be accurate, because books demand a lot more time. Sometimes it’s nice to just be a sponge.
@matigo I think people 500 years ago are seen as The Other. The past is a foreign country after all.
@jws You had me confused for a minute there, but then I remembered you Americans run your cars on 'gas'.
@phoneboy I loved using Netscape Composer back when I.S.P.s used to give you twenty or fifty free megabytes of webspace. Lots of fun. I would never have made any websites without what you see is what you get.
