It's not very useful. But, I can start a program from an app which is a lot easier than understanding all the little logos on the unit. Plus I have more flexibility to tweak it, like be faster or gentler or schedule it to cheaper electricity hours all much more easily and intuitively than in the panel.

Also timer, remote start, and letting me know when it's done are something I might use once in a blue moon.

Can I live without it, hell yes, but is it a totally useless gimmick... Well 50/50.

Religion's weakest argument is the claim that the world was intelligently designed. When it so clearly isn't.

Simulation theory doesn't claim someone designed all this. They built a simulator where all this evolution and history happened, like emergent gameplay on steroids. It's not the same kind of "design" we're talking about.

Outlook is fine, but you can tell there is no real competition and they just haven't really bothered putting any effort into it for years.

I don't get why they aren't retiring notepad instead. WordPad is just as light and fast while having more features.

Not that I really care, I never touch either ever since MS basically stopped developing them 25 years ago. Notepad++, atom, etc, there are so many superb lightweight editors out there.

I would add that France is the 7th largest economy in the world. Germany 5th. South Korea 13th.

Working time matters much less than the slave-driving CEOs or workaholics would have you believe. 1 week vs 6 weeks off a year is like a 10% difference. That's a pitiful variance compared to how much our productivity is affected by liking our job, being motivated, not being overworked, etc.
