Bulk email can have several purposes other than spam. Communicating policy changes and announcing new features, for example.
Now to answer OP's question: I have to admit my company doesn't allow the use of any non-approved software, so I make do with MergeMail in Word. Yeah, rudimentar, but does the job.
I'm a GenZ working with data. Most of my friends also work with "computer stuff" (data, digital design, online marketing etc).
Most of us have laptops for work only. We usually have conversations about ditching our laptops because we often associate it with the stress of our jobs. Being on a computer for me is almost the same as working, so if I can get away from my laptop I will do it.
Phones on the other hand are more associated with, well, everything else. Social contact, convenience, leisure (music, books) etc.
After I finished my master's the first thing I did was ditch my laptop and only used a smartphone for more than a year. Then I got a job with online marketing and had to get a laptop again because typing and having multiple tabs open were more convenient.
Take all of this as anecdote, however -- this is just me and my social circle. Where I live I know many GenZ who don't even have PCs (some don't even know how to use them proficiently). I however know a few GenZ who are almost PC addicts (gaming, hacking etc).
Interesting, then you just use a smartphone for everything? I would never be able to do any serious stuff on a phone, like shopping and comparing prices, doing any sensitive banking related stuff, etc. I mainly use my phone for Reddit, HN, YouTube and music/podcasts/audiobooks. I do have banking apps and Amazon on there but I don't use them for any serious shopping. I use my laptop for everything mainly.
Yes, it's more convenient to use a laptop, but I guess sometimes GenZ are so used to using our phones that even those tasks don't bother. Personally, I prefer writing on actual keyboards, and researching on a laptop browser (tabs!), but everything else is perfectly fine on phones.
> looking [...] for selected opinions making it easier for you to justify your decision to yourself.
Exactly this! I noticed I have a habit of doing this for everything I "choose" in my life. If I choose to buy X, I go online looking for opinions to validate my decision; if I choose to take Y sport, I do the same; if I feel inclined to belive in Z theory or follow W philosophy, I do the same.
I know what I want and believe, but I still find it hard to just trust myself and dive into it, rather I have to always justify it to myself by means of external opinions.
This may not be the best place to ask, but do you have any idea on how to deal with this "lack of confidence in my own choices"?
Stephen Fry is considered one of the best audiobook readers of all time. This AI voice is still better than 100% of AI audiobooks in the market, and likely better than a good portion of HUMAN readers as well.
Clearly the point of the video is its AUDIO content, not the visuals. The lack of a "4k version" does not make any difference other than saving you bandwith :-)
