It's amazing to me when wildly successful companies have a great thing going and choose to try to squeeze customers instead of giving them reasons to be loyal, and then self-destruct.

Adobe and Unity both come to mind.

I don't think I've seen a brand increase margins at the cost of customer satisfaction, successfully.

I understand not everyone is able to get rid of Adobe and their eco-system immediately, but I had the last straw after 1) they slapped a cloud integration on top of perfectly working offline softwares and labelling it Creative Cloud, fucking over existing customers who had prepaid offline licenses and 2) they got hacked and a lot of their customers's credit card info was stolen and many of them had fraudulent transactions on their cards (including mine). They didn't even do a proper disclosure until it blew right in their face.

I thought they would have changed by now, several years later. Turns out, they secretly modified the TOS to steal their customers' intellectual property - content the customers have invested 1000s of dollars into, simply because of the usage of creative cloud to train their AI models. That too, blew up in their face. I am not sure why anyone would even trust or use Adobe in 2025. Honestly.

I have since then switched to the Affinity Suite (serif.com) and never looked back. So, for what it's worth, fuck Adobe and I hope they burn to the ground with their scammy practices.

I think an AutoHotKey script could do that (if it runs on Windows 11. I couldn’t easily find that on its site). Approach would be:

- in a “caps lock key pressed” handler, set a timer (https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/SetTimer.htm) that runs every ten seconds

- in that timer, check the value of A_TimeIdleKeyboard (https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/Variables.htm#TimeIdleKey...)

- if it’s too large, call SetCapsLockState (https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/SetNumScrollCapsLockS...) and stop the timer

- otherwise, compute a new ideal delay from the desired run interval and A_TimeIdleKeyboard, and update the time interval

You also wail want to prevent starting multiple timers if you enable caps lock multiple times.

Nokia also had a ex-Microsoft exec (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Elop) that had the goal of ensuring Windows Phone would succeed, and tanked Nokia with it.

I was on the DVLUP project where Nokia and Microsoft attempted to inject energy into windows phone app development. We could see the tension between the two companies as we were a 3rd party contracted by Nokia to build the platform. The Nokia exec we were in contact with was fantastic, and really tried to make Windows Phone a success. Unfortunately the Nokia IT teams we worked with were not happy and essentially tried to sabotage through inactions (we just needed OAuth / SSO to link accounts and track app installs, it took over 3 months of email chains within Nokia).

Thanks for the great suggestions! I’ll keep those advanced extraction and vector features in mind, and I’m also looking into enhanced image compression. Really appreciate the support—stay tuned!
