The last time Evernote raised it prices I decided to get rid, and discovered a project called paperless https://paperless.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html. Which scans documents (pdf/jpegs) and OCRs them to make them searchable.
As for me that was one of the most useful features of evernote premium, or whatever it's called now.
Not only that, my then pre-wife called 111 for advice during pregnancy. Which resulted in an ambulance being called out due to the answer she gave to one of the questions. Only by asking for the 111-ers supervisor was she able to cancel the ambulance advice.
She was a trainee midwife at the time, so actually wanted to talk to someone who knew they were talking about rather than some script following drone.
You only need a license if you watch live tv:
From tv license website: "The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorders.
You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch ‘catch up’ services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD."
So you can watch iplayer etc, and considering lovefilm and netflix combined are about the same price as a tv license and that's what we watch more. I get to save money!
Yay.
