Screenshot of text: Retirement of Microsoft Lens The Microsoft Lens app will be retired from iOS and Android devices starting January 9, 2026, and will no longer be supported after February 9.

#Skystorians, now that Microsoft is retiring the Lens app (seemingly to force OneDrive, cloud storage (and thus possibly AI) down our throats), what's everyone favourite all-around scan-to-PDF app solution for the archives ? (hopefully one that supports resizing, cropping, and saving locally)

Blue book cover reading "Immunity on Trial: Ethiopian Courts, Chinese Corporations and Contestations over Sovereignty", Miriam Driessen
Introduction section of the book (available following the link on the publisher's website). It reads: "Introduction Everyone had retreated to rest in the scarce shade when Benli Li mounted a loader parked on the construction site.! He was bantering with an Ethiopian laborer under his direction and dared him to step into the machine's bucket. The worker complied, perhaps hesitant to go against his expatriate manager's request or eager to prove his courage. The Chinese foreman ignited the engine. The machine shot forward. Within moments, the young man lost his balance and landed on the ground. Unable to bring the machine to a halt, Li drove over him. On July 24, 2016, the Supreme Court of Amhara, Ethiopia, summonsed the twenty-six-year-old site supervisor to a hearing of its mobile bench at Debre Tabor, a mountain town in South Gondar. The state prosecutor demanded a prison sentence, charging Li with homicide caused by severe negligence. Li, however, did not appear, and the local police failed to find him. Months went by before the court arranged a new hearing. Yet again, the police officers of Farta Wereda, the rural county in which the incident occurred, visited the Chinese camp and returned empty-handed. They requested another adjournment. "This time", they wrote in their note to the Supreme Court, "we promise that we will bring him to court."3 They failed yet again. As procedure requires, the court then turned to the national press agency. It placed a public summons in the English-language newspaper The Ethiopian Herald and its Amharic counterpart Addis Zemen, calling"

Everyone, tag yourself as a 1930s Shanghai cartoonist #menswear
