Lol I hope yall enjoy as much as I did.

For those that don't see it at first.. 1 Plex for $188.95 is a bit of a scam I think.

That's the premium, designer-label PLEX.

CCP should offer a 'Double Your PLEX' deal, for each PLEX you send them, they will double it.

That's an intelligence test. Not a scam.

I feel tempted to buy it at that price just to rub it under their nose ...
... i wonder if that pricing strategy works......

Yeah they just keep it there for the greedy ones who want it fast ...
... though i think the miscalculation would be more effective on anything but one single plex.

There are some mysteries about this. ^_^

I see someone scammed you out of your printscreen button.

It's actually much quicker for me in most circumstances ...
... especially because it's literally just two buttons and I put the phone away again.

Is it sad that I somehow suspect that far more people know how to take a photo with their phone than those who know they can do just the very same thing on their keyboard without the need of their phone?

Yes... ALTGr+Print, or just Print, CTRL+V on imgur.

Now go do it on a windows tablet.
When I hear you rage about the virtual keyboard not being hidden, I'll know you actually did it.
Then go and try to upload onto imgur on your tablet, using the virtual keyboard and CTRL+V.


And even if it's not a tablet-PC, it's still faster this way because of the loss of beaurocrazy.

When I use the mobile I grab it, open the cam from the lockscreen, shoot, click share, imgur.
Somewhere in between I open the browser and point it at my imgur account.
Now I just do something else and alt+tab over ten seconds later to retriever the image.


The alternative is to take a screenshot using the keyboard.
Do I use a fullscreen or window? Is there anything compromising on the screen?
That's not happening with the cam at all, where you concentrate on what you want to shoot.
The smaller frame makes it easy to discard everything around.

Then I open the browser, head to imgur.com and click upload.
Then I press CTRL+V.
Then I wait.
Then I check again if the image is okay and nothing's compromising.

And if that's not the case I would have to edit it, or redo it.

Using the camera is the far better option for quick low quality shots.

Which you, of course, didn't even consider.



Thank you for trying to tell us that your way is the better way ...
... despite it actually not being the better way at all ...
... under circumstances where quality isn't even remotely a factor.


Cheers, mate!

This is a good program, haven't tried it with a tablet but might work ok.

or maybe just issues of ppl with multiple monitors on Windows - I had it at some point too anthought I've workarounded it by moving browser to the main monitor instead of secondary one....

only to realise later that in this version of windows it screenshots all monitors and paste them later one by one :P
