Microsoft has software to allow just that. It's called "Your Phone."
And yes, you need to link it to your phone using an app on your phone, but after that you should be able to text from your PC.
But if you don't have a phone and just want to send SMS messages to people using your PC, then I second Google Voice as an option.-Deozaan (December 02, 2018, 04:53 PM)
Many thanks for your quick response.
Reviews of suggested software are mixed! It requires registering from smartphone.
Ideally, registering and using from PC rather than smartphone involvement.-spooz2 (December 02, 2018, 11:29 AM)
Advocate of the devil here: Would it then not become just a numbers game? This post is liked by x amount of people on this forum? What does that add exactly?-Shades (November 30, 2018, 08:09 AM)
The point of it would be so that you could express thanks or approval or give some form of feedback without having to create a new reply which would therefore ping everyone who has signed up to be notified of new replies. It also helps keep threads on topic instead of having a bunch of superfluous "thanks" or "nice" replies.
This would be especially handy, IMO, in threads such as the latest Steam or GOG giveaways.
As things are now, I have to choose between no reply at all (which can give the OP the idea that nobody cared about what they had to say/share) or possibly bothering a bunch of people with notifications just to say something like "thanks" or "I enjoyed that" etc. Often times I choose the former.-Deozaan (November 30, 2018, 11:17 AM)

This is exactly my thinking behind the "upvote/like" system. There happens to be a lot of posts on DC where there are no replies at all because the reader may feel like it's "interesting" but have nothing useful to add to the topic. Clicking "Like" will allow the writer to know they didn't just waste their time and that the content was appreciated in some way-Stephen66515 (November 30, 2018, 11:21 AM)

I wonder if it's a new(ish) policy to just drop off the package and leave.-Deozaan (November 17, 2018, 08:23 PM)
I get notifications on my phone from UPS, USPS, and Amazon, whenever a package is delivered. Amazon even sends me a photo of the package sitting in my hallway.-app103 (November 21, 2018, 10:39 PM)
How did you get that set up?-wraith808 (November 21, 2018, 11:27 PM)
UPS MyChoice
USPS Informed Delivery
And Amazon has their own contractors that deliver in my area. I also have Amazon Prime, and their app installed on my phone. Not sure if there is anything else that one has to do to get alerts when one of their contractors drops off a package.-app103 (November 22, 2018, 05:46 PM)
One minor weakness, it does not remember after a reboot.-Steven Avery (November 24, 2018, 12:25 PM)
What doesn't survive a reboot? The pinned shortcut in your taskbar? If so, it seems to survive for me under Windows 7.-skwire (November 24, 2018, 03:42 PM)
@Moderator: Probably best if you tack this thread onto the other.-4wd (November 23, 2018, 08:41 PM)
Applicationize might work for you. I use it for several webapps that don't have a dedicated desktop version. About the only thing I really miss is the ability to "close to tray" that most desktop apps have (but that's a very minor niggle). FWIW, if you're worried about privacy implications, the project and code are on GitHub. You can also still use the "More tools > Create Shortcut" option in Chrome but I prefer the wholly separate process and window that Applicationize creates.-skwire (November 23, 2018, 04:23 PM)
