Right now I see you are 11 of 34 comments on this post and all follow this same dismissive tone. Lighten up and let people enjoy stuff.

My understanding is that you get $20 in api credits each month and a one time $100 until mid September. So you can still use the model with a subscription but you aren't getting an…

I think it depends on how you use it. All things in moderation and all. I've had one for years but when I set it up it only allowed it a few notifications. When meetings start duri…

You don't need to put in a lot of effort to convince people that creepy, deceitful, generally unlikable, rich folks are doing things you won't like and are lying to get away with i…

> That's the most annoying thing about password managers, and a major reason I still don't use them: there exists no password manager that is cross-platform (desktop/mobile in part…

The thing about PC though is that there is no exclusivity. Steam built an extremely well respected brand but if that were to turn, the moat is shallow, install a competing client a…

It has had one for months. The desktop app has a "code" mode which is Claude Code in GUI form

128MB ram... Your hard disk could be upgraded to 12.8GB of total space for an extra $50. Also, you get this _sweet_ 8MB nVidia 3d graphics card!

Funny enough I have only encountered two voice modes that were okay to use tools and they are so far out there that you wouldn't even think to try. Bixby and Perplexity (in android…

Government Regulations[1] > According to the Costco U.K. website, memberships to those stores are only available to certain groups of people. Since the store is classified as a who…

Probably not, it just re-baselines. Now the scams aren't for bread money but are for entertainment money. If the time resource isn't changing and the effort isn't changing but the …

At the time it was happening I recall thinking "This should be a typical flair up that'll die down to smolders in a couple of weeks and life will continue" as so many dicey interne…

You need to format it as code. (Blank line followed by code lines, indented by 2+ spaces) Console Price -> Old New ------------------------------------------------ Xbox Series S 51…

Asus's AI Suite has been around a lot longer than that. My 2014 Motherboard has the same software, it came on a CD with the board. it was sold as a utility for continual performanc…

English really doesn't have a good way of broadly saying "lack of a trait" that isn't "adverse to a trait". In coding we have to have specific terms for lack thereof that is distin…

I'd much rather know that something I think should work won't and where it happens. Bad advice can't become good advice in a vacuum.

> Mixed metaphors, style over substance, and the idea that "flat" is anything but a way to turn your display into a sludge of rectangles of slightly different shades of grey with l…

If it is mostly your own tooling you may want to look at setting up a dev drive. It is supposed to be more optimized around workloads that would normally spin stuff like defender o…

Every one of those sections can be trivially turned off in the settings. Mine just have the list of apps I installed on my device.

Animations on software are infuriatingly slow these days. I turn on dev mode on my android phone for 2 settings. DPI and double animation speed. Simply to compensate for software d…

I like to ask this question: "Can I make this system do what I need it to do while being able to stay with the existing architecture or do I need to become a special case?" There i…

I've been using GLM-5/5.1 for about 6 months and it has been a fairly capable model. I've seen a lot of mixed opinions that tend to align with harness usage so it is worth trying o…

I've been using charm's Crush with GLM for several months and it's been working great. I've only seen it shift to non-english once and it was already in a wonky state when it flipp…

So many things rely on date bound certificates now that local doesn't assure continued operation, see the recent Mac Office 2019 stories. I feel like there are so many of these tic…

Costco's code of ethics makes this really simple, it is too bad it, or a variation thereof, isn't more commonly observed. In order of overriding priority 1. Obey the Law 2. Support…
