I don't really feel it's taking anything away, and in fact, it is providing me with something I've never done after 25+ years in IT doing everything BUT - development. I've always done networking (isp, datacenter, large

The motorola phones are neat, especially razr's, but practically disposable with their dismal update support lasting in some cases only a year or a major version I'd read. Selling me a $1500usd flip phone that is practically dispo

Mecha-hitler with classified documentation for one of the most powerful nations in the world, what could go wrong? I guess it can't be any worse than letting pedophiles run the government already as Musk is part of the pedo-clique alre

My quality of usage with Claude has degraded heavily since last week of December that I've stopped using Claude entirely now and mostly found a Codex suitable, and goes much further. I was maxing out usage on Claude Max 5x in absurd wa

They don't want their backdoors they allowed and buffoonery in securing/managing them exposed. This is only the wireless providers, now what about all the residential ISP's like Comcast, Cox, Charter, etc? They're even m

It's an uptime service from DataDog, and enterprise event/log/siem/monitoring/apm company, like Splunk. So what they do is watch uptime stuff for your favorite large business.

I tried an iphone once about 6 years ago, but once I realized all browsers were essentially safari and there WAS NO ADBLOCKING, I was disgusted to emphatically go back to Android and Firefox with ublock plus. Apple is like the US government

Brave was found to be mostly different adware years ago I thought. It's a degoogle'd chrome essentially, but replaced with their adware instead of google's. If you want a clean chrome, use ungoogled-chromium. Like IE6, some s

Chrome is the new IE6. Google set themselves up to be the next Microsoft and is "ad friendly" in all the creepy ways because that's what Google IS an ad company. All they've contributed to security is diminishing the cap

If I'm attempting to use it as a service to do continuous checks on things and it fails 50% of the time, I'd say yes, wouldn't you?

Yeah using Claude-Desktop is broken current, all my mcp tool calls keep failing and retrying, then it'll work for a bit, and stop again. In just retrying in an Opus chat in desktop to make it finish doing what I started it's waste

Hmm, so suddenly my stuck chats are compacting and moving on vs starting and immediately stopping again ad nauseam, seems like they fixed something finally?

My normal day job is IT consulting, network/security mostly, so I'm using it largely to connect to my workers, sandboxed or not, to make me scripts to do things, modify configurations, and I built out an ansible/terraform int

About my not having a software background, I started this as I've been a network/security/systems engineer/architect/consultant for 25 years, but never dev work. I can read and follow code well enough to debug thing

I tried codex, using my same sandbox setup with it. Normally I work with sonnet in code, but it was stuck on a problem for hours, and I thought hmm, let me try codex. Codex just started monkey patching stuff and broke everything within like

That's about what I'm getting too! It just literally stops at some point, and any new prompt it starts, then immediately stops. This was even on a fairly short conversation with maybe 5-6 back and forth dialogs.

I tried Gemini like a year or so ago, and I gave up after it directly refused to write me a script and instead tried to tell me how to learn to code. I do not make this up.

I started using claude-code, but found it pretty useless without any ability to talk to other chats. Claude recommended I make my own MCP server, so I did. I built a wrapper script to invoke anthropic's sandbox-runtime toolkit to invok

I've been doing something a lot like this, using a claude-desktop instance attached to my personal mcp server to spawn claude-code worker nodes for things, and for a month or two now it's been working great using the main desktop

I've been using lawnchair as a launcher that is open source (apache) since the first news broke months when the previous dev/owner warned people what was coming, and it works just fine. Not quite as versatile as Nova Launcher, but

I've used nova on every android I've had since it came out to current, and when the former owner/dev warned people, I switched to lawnchair and didn't look back. Sounded like shenanigans and time to pull the ripcord on n

After some 25 years of consulting/professional services in IT and working probably a dozen or more health care industry businesses or hospitals themselves, I can honestly say they are the worst clients and most I will simply refuse now
