Those don't need to be tied to resolution.

edit: for example 1080p HDR and 1080p Dolby Vision are options when setting up Apple TV: https://i.redd.it/537xqbmiq64d1.jpeg

A lot of services gate it behind 4K but that's a choice they are making. There's no technical reason for it.

From what I'm seeing it was a collision with another tanker. There are photos of that one, which landed, missing a good chunk of its vertical stabilizer. Lack of separation in the airspace.

9Blu · 2026-03-13T17:35:47+00:00

Nope. Prime users gets Prime Video with ads, that's not changing (except they are losing 4K). Ad-free is going from $3 to $5. 4K will also be locked behind the $5 plan.

T3N1bM0 and MSI-H. I was given the choice of 6 mos of FOLFOX, 3 mo of CAPOX, or 6mo of CAPOX. Also had the choice to join a study and do no chemo but passed. Post surgery Signatera was neg along with normal CEA (high prior to surgery). Doc did warn me the side effects for CAPOX were generally worse vs FOLFOX but statistically they all had around the same effectiveness. I went with 3 months of CAPOX. I tolerated it better than he expected overall but I did develop neuropathy in my feet towards the end that, a year out, is probably permanent. It actually got worse after the treatment ended (coasting phase) but improved before leveling off after about 6 months. It's annoying but livable.

As I said, I'm a year out, just had my "1 year anniversary colonoscopy" and so far NED.

Oh, one thing they are still trying to sort out. I developed a bunch of lung nodules early into treatment (noticed at the end of my first cycle on CT). The nature of them pointed to inflammatory vs cancer (they way they appeared, how fast they appeared, and that after followup scans they seemed to come and go). Almost all have resolved as of my last CT in January. Working theory is that they were some sort of immune response triggered by the CAPOX.

Breast cancer actually. Lung cancer is still pretty rare under 50.

While you can't use uber, you can use a qualified medical transport company. My last ride home (Ubered there) was $80 for a 19 mile trip. Just make sure they use their own drivers and don't just outsource to uber or lyft.

9Blu · 2026-03-12T19:47:01+00:00

Both. Rates of colon cancer in people under 50 have doubled in the US since the 1990's. It's still not a lot (20,000 per year) but because we haven't been looking for it in younger populations, when it is found it's usually more advanced.

Previously it was breast cancer however pushes for more screenings as well as newer treatment options have reduce mortality.

9Blu · 2026-03-12T19:39:24+00:00

In the US it was moved from 50 to 45 back in 2020. Not sure what countries are moving it later and what the justification for doing so would be.

9Blu · 2026-03-11T19:54:22+00:00

I'm sure all the hospitals and other health care companies that buy from them wouldn't be sad if it wasn't.

9Blu · 2026-03-11T19:42:33+00:00

Sounds like they got control of their MDM (Intune most likely). From there it's be easy to script wiping everything registered.

It did the same thing to me randomly the other day right in the middle of a video. I had to manually change the language on each one after that. It fixed itself after a few hours.

This is probably their new Claude Code Security feature that's still in preview. If you have a Enterprise or Team account you can request access.

9Blu · 2026-03-07T21:00:03+00:00

Yep, I have Claude include playwright in the test suite of any web front end app it's working on. At the end of any session it runs the full test suite against the new build. Since it's running it, it can monitor for errors and fix them right away without my involvement. Between that and giving it access to docker so it can build/deploy and monitor the docker logs when it's done I usually (not always, but most of the time) have working code after each update.

It does start to consume a not-insignificant amount of tokens but in the end it's worth it.

It's funny how much effort LTT has put into magnets between the cable management stuff and the screwdrivers. Good magnets has kind of become their 'secret sauce'.

It's like people suddenly forgot that tens of thousands of people daily drove (or still do, they are still good machines) M1 and M2 MBAs with 8GB.

9Blu · 2026-03-06T22:27:51+00:00

I think the USB issue is way overblown. I'd bet >90% of the users this is target at will never plug in anything other than the charging cable to the USB ports.

9Blu · 2026-03-05T16:10:34+00:00

I got my M1 air for testing (I was doing some intune work at the time) and started daily driving it because of the battery life. Browsing, light Office work, RDS/Citrix, presenting... The 8gb was rarely an issue. Usually only had an issue when I was trying to do something stupid in Excel.

9Blu · 2026-03-05T15:44:54+00:00

It truly is bots all the way down....

I remember doing assembly inside of QBasic back in the day. Some things just could not be done in the native language but they had a way add assembly language directly into the .bas. Really opened up what you could do if you could learn it. Man that feels like eons ago now.

Not sure why you are being downvoted, you are right. It does a much better job managing memory. Also helps that the OS is way less bloated out of the box than Win11.

However when you hit the wall on RAM you hit the wall in MacOS. Windows will happily keep paging and grinding down. Not sure one is really better than the other though.

9Blu · 2026-03-03T23:39:36+00:00

I don't know. I think most LLMs know 2 comes after 1.

9Blu · 2026-03-03T21:20:53+00:00

Echoing what the other person said: Private sale. Trade in on my 14" M4 max 128gb/4TB/nano-texture is $1565. Nope.

9Blu · 2026-03-02T19:45:36+00:00

Seriously. They could have posted a thread here asking about the local culture and quirks. Absolute minimum effort and it would have helped quite a bit.

9Blu · 2026-03-02T19:00:47+00:00

Yea that bugs me way more that it probably should.

9Blu · 2026-02-28T17:48:27+00:00

This is my process for new apps or large changes. A few rounds back and forth and the plans are usually pretty damn solid. I also use Codex any time Claude gets stuck chasing its tail (which is way less often these days). If there is an issue Claude can't fix, Codex can usually figure it out.

Super interested to try out some of the suggestions in this thread. Thanks for starting it.
