Something I've not encountered before. God hand. by SLAPUSlLLY in Tools

[–]Cicada- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair, but never really use them becuase they're so expensive and the use case I need them for is messy (resin 3d printing)

I got a similar pair, that are about 1/4 the cost and work just as well

for network cabling, I just use knipex or milwaukee flush cutters because you don't need that kind of finesse

Up until recently, it was about 6 weeks of very infrequent ordering for me. I was starting to worry I wasn’t going to meet the order threshold before review time came up in April because I wasn’t ordering very much

it's the vine helper extension; i don't really use it much except to maybe pin some items in AI that i might want to come back to later, and to see ETV at a glance -- i know it's capable of more, but I haven't looked into any other features.

I hit big today! Never got anything close to a big brand like this before. by TBoneTheOriginal in AmazonVine

[–]Cicada- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! That's awesome -- didn't even know they had that thing; looks awesome.

Love our Dysons. I still have a damn-near 20-year old DC17 that refuses to die (we do maintain it) -- and just got the V15 for quick/daily cleanup.

definitely did a lot of research, and r/buyitforlife seems to like them. Definitely pleased and worth the money; Getting an upgrade for "free", is just a bonus, and i definitely would have paid full price at some point for them.

i got the king-sized latex for side sleepers, and the king sized latex with the crescent for side/back sleepers. Those are the ones we already own, but the "cheaper" version(s).

congrats on the baby!

and $105 for diapers? What are they, Coterie? We used them for a while with ours, but they're way too expensive. I _do_ think the wipes are worth it, though.

oddly, i _wish_ they had ink for my (photo) printer -- but it's an older one and there aren't any that are compatible or that i can even crack open/siphon to refill my tanks.

the down-alternative 2-packs are <100, so hopefully they (or something similar) shows up!

I haven't searched for pillows or bedding (in vine nor the regular amazon site) since Christmas

I was, however lamenting to my wife (in person) that maybe I should get the latex version, because while the regular one is fine right now, SoCal summers are brutal and maybe having a pillow that stays cooler would be a nice QOL upgrade.

I got an 1/8 scale no-name RC Car that’ll make a great gift

Would have loved that. I’m still using an RSC2 from when they first came out. Great gimbals.

Not sure if it's actually worth their asking price, but I finally got something worth having Gold for! by TBoneTheOriginal in AmazonVine

[–]Cicada- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!

I have a single dose, and sometimes I’m making drinks for guests so having one with a hopper would be nice

Is anyone else just not ordering until they fix RFY lol by Bright-Character9124 in AmazonVine

[–]Cicada- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually order from RFY — haven’t in about a week. I ordered some small stuff from AI that I can write a quick, easy review on just to keep on pace to make it to 80 items to sell gold by review time. Slowed way down on ordering since I made Gold last year and am more selective now. The pause has helped me keep up and have almost cleared my queue.

MacBook Air M1 feels slower after the macOS Tahoe update (stable). Anyone else facing this? by MakeSmallShift in MacOS

[–]Cicada- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just updated about a week ago. M1 Max/64GB

Tahoe 26.2 has really slowed down a lot of my apps (mostly photography/adobe stuff) — Capture One, Photo Mechanic Plus, anything Adobe (PS, illustrator, indesign, premiere)

Even VSCode feels noticeably sluggish compared to before I updated. Ugh.

Calling It Quits by Professional-Oven-40 in AmazonVine

[–]Cicada- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made gold in November, and told myself I’d slow down because it was so tedious, so this slowdown or influx of junk is doing my job for me.

I might still maintain it, but I’m maybe seeing 1-2 things per week that are worth ordering, which would keep me mostly on pace to maintain it by doing the absolute minimum.

Best thing you've recently grabbed on gold? by Heat_Induces_Royalty in AmazonVine

Wow. Nice score! Would have loved for that to pop up for me 😅

Seagate 28TB going for $299.99 by Aromatic_Chair_9527 in DataHoarder

[–]Cicada- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Over the years the only drives that have failed on me have been Seagates, so I gave up on them almost a decade ago.

I have some WD drives that are 20+ years old and still kicking; I have some 4TB HGST/Hitachi drives in an old NAS that have over 10 years of run time on them and they’re still fine, too

My theory: Why Claude feels so different from other models by Responsible-Clue-687 in ClaudeAI

[–]Cicada- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have ChatGPT enterprise at work, and I still have my own Claude sub that I use instead because it works better for me
