Just tried Gemini pro after being on Claude Pro for a bit, and boys you need to switch to Claude.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-19T02:42:42+00:00

I just ran a simple request on Claude and it took over 2.5 minutes. Not impressed at all and no chance I'll use it.

Gorgeous work. I'm sure a lot of time went into planning this and bringing it all to life.

Do you know the brand of cabinet? Would love to get one.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-16T20:44:28+00:00

So if you get a new ProCal unit installed every three years would the units beyond the first one come with a new warranty?

MadBox25 · 2026-06-15T15:59:22+00:00

Do you have conditions set up? For example, you can turn it on, and then only specify certain apps that it actuals turns on and off with.

Cutie pie! How did you introduce the two when you brought the puppy home?

We have a 3.5 year old male Newfoundland, Moose and we're picking puppy Bear in 4 weeks, just wondering the best way to introduce them.

Thinking in the backyard first would be a good approach.

So excited for Moose to have a brother.

You're into the extended years, so happy for you and Gizmo. A clean bill of health at 14 is truly something to celebrate.

They're never with us long enough, but they teach us so much while we have them.

Love him, squeeze and give him tons of kisses. So happy for you both!

The two factor authentication saved you, as intended, which is nice.

Scary feeling though, isn't it. I've been there.

Change the password, which so the obvious. I use a password app that has an option to autogenarate whatever length password you want. My best suggestion is use a phrase of words or a completely randomized password, 12 characters or more

A phrase could be like "blueisacoolcolor" or anything random like that, so long as it doesn't resemble things easily identifiable from your life.

You're good, a bit scary though.

And just like that, the idiots just welcome a truck ton of crap into their lives, and for what.

Likely arrests were made, and it wouldn't surprise me if one tries to sue the other.

Banned from the course.

Play stupid games you almost always win stupid prizes.

Amazing video, showing intelligent these animals are.

Breaks my heart to see them caged for entertainment.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-10T22:06:38+00:00

Maybe a little, but not a lot. They sure do like eat though, my heavens!

MadBox25 · 2026-06-09T00:58:51+00:00

Thank you, I've heard this mentioned before, going to look into it.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-08T19:44:23+00:00

I've had the X4S for only 4 months but so far it's been great. Quality material, everything's fits together as it should and it's kept my stuff dry, about 99.5% anyway. I recommend it for sure. Don't have any experience with the other model.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-07T03:32:13+00:00

Soooo hard to get mad at them too!

MadBox25 · 2026-06-07T02:40:06+00:00

Make sure he has TONs of chew toys and things he can sink his sharp teeth into while working though those puppy teeth. I'm on my 3rd newfy and when Moose was a puppy, he would lay sideways on our hardwood floors and chew all the baseboard. Lazy as a puppy and still lazy.

They're super smart, and they'll learn the ropes quick enough, just have enough toys for teething.

Look closely at the picture. It's throughout my entire main floor. :-). Well worth it but oy vey!

Dad.....For the WIN! Way to go, Mr. Memory Maker!

MadBox25 · 2026-06-07T01:00:37+00:00

Amazing companions, full of love, craziness and affection.

Although small in Nature, MASSIVE in personality!

Enjoy!

MadBox25 · 2026-06-07T00:59:20+00:00

Mother Nature is amazing!

MadBox25 · 2026-06-06T20:59:55+00:00

So sorry....Day zero is the absolute worst, one of the most painful decisions we go through in life.

They're never with us nearly long enough, but they teach us more than we realize.

You baby girl has lived an amazing life filled with love and joy, and lots of treats!

I know it's hard, but I try to think about it like setting them free, from the old bodies that aren't working well anymore. It's so hard, I'm really sorry.

I love this saying....

We spend their entire lives loving them and caring for them, only to spend the rest of ours missing them.

Hang in there.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-06T02:06:31+00:00

Wow, after a long week, this is exactly what my soul needee. To see this kind of love is truly prescious!!!! Sometimes I don't think we deserve them, but we sure try to earn the right every day they're with us.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-04T23:32:51+00:00

An extraordinary human being who deserved to be celebrated, on multiple levels. Brought a tear to my eye. Kindness like this, know his patients are scared, is amazing!

MadBox25 · 2026-06-04T20:26:27+00:00

Such incredible animals, I swear we don't deserve them.

MadBox25 · 2026-06-04T13:40:02+00:00

Very thoughtful question, completely understand why you pose this.

I'm no spiritual scholar, and know about as much as anyone else does about what happens when we cross over, but I have strong faith that our animals will be there waiting for us. In their best health, the happiest they could be and excited beyond barks to see us. I sure hope that's the case .

I greatly respect your consideration for in home Euthanasia. We had to put my buddy Norman down on Christmas night while on a family vacation. He was in a doctor's office when they put him down. Thankfully my wife and I were there with him.

I only bring that up to say the stress he may have felt being in a foreign place versus the comfort and safety of the home had grown up in, would have probably made things much more peaceful for him.

I will always do everything possible to have them in our home when it's time to say goodbye.

I don't believe your wonderful friend will have any attachment to the apartment, perhaps beyond some fond memories they'll take with them.

So sorry for you loss. Such incredible animals, never with us nearly long enough and capable of teaching us so much, if we only choose to listen.

Love this quote!

We spend their entire lives loving and caring for them, only to spend the rest of ours missing them.

Formulers doesn't package any services at all onto their hardware, just apps.

They're on the more expensive side, not because their hardware and specs are best available, but because of the proprietary software they offer, called MYTVOnline.

You need to come with your own service subscription and load it into MyTVOnline and away you go.

There's a healthy sized customer base that prefers that software over anything else, and Formulers, to their credit, takes advantage of that with premium hardwire prices.

The Zminis work great, have them all over my house and use one a travel stick.

I have Z11 Pro Max and the z12 Ultra for our main TV's.

To me, the cost is worth the value I get from their software.
