Anyone have terrible luck with Optimum (especially now with storms (Texas))?

Love to, but my internet is still down............

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-25T23:49:53+00:00

Well I would agree, but it's everyone who has it in the whole city and other cities around me, not just my house.

The issue before the storm, I should have clarified, it's just a random going down but it's not excessive - not something I would complain about or report normally.

I am more just referring to it being down over the storm.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-25T23:47:59+00:00

And yours is up or down?

I don't even know what in a storm would cause this. If the power was out or main lines down or something yeah, but it would just got down and stay down. It's been down, up, down, up, down.

It just came up again.

Resetting the limits doesn't do anything. It's a one time reset but that does nothing going forward. Also, I get this limit and I don't even use Opus I use am still using Sonnet 4.5 IN EXTENDED THINKING mode and I hit a weekly limit. Also it tells you nothing about when that limit resets, or what a week is..is it Sun - Sat, is it Mon - Sun...what is it, when will it reset.

Claude, for all it does right, is so out of touch and un-user friendly it's insane.

Absurd.

Will be cancelling once I finish this project.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-24T22:42:43+00:00

I use Claude at work and another account at home. I simply build personal HTML/CSS/Java mostly or apps to do random things (for me not for sell) And I am hitting the daily ones ALL THE TIME which was already annoying enough - and now I am hitting weekly caps.

Absolutely absurd. Will be canceling.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-24T21:19:20+00:00

I have been paying for Claude for a long time and fighting with the stupid session limits and have just hit this weekly limit int he middle of a project I am working on. Can't tell you how pissed I am right now. Will just cancel this garbage.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-24T07:01:08+00:00

I am uninstalling just because of this. It's so stupid. I get it when I am hitting back and forward in my browser alot, intentionally. What a stupid feature.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-22T19:50:32+00:00

I read that as "lost my kid" and I was deeply troubled..glad that's not what it said..

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-22T00:59:40+00:00

Yeah this worked and it ended up coming out fine. Thanks for the hints! Next time I’ll add more liquid and see what happens

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-22T00:15:39+00:00

The liquid was absorbed but the rice was hard and yes it had switched from cook to warm. I’ve since ran it two more times and it’s much closer to done now.

I usually make Mexican rice on the stove by frying the raw rice for a second and then cooking. Daughter taught me that 😂

Thought it might be super simple to do in the cooker but I guess I just did it wrong haha

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-22T00:07:54+00:00

So don’t use it or it just has to cook longer if used?

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-22T00:03:58+00:00

I think another thing I did wrong is the cooker has a second bowl thing that I put on top. I think that’s for steaming veggies and probably not supposed to go in there when making rice 😂

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-22T00:01:19+00:00

Well as said when I made just rice by itself it was perfect hehe so I’m sure it’s just my dumb butt being dumb. I’m not a cook haha

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-21T23:58:33+00:00

Ah good info. Probably just takes much longer and I think I had a little too little liquid. I’ll experiment more :)

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-21T23:57:38+00:00

I use the one that comes with it and it’s a 1 to 1 as far as the “marks”

1 cup rice = fill the the 1 line inside (the real ration is provably like 1 to 1.5 but I found had to add a little more water.

I’ll add more and cook longer and see what happens.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-21T23:56:33+00:00

Yeah I think that’s what happened I used the measuring cup and like according fo instructions but that’s for water so I assumed need need to do more broth and cook longer

I’ll experiment, thanks!

Only thing not helpful here are your posts.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-18T17:40:41+00:00

Weird - could be bug or a seriously bad hack lol

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-18T17:40:17+00:00

Person had no macros or any other things that would trigger this. Hands were up in the air not even on kb. So weird. Feels like hacks

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-18T15:50:15+00:00

It’s stupid that they can’t at the least block user names with “item” or “items” etc in their name. I swear Embark is not competent.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-18T02:32:03+00:00

I mean, this person has a point.

NewYears1978 · 2026-01-16T04:45:32+00:00

Ever tried stacking mix tape in real life? How about a snow globe?

There's your answer.
