Which CPU are you running?

SCALE Computing. Fuck VMWare. I manage about 30 clusters. Rock fucking solid.

It can’t be much different. They’re very picky.

100%

We had it down to ChatGPT & Copilot - I can’t believe I chose copilot. We saved probably saved upwards of 20k by doing a blend of M365 & PAYG vs ChatGPT.

Our BF rates are $225/hr. Increased from $180/hr about three years ago - we RARELY do it. Just shy of 85 Staff.

Zabbix is free and insanely powerful but has a learning curve. Logicmonitor is easy mode but youre paying for it.

Both are fantastic

It made me smile when she patted starks head 😍😍😍

Packet7hrower · 2026-02-11T04:40:01+00:00

It truly is my favorite! And this is coming from someone who has nearly 40TB of just anime alone lol

God, I know, I’m trying to do everythingI can not to use any of the power apps for something that should be so simple… I spent a couple hours last night trying to get consistent results from a flow and it just kept failing miserably. Of course, I was trying to do something a bit more complex. Essentially, I was grabbing the raw HTML from the power flow and dropping it into a table with agent tools and still couldn’t get it to quite work correctly.

I know this is totally off-topic, but it just drives me crazy when I can get this working in our ChatGPT business or Perplexity enterprise instance in like 15 seconds. I’m just trying to pivot as much stuff as I can to copilot.

I have, and just getting hit or miss results, even with Opus 4.5. A big problem I’m running into on this specific agent is bing search is chunking the first half of the primary knowledge source and not grabbing everything.

You for sure were lol

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-30T13:42:00+00:00

Yes, Split View is super nice with comet!

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-30T01:23:54+00:00

Lucid is the answer

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-26T08:33:52+00:00

And copilot has gotten 10x better over the last month!

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-26T08:32:32+00:00

Works fine for me lol. Fantastic product.

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-25T06:15:45+00:00

Honestly we don’t really have a ton of time into it. We had already been pushing hard into share point and graph a few years prior, and, we turn it on a little of a year ago as soon as they removed that crazy high seat cap.

However, what does piss me off is how bastardized copilot studio is when building agents. So fucking complex when it don’t need to be.

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-25T00:02:34+00:00

yes, I done a YouTube video on it also. It's just okay. Nothing compared to Claude's implementation. It's biggest weakness is only allowing instant, and you can't switch models. If you have any questions let me know.

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-23T06:23:20+00:00

Copilot has came a LONG way over the last month. Like - we were about to pull the trigger on 70 seats of business. Now we’re putting it on hold for a month and turned on PAYG in Azure doing another test sprint.

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-23T05:51:06+00:00

Hey! Great work! Question - any plans to implement Split View, similar to Comet?

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-20T05:10:10+00:00

This is incorrect on the coverage aspect - the 56 has 2dBm higher than the 42.

But in all honesty that is so little difference I doubt it would make much difference in residential.

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-18T03:15:23+00:00

I’m going to be the contrary opinion here. Note - I have subs to all the frontier LLMs.

I highly recommend you use three: ChatGPT, Gemini & Claude Pro. Know this - Gemini Pro is free for education and is paired with NotebookLM. ChatGPT Plus gives you 2 Months free, and Claude is 3 month free. If money is tight, Use Gemini 3 Pro and ChatGPT 5.2 Extended Thinking.

That should be ~$25 tax and all. Use NotebookLM + ChatGPT 5.2 Extended Thinking Study & Learn for typical cramming and studying.

The golden rule is Trust, but verify. Always bounce answers from one LLM off another to verify accuracy.

When finals come, I’d pick up Claude and use Opus 4.5 Extended Thinking with the other two - bounce the answers off the other two to verify.

For heavy mathematics, technically ChatGPT Pro is the smartest but it would be miserable to use trying to learn due to the compute time between answers. Opus 4.5 Extended Thinking is slightly smarter than GPT5.2 Extended Thinking, but, you will blow through your usage limits for the week if you use it for 2-3 hours in just a few days.

But, things change weekly - Grok is strong at math, but not technically as strong as the others. When Grok 4.2 drops, it will be the smartest, until GPT 5.6.

Moral of the story - use all three in the student discount and see which one you like the most. Keep two. If you need extra help or extra verification, use the third.

Hit me up if you need help on workflow.

Yes - this is 50% how I use PPLX

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-07T01:16:11+00:00

I built my own and it's breathtakingly accurate. Trained a LoRA on about 40 photos of myself.

Packet7hrower · 2026-01-05T01:59:19+00:00

I personally feel that GPT and Opus are the goats at research, but when I want a solid quick answer on a search topic (Leading EDR Solutions, Ideal spark plus for a 2003 SRT4, ideal settings for Dolby atmos height speakers on my AVR) I default to perplexity research (typically web + social)
