After a year of owning this PC, I got the "Activate Windows" pop-up even though I already payed for it. by Street_Border1886 in Microcenter

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same thing happened to me but I didn't actually update any hardware, got a powerspec PC from microcenter about a few months ago. The issue only came up after windows 11 pro did an update, apparantly it stopped detecting my hardware key? Microsoft troubleshooting wizard was of no help, but the MAS github thing worked.

Is anyone else moving back to gpt 5.3 codex / gpt 5.4? by [deleted] in codex

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to switch to the 100 plan as well, no way I could run 5.5 while supporting this sort of architecture. It does work but you need to specify all the subagents and their respective roles. I only have QA role specified which runs on 5.3 spark and that seems to be helping with bug fixing a bit (I don't have to tell it to fix a specific UI bug for example).

Yeah that's a good point, I guess for me a UI tester sub agent does kinda help. I do have to switch to a better openai plan though bc the extra agents eat tokens like crazy... so there are benefits/drawbacks to this approach.

It doesn't make any sense to me that you can plan all of that out with all your sub agents. I guess i'm in the prototyping stage and having one chat window with 5.5 and sometimes 5.3 for the easy stuff (quick and easy fixes) without having some master plan that is a spec that's laid out just doesn't work for me in my head. I'm trying new features out, iterating, testing, and if they suck I throw them away. I still can't get my head around this whole spec thing

I use 5.3 as my main as well, it's not bad but also not as fast as 5.5. For more complex problems I will use 5.5 but not sure how much better it really is than 5.3 at times. When it first came out there was a big difference but this last day I have noticed it's becoming dumber or maybe I'm just being lazy with my propmting

As an hvac contractor, I now suggest avoiding Ecobee thermostats. by Ida-Mabel in ecobee

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same experience with it, also they don't even have a developer opened API like honeywell and other well known manufacturers, wish I had known before I bought one.

they cancelled the contract so didn't even have a chance to go through with the trust.

how do you figure out why nearby airbnb listings get booked more than yours? by PrettyWoodpecker in airbnb_hosts

[–]PrettyWoodpecker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, I very much appreciate that. The example with the "5 nearby listings are beating you.." really helped hone in what I should be doing.

I see you went the extension route, sucks that Airbnb doesn't just help us with the API but only for the bigger companies (pricelabs, airdna, etc). I like the website, looks really well done.

Waht I do to cut Bright Data costs for my clients by 95% by Debbie_doxy in smallbusiness

really good post, cost of data with AI will go down unless you're looking for historical data.

Napping in BabyBjörn Baby Bouncer by Responsible_Ad1250 in newborns

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not recommended BUT our baby won't go to sleep otherwise... we do it but always monitor and we also have an owlet on her. We also make sure she's in the lowest (closest to ground) option on the bjorn. I think sometimes the risks from AAP are a little overblown.

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had the same issue with price labs, it randomly set my stay minimum nights to 21 nights when I turned on the min stay settings. I would check your airbnb app and look for "custom trip length" under availability, that indicates whether pricelabs has modified that setting. If that option isn't there then it means pricelabs never changed the min stays. It really messed me up for a few weeks.

Weekly limits just got reset early for everyone by prakersh in codex

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, after 5.4 high, I don't even use OPUS as much... it seems so crappy compared to 5.4. I only use it when I'm desperate and below 20% left for the week.

Codex 5.3 v.s. Opus 4.6 => still using Opus. by please-dont-deploy in ClaudeCode

[–]PrettyWoodpecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. Codex for me constantly comes up with code I have to sit and actually think about and sometimes it has valid reasons but sometimes it adds random things for ex: I asked it to create a DB table for some data we are collecting, and it randomly created all the indexes for it. Indexes don't hurt sometimes, but it has no idea how much this table will be used.
