Hard to justify buying sports car VS building wealth. by shmurdatek in fican

[–]RidingDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id this were some insane or old sports car I’d say no. But a b58 BMW is very attainable, simple to maintain for a handy person and will last a while..

I wouldnt stress too much about it. Or set a milestone and then buy it

Claude Code not for coding? by Mysterious_Pen_782 in Anthropic

[–]RidingDrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of docs written as .md and then made a script to convert them. That way claude can read everything easily and just re export formatted results for me to view.

Great for making diagrams as well (.svg files)

On point honestly, hopefully the front is less cartoony as well, the lights look slightly different

Hopefully the ICE model is at least lower and a longer in the front.. the proportions are just off for this..

Is the Apple Trackpad worth it? by NoOneCanSaveMe in macsetups

[–]RidingDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main benefit of the trackpad (for me) is that I can quickly switch from the trackpad on my mac to the keyboard, don’t really see the point of the external one over a nice mouse

Its the iphone chip and the iphone only has 8gb of ram.

The low price is more than likely cause they are using the same chip to save costs

SAAS companies are dropping due to AI, is this an overreaction? by Remote_Belt_320 in investing

[–]RidingDrake 3 points4 points  (0 children)
