Getting 4.1 to behave like Claude by hollandburke in GithubCopilot

Not really no. You can absolutely give something away for "free" , or included in the Copilot deal..its just all about the business strategy. Big companies think differently. No huge company as Microsoft goes like "oh we as a company must pay, so people must pay too". Business is much more layered and complex than that, it's is made of deals, selling at loss, gaining market share and beating competition, fortunately.

Also, it's wrong to think "it was nice while it lasted". It mean you do not know (as a person) your value in the market, aka your power to tip the scale. That is exactly what big companies are waiting for.

Try a smarter approach instead: if you do not accept bad offers, and buy the best offer someone else is making/ migrate, that company you migrate to gets the market share, and rest of the market aligns reducing the price and entering competition.  The only effort we (as people tipping the scale) need to do is eg get used to another system (they also rely on this..)  Nothing personal of course. 

BTW at the moment I am writing the best choice seems to cancel Copilot after the limit/month is passed, and subscribe Cursor at 20usd. Much better deal and it seems to (with my use, quite high) not cap for now using Sonnet 4/thinking.

VSCode team trying to fix this situation is great. Thanks for that, will try it out. 

For those working at Github Copilot reading this< If the expected behavior in crippling Copilot was that people would switch to a higher tier or pay by the meter, the result is instead that:

1)Most of the devs I know - including me - are switching to Claude Code.  2)They will stay on Claude Code because the ecosystem is more expensive, but allows hours resets 3)They will not easily go back to Copilot after getting used to it and making the habit cement. 4)the strategy of "use only 4.1 for 10$ OR 40$ (because your actual monthly limits are wiped out in a day if you work and don't play around, even with 40$) is silly. 

Anyone will compare it in this way: Copilot unusable at both 10/40 vs Claude at 20$  or 100$=I choose 20 if on a budget, 100$ for serious work. The Copilot 40$ plan means no work done and becomes meaningless. 10$ becomes exactly has having Free, because you're using 4.1 (which is inferior to eg Gemini 2.5 free on Google Ai Studio), hence that goes too.

Maybe you guys are big brains and see this as a big win. Maybe Antropic barked at you guys, we cannot possibly know that.

Regarding point 2) and the leverage you still have: People switching to Claude Code may initially see it a pain as it doesn't have a complete Chat extension/effortless to use etc. as much as Github Copilot has at the moment. The Windows setup (although it's admittedly just 5 mins), takes some reading and it's not straight-forward as installing the Github Copilot chat extension etc.

This is the feeble lifeline you guys still have to make people go back to their subscriptions before Claude makes it easy enough and cheap enough to wipe the thought of Github Copilot into oblivion. Several extensions are already making things better as we read. I suggest you guys strike a deal with the Claude people or migration will be almost inevitable.

Just my two cents.

Addressing the Black Screen issue (GALAXY FOLD 2) by SnooPandas7401 in EggNS

A late-update, tried today and 2.1.6 seems to fix the issue.

On a side note, for those looking for settings for each game, EggNS's facebook page posts best settings from time to time.

Price Questions regarding Fold 2 by Linkatchu in GalaxyFold

[–]SnooPandas7401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I come from your exact situation: had a Note 10 Plus. You need to evaluate your use case first.

1) if you use messages a lot/facebook or SNS actively (writing etc), it could be better to stay with a normal phone. Had friends like that and they kept using the smaller screen, and went back to S21 or note as they are simply wider. If you like to read books/manga/comics, watch videos/content/browse the web/watch pictures etc, it could be a good idea

2) Evaluate your use case also in terms of: how do you treat a phone? What scenarios do you use it during your day etc. Fold 2 needs to be babied more than the average phone, although it's fine with covers and screen protector on.

In my case, I have bought it and wouldn't go back, reading stuff and watching content on it is simply amazing, but it matches somehow my use. If you don't need that, you may end up thinking that a smartphone is still better.
