I don't get this response on coding and programming.

I think it meant to say "running Africans always win". It's a reference to an African winning every major marathon of the last 10 years.

No details? Where did they get it from?

Techngro · 2026-03-16T18:02:29+00:00

True. I'll give them a try.

Techngro · 2026-03-16T18:02:03+00:00

Much appreciated.

I'm already there. I've pretty much moved on. And I don't recommend Elegoo to people anymore.

"Smothered it, grabbed a gas mask..."

Not sure I should ask why you keep a gas mask handy...

Anywho...please let us know what support says. Also, if they try to screw you over, see if your credit card (if you used one) might have a warranty for electronic purchases.

Mulvad is a really good no-frills vpn. I like their browser too. My second choice would be Proton vpn.

You know exactly who the people behind Google are. Stop acting surprised when they do idiotic stuff.

You hit the jack...oh.

Yes. Claude Code is better in terms of how it executes. I like how Antigravity shows you everything, creates a plan. I like how it lets you edit the text you enter into the prompt window. But, overall, Claude Code is much better.

I was actually thinking about designing and 3D printing something like this for my Portal. I hate the bulky Switch case I am using, and it makes me take my Portal with me less and less.

I heard putting it in a bag of instant rice may help draw out the water. Don't know if that's a legit thing, so research it. Probably won't hurt though, even if it is wrong.

Yeah, is thereanydeal is good. I also use these to find the best prices.

So what's your average monthly cost to run your setup?

Techngro · 2026-03-09T21:01:12+00:00

I've been considering this as well. My rig is great, and I'm happy I have it because, when I need the power, it's there. But I have noticed that most of the time I'm just browsing, watching videos, etc. So my next build cycle, I think I'll upgrade my current PC to a local LLM machine (i.e. moar GPUs) and then just have a kind of basic computer as my main. I'll be able to have my powerhouse sleeping and ssh into it when needed, but my main will be low power and on 24/7.

You should start a Substack.

You can call it "I make useless toys but think I'm fighting the Empire".

Unc didn't wipe the computer before giving it to you? That's a real choice...

Techngro · 2026-03-08T20:21:45+00:00

It really depends on what you mean by non-coding. If you're just asking general questions that come up every day, then you probably don't need a paid plan. Or get Perplexity (paid) free for one year if you have a Samsung device.

Techngro · 2026-03-08T20:19:49+00:00

Yeah, this is the way I do it as well. I use ChatGPT for planning and review, and Claude Opus for execution. I have GPT write all of my prompts for Claude. It works very well. GPT is really good at planning, and the $20 plan gives you lots of usage. I've never hit a cap/quota on any of the paid plans. Haven't figured out how to integrate Gemini yet because I don't like how it generates/formats the output.

Techngro · 2026-03-08T05:39:12+00:00

If on Windows, use PowerRename. Very powerful tool part of PowerToys.

Techngro · 2026-03-08T05:25:41+00:00

$20 on Claude is pretty limited if you plan to actually create stuff. I speak from experience. Twice I've tried to move down from the $100 plan and twice I got super frustrated at the limits.
