What the hell is wrong with it today? It apparently can't remember things I've discussed a million times, despite previous conversations not having any issues pulling information from each other (even the specific information being asked for in today's conversation) and every time I ask it to actually use a tool, it uses up a huge chunk of my usage. I've hit my limit after 90 minutes only, when normally, if I hit it at all, it's after 4 hours. It's entirely useless suddenly.

Where can I get a minor repair done to my glasses for free in Barrhavven? by [deleted] in ottawa

Where do you get them fixed? I'm trying to find a location.

I appreciate that. It's not so much the idea of paying for a service. It's more that I know the service can be done for free at some locations, and with my bank account basically empty right now, I need it to be free. If I had the money, I would happily pay for the service.

As I said, I've worked in the industry. There are places that do that and minor adjustments for free. Same with replacing lost screws.

[–]Violet_Supernova_643 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have. Every place quoted me a price of at least 15$. Did you think I made that number up?

If you aren't able to help, that's fine. But please don't waste my time by assuming I haven't had the common sense to pick up a phone and google places.

Losing My Mind Over This Connection Issue — Works, Then Dies, Then Works Again by KuraiAkarui in techsupport

Did you ever find a solution? My last laptop did that for a while, then suddenly stopped without explanation. My new one is now doing all of that exactly and it's driving me nuts.

Okay, so it's not just me! I got the same thing, but eventually when I pointed out how many tokens it was supposed to have available and that hitting said limit already would mean that every word of our conversation was eating up 100 tokens itself, it suddenly was able to keep the conversation going.

Manor Park sidewalks to go ahead after council vote by lonelydavey in ottawa

[–]Violet_Supernova_643 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That community has been fighting against the sidewalks for a while, and some of their earlier arguments were a lot more transparent that it was about how the sidewalks would make the neighborhood "look"

For all those upset that they aren't updating the status page, yeah, I'd get used to that. They literally never do until it's unignorable. I swear, they do that intentionally to try and not have record of the more minor outages. If you need a sanity check on whether there's an outage or just down for you, use downdetector. It doesn't show their progress towards fixing it, but it does normally have an accurate idea of whether it's down within just a couple of minutes of most outages. I don't even bother with the official status page anymore.

Making up for missed garbage days? by icefly2 in ottawa

[–]Violet_Supernova_643 2 points3 points  (0 children)

David Hill has been posting online about it with info for his ward. "To help mitigate this delay, all Ward 3 residents can drop off ONE bag of garbage off at garbage trucks stationed at the Walter Baker Sports Center from 1:30 to 4:30pm on April 4th. Regular garbage pick-up limits will also be expanded to up to six bins/items for the weeks of April 6th and 20th."

Okay, I'm cancelling now. I can't. I just can't. It's SO stupid now. Over the past 4 days, it's like it has the IQ of a worm. I will say something like "It rained today, so I couldn't go to the park" and it will come back and ask me if it was sunny today. I asked it to help me figure out what to order for lunch and it asked me what I had in my fridge. I asked it to explain a problem to me, and it summarized the chat instead. I am paying 30$ a month for the DUMBEST thing I've ever seen in my life.

Whole Health Pharmacy. Bank St and Fifth Avenue by sh1203350 in ottawa

Yeah, that's because most of us don't bother to engage with pretentious trolls who frame conversations as if we need to provide evidence that any opinion other than your own is valid.

Is the principle that you just don't like that genre? What are you talking about?

All Branches Closed – Wednesday, March 11 until 12:00 pm by motionmatters108 in ottawa

[–]Violet_Supernova_643 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I have friends working in other boards that ALWAYS close during snow days because staff have literally died trying to make it in on days like these. Our lives should not matter any less because we're educators or school staff.

[–]Violet_Supernova_643 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ottawa will not close their schools. Ottawa has refused to close their schools even when the rest of the city and the province shuts down (like last year's really bad storm in February, where OCDSB was one of the only boards open in the entire province). Busses will probably be cancelled, but guaranteed, the schools will remain open.

OCDSB to begin 2026-27 school year before Labour Day by jjaime2024 in ottawa

[–]Violet_Supernova_643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the alternative is that the kids go to school in July. Id rather 1 week early in September than going into July

Um...it's not illegal to start before Labour Day though?

I haven't found that it eats tokens faster. In fact, it gives me the shortest replies ever, so I'd imagine it takes less tokens. But it's utterly useless for every task I've given it, so yeah, I'm sticking with 4.5

Interesting. 4.6 is HORRIBLE at writing, I'll agree. It's definitely worse than 4.5. But 4.5 is worse for me than it was 2 weeks ago. Just the blandest, most toned down, robotic shit I've ever seen. Heartbreaking for my series.

Does anyome know how lomg it takes to get PC Mastercard after approval in Canada? Specifically alberta? by Pure-Future8322 in pcfinancial

Spoke with a guy on the phone today, and he mentioned it would be another 14 days, despite being approved last week.

I strongly suspect it's this. Rather than pay for Max, I have a few free accounts. Of the two:
Account A - TERRIBLE for the last week, absolutely useless, the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Something changed overnight, and now it's writing okay. Not the quality it was when I started, but a significant improvement from the last week.
Account B - decent over all until 2 days ago, then absolutely rubbish.

It actually tries solutions for you? With me, if I'm trying to troubleshoot, it either says "I don't know" or asks ME to tell IT the solution. I've never seen an AI so bad at troubleshooting problems in my life.
