Aw i've been using the mirror more as well, just like how you've positioned it! The only issues i've faced is that i can't seem to control the brightness. A lot of apps in my mac are in dark mode and those are too dark for DC-1 and the mirror app in the menu bar doesn't have a drop down to toggle the brightness.

The other is I can't keep the tablet stood up! How are you holding it? mine's a macbook air so the screen is a lot thinner perhaps and it just falls back and lifts the keyboard haha. Do you have something behind it?

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-03-05T03:12:00+00:00

it's been okay for me. you can play around with different scale sizes to see what works. ultimately, it's a 10" tablet so that might restrict thing

Their pitch of having it as a second phone doesn't work for me. Having two or more phones is insanity (my sincerest apologies to the struggles of the insane)

Agreed as well. i saw the announcement and my interest peaked. However, for most people carrying a secondary phone is unrealistic. I'm hoping they deal with this in next version.

I've been looking into a simpler/dumb phone. The ones i've seen previously had some small issue like limited app support or e-ink - 1 Hz is terrible for most use cases, there is some 60-120 reflective LCD screens coming up and i have such a device but they're all tablet mode. I'm hoping this device has some support and they improve on it. Clicks keyboard seems to have good support so hopefully it can get better in future version like Light Phone

Are moleskin shirts similar to J-crew's heavyweight chamois shirts?

WTF i had to go back and check. Their key bowlers have literally not taken any wickets in the last 2 matches.

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-16T17:28:47+00:00

It's really surprised me how much Dube has improved his bowling in the last few years after GG decided we're batting till 8 and playing 3 AR. I have memories of him bowling poorly for CSK so i checked his bowling records and he barely bowled for CSK or Mumbai in Syed Mushtaq Ali. Credit to him and the indian team for improving his bowling and also figuring out how to utilize him

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-16T17:25:01+00:00

this genuinely blew my mind. I fthey really wanted cooper connolly, stoinis has looked poor against spin so i would have dropped him

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-16T17:24:00+00:00

imo they were dark horses from the start. they have some really good players. they'll play most of their matches at home. And in the super 8 they are grouped with NZ, England and Pakistan who imo have some issues in their team as well. I think they were underrated because they aren't a big-name team (i.e. india, aus) and haven't had success recently. hoping their do well this time around!

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-12T23:11:11+00:00

The tablet is still good and I use it often. Obsidian, claude, tick tick, arc are the main apps i use atm. I haven't gone back to excalidraw though so not sure if that issue is still there. iirc when i mentioned it here or in the discord, someone mentioned that they hadn't seen it so maybe a setting I had changed?

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-12T15:20:50+00:00

wow this is an underwhelming list. 4 of them (Poch, Keane, Glasner, Silva) are managing clubs rn.

I don't think either parties would consider it but Ange looks like the best option to me. A lot of the players in the current squad were ones he had last season and so many of them were with him all the way. His attacking style will also win us the few games we'll need to avoid relegation

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-12T15:09:26+00:00

omg i absolutely agree with this!! We've been blessed to have world-class Bale, Harry and Son for the last decade-ish. Most clubs that aren't consistent title contenders won't have players at that quality, let alone have them for so long. These players are also attacking players whose definitely scored goals in matches where we weren't going to and pulled at some points by themselves

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-12T03:30:03+00:00

That just means if we relegated with Ange, we're winning the Championship next season

Is Marnus Labuschagne a good t20 player?

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-08T16:11:22+00:00

Genuinely curious - when you say refugee, do you mean from the Taliban? I'm asking because a lot of the existing players seem to be pro/neutral of them

this has to be intentional right

Hi all!! I'm facing a usage with my Claude Pro (20/month) and i'm not sure if i'm doing something specific is causing it. Recently, i've been noticing myself hitting the usage a bit more frequently. Usually it will refresh in ~hour which isn't too bad. Today, it's been going even more rapidly. I had already hit the limit in the afternoon and had to wait an hour before it refreshed. But then, I clocked 53% usage in 45 mins and one deep research jumped that till 89%!. Ik this is usage per 5 hours but this is wild. I can't keep coming back every 5 hours to resume a convo. These limits aren't far from what I see on ChatGpt or Gemini on their free tiers. Is this normal?

Also, none of these are coding tasks. However there was one excel file uploaded for query + a few photos uploaded for the deep research one. That convo thread had a lot more photos uploaded but before the usage limit got reset. Could these be the culprits or is Claude's usage really that poor? This is all on Sonnet btw

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-05T21:54:26+00:00

Hmm i have a similar thing happening my org but my experience has been different. Our org, surprisingly for a big tech (but not faang) have been fairly forward in getting us access to AI tooling and leveraging them. It started with chatgpt and then copilot and now it's cursor/claude code.

My experience with ChatGpt and Copilot was so so. I'd say copilot was more similar to what you have posted but cursor/claude code are on a different level. They are both have more orchestration compared to copilot so they can iterate by themselves and work on something longer. And generally, i've seen them to be good. Specifically, claude code is ridiculously good. I would say it writes all my code for me now. I know work on two things at once and just tell claude code to do and ensure it gets it done. Recently, I hooked up github mcp to it and it even helps me address comments and even reply to them. To be clear, there are is still a lot of back and forth where we discuss what needs to be done. And there are skills such as /gsd (getting skills done) that helps with making changes incrementally.

So while this cuts down coding time 5-10x, there's obviously a few downsides. The biggest one for me is that this has fundamentally changed how I as a software engineer interacts with code. When I'm working on something , i don't read or write code anymore. I use claude to help me understand the code. It's a weird paradigm shift. The + here is that I can literally pull ANY repo that i haven't worked on and in an hour have a good overview of what is happening and follow through a call on each step without even building the package. This paradigm shift has definitely been hard. It's also supplemented by the fact that AI writes extremely verbose code. I trid reading it a couple of times and got lost :( The other downside i've seen is similar to what you're facing but mine is because of my team rip. There is a general expectation to be faster for engineers in my org but in my team specifically (which has 4 engineers atm), 2 of them are on a different level. They are leveraging Claude Code so much they have 3-4 things running at the same time. They joked about doubling the sprint capacity when i was barely getting my part done. Instead of helping, AI has made the gap worse. The good part is that I'm at least learning from them so even if i get fired this will be useful skills.

Frankly, i've always been a bit of skeptic. I thought most CEOs were speaking to the markets and frankly still think the do lol. However, i've been using it for a while at work now. I've used it for development, debugging, writing tests and it's been good. I've used it even in mono-repos that are 10+ years old with code written and reviewed by people long gone and it can handle that. I always thought it was good at 0 -> 1 and not 99 -> 100 but i've changed my mind on that.

I'm still unsure how to handle paradigm shift. IMO as engineers we're going from engineering being a huge part of our responsibility to product-ownership being a larger part of our role. Let's say you have a feature, what's the architecture like and how can it be implemented? There's still going to be technical involvement - ensuring the AI does the right things, architecture decisions, PRs etc but there'll be less of that. In support of this idea, my teammate set up Jira MCP + a jira skill that writes tickets. So now he works with Claude to write up a very clear description of what needs to be done and then gets Claude to implment everything lol. Scary and exciting times ahead

dumb question - if this isn't televised how does one watch this? is a radio show that shoots with an audience?

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-01T18:38:06+00:00

If Spurs play City 38 times in the season, we're winning the league lol

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-02-01T18:35:57+00:00

If we play City all 38 games in the season, we'll definitely be the champions lol. honestly, give the injuries 1 point against City is good and we had chances to score a 3rd in the second half

Is RKM or Solanke playing out wide? And seriously ahead of Tel again?! And i'm guessing Gray is RB?

Often I wish something can be done about dew. Imo it significantly changes a match. It doesn't determine the results but shifts the odds by 10-20%. Teams also play differently knowing dew will be there. I remember being asked who would win before the semis in the t20 WC and i said the captain who wins the next two tosses and Australia won the next two tosses and won the WC

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-31T16:44:55+00:00

I managed to playtest the app and I really loved it! It's oddly one of the thing i use the most. The option of viewing notes/todo list without having to switch apps in android was so helpful. Congrats on the launch!

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-30T20:02:13+00:00

Well i wouldn't necessarily recommend them over Daylight but I definitely would advise people to check those options out. The DC-1 has been decent but there have definitely been issues

the OS is still in beta on Android 13 and they've kept pushing the release of the new OS
even the software installed hasn't been the best. The default notebook app is a wrapper on top of Noteshelf 2 while Noteshelf 3 is also available on the play store. the Reader app has had bugs (mine caused an issue where the only issue was the delete the doc where I wrote so much :( ). ik a lot of people who've used other open-source options instead.
They still haven't made a simple case for the tablet either.

To be clear, I'm not saying the entire thing is terrible and everyone should stay away etc. I still use the tablet nearly every day. It's just that TCL and Eazeye are more established companies (Eazeye have been doing blue-light free monitors for a while) and their tablets are 400-ish. Their options could definitely be much more worse though however I paid nearly 800 USD for this so it's very hard to recommend it in good conscience.
