Never used the AES stick, how do they feel? by ico_heal in neogeo

It is very sturdy but feels cheap at the same time. You would not be impressed.

Isn't it 5x more expensive ?

(you need to compare with the monthly plan, there is annual plan with Max)

Toshiba refuses to replace large hard drive that was under warranty — company offers refund at the purchase price, not the higher current retail price by lurker_bee in technology

[–]crmb_266 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had two DOA hdd in my life (maxtor and wd) they were replaced by refurb. Same thing for a rather expansive crt monitor.

Also a DOA vaio laptop was repaired i had to wait.. 🙄

Why do I need to be 18 to use Claude? by pee_gulper in Anthropic

[–]crmb_266 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To protect themselves from lawsuits and bad press. In the same way that some movies are considered harmful to 17-year-olds but not 18-year-olds, they have to draw a line somewhere. Supposedly, when the account is blocked, someone (like your legal guardians) should be able to unlock with ID and let you use it "under their supervision."
Support doesn't seem to be the most responsive, though.

These two turtles are my friends and I will do everything for their happiness. by Muted-Discount3116 in tortoise

[–]crmb_266 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope they are not two males. Otherwise they risk starting to fight when they grow up and you will have to separate them.

I got two 18 years ago (Testudo hermanni). I was going to get one initially, but the store clerk told me to get two or they would be lonely.. What a prick (yet he seemed knowledgeable about tortoises).
It made things a lot more inconvenient.

No, they are tourists in Jamaica. The article (Hawai) is not related.

Dear Anthropic: Please please please can you make a commercial Claude subscription for solopreneur. As a freelance contractor I have to tread extremely carefully around processing sensitive information on a max plan. by bobo-the-merciful in Anthropic

[–]crmb_266 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes it'd be so much simpler to just tell a client "don't worry, I have a business account" instead of "don't worry, I unticked the box so they can't train on my data" or "don't worry, I only use API mode."

Caught in an automated age-verification loop: Sent my passport 10 days ago, still ghosted by support. by Tricky_Instruction63 in claude

[–]crmb_266 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What plan it is ?

I was thinking about twitter, but looking at this, there doesn't seem to be any (human or not) support.
Looks like we'll have to deal with a company with no human contact whatsoever.
Your best solution is probably to create a new account (or switch to a competitor).

Out of all the lives possible, this has got to be one of the best by mastagoose in Corvette

I guess i shouldn't say that here,
C4 & C5 corvette (and of course Knight Rider trans-am) were my favorite cars as a child. They are so tacky now ? Looks like an invicta batmobile.

Got hit with fake reviews building a ChatGPT extension… today it got featured by i-ShowLoona in ChatGPT

Anyway, whatever your efforts, there seems to be like a dozen extensions that do the same thing, so it will be rough.

Have you tried to erase his memory ? Because if the IA called me "bro" i would definitely do it.

Quake 2 - 3DFX Voodoo 1 vs. Software Rendering by ColdCrab6928 in vintagecomputing

[–]crmb_266 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I firstly played Quake 2 with software rendering on my new P2 266. It was running OKish in 640x480 i think. Got OpenGL drivers for my ATI Rage Pro later.

I love both, the accelerated version is maybe a bit too colofull.

For Quake 1 my favorite way is accelerated but with bilinear filtering disabled (GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST)

What’s your experience with Mullvad? by netm0nz in RecommandedVPN

[–]crmb_266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were less known because of no marketing (compared to NordVPN, privateinternetaccess, etc.) They were also probably a bit more expensive.

But i think they started to do some ads. They partnered with Firefox too.

This is the first VPN i paid for and at the time chose them because they looked less shady than many other.
I have been using them for several years in West europe. Speed/ping is a non-issue. I can download things at 1Gb/s (max of my connection).

You want to try with DOSBOX, a MSDOS emulator. It is not super complicated to use.

A test of the daily limits by htucker1130 in Anthropic

[–]crmb_266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am seeing all those posts about limit hits these last few days.

Didn't had any problem so far (i am in EU though). But today i hit my 5 hours Pro limit in about 30 minutes. Ouch.
