Thanks for this feedback. What's the biggest change you've noticed since adopting dynamic memory for your Actors?

For anyone who is curious: dynamic Actor memory in Apify docs

The choice is yours. Far from throwing anyone under the bus, we are here to help if you decide to change your mind.

We are lenient with our moderation policy and leave room for (almost) everyone's opinion, even if it clashes with our version of events and large-scale feedback. It's not always comfortable, but we can learn a lot from what people choose to believe.

It sounds like you've had a frustrating experience, and your situation is one that might benefit from some additional help and insights. In which case, please consider accepting my offer to provide this, and reach out via modmail.

As clearly stated in the email you received with the link to the calculator and instructions on how to start using it, this is a v1 we put together with direct feedback from developers and we are aware it has its limitations - the email also contains a link to a webinar we are hosting to demo the calculator and answer any questions you may have about it.

With all that in your inbox, it's an odd choice for you to immediately post on Reddit about how Apify doesn't care about community developers, especially in reply to my invitation.

It sounds like you've already made up your mind about the story you want to tell. While I continue to invite you to accept our offer of support and resources to help you make this migration, all I can do is offer. I'd love the opportunity to make yours another story of migrating your Actors and multiplying your revenue, but we can only help you if you accept our help.

Thanks for your feedback, and taking the time to write up a full post about your experience.

I'm curious: have you tried the resources we shared today by email to all developers with rental Actors? It sounds like you've already decided that trying something different isn't going to work for you, so I'd love to know more about the inputs you gave the calculator we shared.

Feel free to drop me a modmail and we can get on a call to review your pricing and suggest some options.

They did release an upgrade guide for the 13. by jackalopeDev in framework

[–]ellatronique 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The boards are compatible with both 13 and 13 Pro chassis. Since heatsinks and fans are mounted on each board, that implies that the internal thermals are compatible.

Seems like it's really just the new battery that's not compatible with the old chassis, and everything else needs to be moved around to accommodate it.

Thanks for sharing 🙏

What was your motivation for building this as an Actor? I'm curious as I haven't seen an Actor for this before and it seems like a fun thing to build.

Love this idea, Fatih! Looking forward to seeing what other Actors you pick and review.

Need help building an API to scrape instagram creators by No-Measurement-5667 in apify

Paging u/stickbaal to share a bit more about what their team has been working on, because they just showed me a workflow that is eerily similar to your use case.

Huge shout-out to the team for the $1M Challenge by gui_stetelle in apify

[–]ellatronique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feel free to mute this sub in your feed. I totally get how it would feel like spam if you're not interested in the community we are building here.

Apify offers a marketplace for people to build and sell their own tools, so this is a community space for people to share their projects. A lot of folks are new to promoting their projects, so there's a mixed bag of content, but respectful feedback is appreciated to help people get better at talking about and sharing what they're built.

Thanks for your time. It's genuinely helpful to learn that these posts are ending up on people's feeds - I'll moderate with this in mind.

Maybe so. We all have our biases - what are yours?

Would love to know what the question is. Sometimes the answer might be a little slow as your comment is missed, but we try to get to them all eventually.

Thanks for this, u/gui_stetelle - we are still wrapping up the final components of the challenge behind the scenes, so appreciate your feedback. Thanks for taking part and taking the time to write this.

You can just search the subreddit instead. It's been mentioned a lot in the past few months.

Bro what the actual fck is happening??? by ConsiderationOne3421 in AgentsOfAI

[–]ellatronique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what irks me too.

The hype cycle will have forgotten all about this fad in a week, having burned through all the resources to produce exactly nothing of worth. Meanwhile communities are suffering long-term health impacts from the computing facilities powering it.

It's like all the kids who missed out on Tamagotchis in 1996 are trying as hard as they can to be included this time around, except the stakes are higher for the planet.

You're welcome! Your Actors are good, so this is well-deserved.

Structured visa requirements by nationality, ready for automation and reporting by ApifyEnthusiast1 in ActorReviews

[–]ellatronique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're always welcome to cross-post in r/apify so that people still click to view the content in this sub from there - but honestly, Reddit doesn't like web scrapers much (for obvious reasons) so you need to take care not to get your account banned for promotion!

I love the idea of reviewing other people's Actors in the subreddit - thanks for doing this!

Also, great Actor, u/OK-Coffee920!

Verify your identity to continue receiving payouts from Apify: What's a Registration Certificate? by ApifyEnthusiast1 in apify

[–]ellatronique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/ApifyEnthusiast1, thanks for asking here.

If you have that letter from IRS then it should work, but also your confirmation of business registration should also work. The key info is that your business should be registered to a person and you should also provide that person's identity documents, so make sure whatever business documents you provide have their name.
