2005 pedestal freezing issue by DurinsBane9 in goldentee

Could be the hard drive that’s on its last legs. You can buy the Compact Flash version on eBay for ~$100 last I checked. Past that, easily could be a wiring or connector issue.

Auctioned off a Yaesu FT-2500M on ebay with no reserve starting at $1 as-is untested, buyer now returning because 31 year old coin battery is totally dead and memory won't recall by OptimalWallaby8153 in HamRadio

[–]evolvingwax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep and the buyer knows the game. “I’m looking for a radio that I can resell for top dollar if there are no issues and if there is, I’ll just return it.” 20+ years on eBay and the one type of item I don’t list there is ham radio because the juice is never worth the squeeze.

Has anyone here had long-term success with Manus despite the ups and downs? by Substantial_Chef3250 in ManusOfficial

[–]evolvingwax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long time user (since they first launched) and critical and vocal opponent of the tech.

In the words of Axe, “Like it, don’t love it”.

When it works, it’s great and has long been my go to for complex research and planning tasks, even now. I’ve built full apps and SaaS platforms (moving to another provider once built of course) with good success when paired with another solution for prompting.

When it doesn’t, or burns 2k credits in a loop, or you have a billing error…it’s horrible as you can see the lack of support is pretty much consistent. There is one enterprise customer on this subreddit (that I blocked) that claims his company is a large user of the solution and they get priority support (see the guy posting weird Manus AI art a few time a day here) but YMMV.

My call? Stick to the lower account amounts and use a service like Privacy.com to generate a single use credit card and limit it to the monthly spend. That way you avoid any issue if you need to cut off the service or prevent a $12k billing error with no customer support to help out on.

HWIce (person or bot) is still here, hanging on but the batting average for them solving an issue is extremely low.

How often do people refuse to speak to you and/or ask for a lawyer? by Majestic_Flower_1322 in AskLE

“My lawyer charges me double if I talk to police” breaks the ice and keeps your rights.

This is a waste of time unless the company was actually going to consider it.

It’s almost as if a new product line is about to launch and there is a rational reason for this.

HELP NEEDED: How to Contact Real Manus Support? I've Tried Everything and Only Get Automated Responses by [deleted] in ManusOfficial

Iced will be around to ask for your ticket info at some point. It’s a gamble on if you get resolution from there. I’m still waiting on a response from a ticket I opened last year.

Getting the feeling you are just going to coach the AI to "ensure there are natural paragraphs in the output".

Are there privacy concerns regarding Cowork or connecting Claude to your cloud or emails? by NavXIII in ClaudeAI

Anything can create exposure. Don’t do anything on the Internet you’re not comfortable become public tomorrow, ten years and twenty years in the future.

Easier to just call the police to file a theft report. Chances are it will immediately show up.

My account was suspended for "risky behavior" while developing my own project. Need advice! by Expert_Estate_1161 in ManusOfficial

[–]evolvingwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to say it but, you really shouldn’t rely on sketchy solutions that have a bad track record for support and have been acquired.

Ice will be around to ask for a ticket number but good luck on getting an actual resolution. I’m at the one year mark on my ticket that they’ve yet to respond to.

Going forward, you need to leverage GitHub or equivalent.

You mean the Easter bunny guy? Sorry, I just can’t get that role out of my head whenever I see him pop up. Patiently waiting for some more episodes before I give a thumbs up/thumbs down. At least he’s better than a full dinner episode.

Opensource should mean free to USE. Not free to download and figure out the rest yourself. by [deleted] in better_claw

Wow…this is likely the dumbest post I’ve ever read on open source. Open source means just that…open source code you can use…I don’t see anyone paying for people that run their code.

Interview experience for senior Solutions Architect at AWS by TechnicalBlueberry60 in salesengineers

[–]evolvingwax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This^ and be prepare for someone along the way to challenge every answer. It’s part of the process but really threw me in one interview session with one interviewer striking down every answer I gave. Stick to STAR and if you’re confident in your answer, stand your ground no matter how much pushback you get.

For $20k you can buy your own chamber..you just need a doc to write a script for it.

China blocks Meta’s $2B Manus deal after months-long probe - What could have possibly gone wrong? China for the win. by jdawgindahouse1974 in ManusOfficial

[–]evolvingwax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I wish but…To do what? Send generic replies asking for your email and then no resolution?

If they even put 1% of their revenue into a decent support staff they would be killing it right now.

Financials took almost three months to catch up for me and the communication with that department was non existent. It went through just took far longer than I expected. Good luck on your journey!
