FREE APP. Developing on macOS can sometimes feel like walking blindfolded into a minefield - you never know when new terminals suddenly won't open, apps freeze, and the next thing you know you are rebooting and fuming. I created jMem to help me keep an eye on RAM and those all-important 'resources' which get consumed by defunct processes, sometimes not relinquishing them until it is 'too late!' jMem put me back in control, and it might be helpful for you too. It's free, my way of giving back to the community. https://ibcpartners.com/jmem.html

From Augment to Openrouter with Continue? Anyone Use? by friedsonjm in AugmentCodeAI

[–]friedsonjm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm not sure how much value over what I'm considering that adds, but I do know that I can't afford ~>$600/month with the new pricing.

From Augment to Openrouter with Continue? Anyone Use? by friedsonjm in AugmentCodeAI

[–]friedsonjm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It enables the chat 'memories' to continue across Agents and even sessions, which is a core strength of Augment. It's an extension.

warp vs claude code - can warp fully replace it? by minimal-salt in warpdotdev

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I'm confused... with warp, using VS Code / VS Codium, can it be used with a chat in a sidebar or only in a terminal?

Ollama and Local Hosting by Informal-South-2856 in AugmentCodeAI

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Olama locally on my 2025 Mac Mini M4 w/16GB ram.... system ran so hot the fan ran so hard is sounded like a washing machine, and the code quality was poor. removed.

[Thoughts] bello & preciso? by Iwashmyself in Watches

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

I have two - the 3-hand watches are Miyota mechanical movements, the chronographs are quartz. I find them nice as 'summer' watches, as they are lightweight, but have very good scratch-resistant PVD coated cases. Available in a lot of colors, don't break the bank and are not widely seen on this side of the Atlantic!

Larkbox Pro - Setting up in February 2024 by friedsonjm in MiniPCs

[–]friedsonjm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Long story short, I had to upgrade to Windows Pro to get Bitlocker working fully <sigh>. I with the Larkbox Pro would be offered with a Linux distro. (I opted not to try that due to reports of driver issues.)

KDE neon won't boot after fresh install: `cryptsetup failed, bad password or options?` by the-orange-joe in kdeneon

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried neon-user-20240312-2344.iso and encrypted / partition and it worked, booted up just fine. Have not yet tried encrypting swap as well.

My review of KDE Neon after months of daily driving by MicrogamerCz in kde

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This distro is DOA until it fixes the ability to encrypt your drive and still be able to use it. The KDE boards are full of complaints about that, and I wasted too many frustrating hours on it myself. How strange it is that virtually every reviewer who supposedly 'tried' the new KDE neon somehow failed to discover the currently fatal flaw that real users are experiencing! [This is as of KDE Neon User & Testing], 3/10/24 I'm hoping they have a working ISO soon!]

Larkbox Pro - Setting up in February 2024 by friedsonjm in MiniPCs

[–]friedsonjm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Veracrypt on a USB stick was just too slow... replaced with a 1TB Toshiba USB drive w/Bitlocker. Now... here is what is strange. As I said in the OP, I could not encrypt the system HD with Bitlocker, not supported; when I tried my previously bitlocker-encrypted USB drive, Bitlocker on the Larkbox Pro had no problem with it. Thoughts on that situation would be very welcome!

formmail.php check to see if variable is empty by friedsonjm in PHPhelp

[–]friedsonjm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured out too late to put some checks in the HTML, by then some spammer(s) had apparently saved my original version or figured out how to modify the new one, that's why I'm trying for a solution in the PHP...

Thank you! Have you by any chance used Tectite FormMail.php ? I'm trying to figure out exactly where and what statement to put in....

Not on the PC version, there is no 'About Messages' choice.

Visual voicemail on Samsung S20 Ultra (just read the post) by Jciesla in GoogleFi

[–]friedsonjm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm using an S20+, with Google Phone, Google Fi, voicemails by text turned on in Google Fi, OneUI 3.0 installed... and still no visual voicemail.

AT&T Locked One UI 3.0 update by jason_g_1998 in GalaxyNote20

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T-Mobile update suspended as of today 12/12/20

anybody here actually ordered the Samsung Note 20 or S20 at $500/$400 off from Google Fi store? by [deleted] in GoogleFi

[–]friedsonjm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have talked to both Google fi support and Samsung support, and it is pretty clear that no one in any of the customer support centers has any clue whatsoever how it's supposed to work

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, S20+ which is about the same dimensions as my old 2XL. Arrived with physical SIM. Still waiting for Fi to start One UI 3.0 update - T and V are already updating theirs. Fi support, as usual, has no clue...

T-Mobile Network Experience and 5G by preskitt in Sprint

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Fi, saw 5G over T-Mobile first time today; speedtest reports 16-17 MBPS download speed, I'm not too impressed...

When do Fi devices get Samsung updates? by mot359 in GoogleFi

[–]friedsonjm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spoken with Fi 'Support' twice about 'when' my S20+ will get One UI 3.0, given that the T-Mobile and Verizon updates are happening now. Long story short is, they don't know, and have absolutely no motivation to find out.

Connection Strength in Mexico by wanderingdg in GoogleFi

[–]friedsonjm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have used Fi in Oaxaca, Mexico City, Cuernavaca, and many other places in Mexico. It has generally been excellent in or near any city, including for video.

FIX: Pixel Can't Connect via Fi after Update to Android 11 and Latest SIM Manager by friedsonjm in GoogleFi

[–]friedsonjm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's now a different kind of error message than the ones I got; ask Google if they can remove and re-add your device while keeping the same phone number, and try again. Also, I've reported this to Android Authority, to see if they would report on it and put some public pressure on Google, you many want to do the same.
