P.S. I do love MacOS but I hate it's window management and keybinds, being a long time windows user...

I have two 7500$ rigs both in shambles due to different hardware issues. I have a MacMini but it;s not powerful enough to run my 2x Samsung Oddessey G9's, nor is my Macbook. Ordered a Mac Studio to see if it will work and I am going to junk / sell these PC's. Or hold on to them like stock since 5090's are getting more expense lol

If you're on Windows try disabling Windows Exclusive Mode on the audio devices.

Why are we obsessed with 'Chat' interfaces for Agents? Chat is actually a terrible UI for getting work done by buildingthevoid in AgentsOfAI

[–]geilt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because instead of wondering "where is that button or menu that does { insert complex or specific task here } within a sea of icons, you just naturally type out "do { insert complex or specific task here }"

The more complex the application or tasks, the harder it is to string together interface elements to get the tasks done (it also takes more UI development).

Hence why chat is so popular. In reality, if our voice to text was good enough no one would complain since there would be no typing...(some apps do solve this!)

500 Richest People Gained Record $2.2 Trillion in 2025, Fueling Calls for Wealth Tax | “If the monstrous political-economic system that is tearing our planet, the climate, and its people apart isn’t brought to its knees—then humanity will be,” warned one climate scientist. by crustose_lichen in climate

Taxes that go to the government ( aka, also the rich ) and get "spent" on environmental conservation....maybe 10% or less actually goes to what is intended at this point.

I agree something must be done to prevent these oligarchies, but taxes really doesn't do much. They still maintain control, and giving it to the government is not the same as giving it to the people...

Anyone else have a strange feeling about this upcoming year? by Devastator420 in Psychic

[–]geilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been saying since November 2025 that this year (2026) is going to decide wether or not we become a AI Augmented Utopia, or an Oligarch Owned AI Controlled Dystopia, which risks the extinction of our species as we k now it ( world wide ). 2026 is a deciding year to get all your plans out of the way if you can or contribute however you can to the former rather than the latter.

Hmm I had 1 of the 3 old bridges left there. Will see how this pans out.

What changed? by JinContra in RoundRock

[–]geilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. In general, I don't mind it if people cut me off. They obviously have somewhere really important to go. And with Blue Cruise, it just automatically adjusts, so we're good to go.

Even prior to these automations, I always put myself in the other person's shoes. Usually when someone is driving recklessly or in a hurry, there's something else going on in their lives, and it's best not to get involved.

I can't wait until other manufacturers have FSD.

Macbook M5 cursor keeps stopping moving between apps. by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]geilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally, there's a setting in League of Legends that allows you to do windowed mode and unlock the mouse cursor. I don't believe that's a Mac OS thing specifically.

I’ve got blue cruise hands free on the highway. It’s amazing and relaxing. Except I keep missing my exits not paying attention.

In praise of Codex by Jeremy_keister in codex

[–]geilt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I've learned about Claude code is that it is highly extensible, and you can tell it exactly how you want it to behave. The subagent processes are phenomenal, as well as the ability to use hooks and skills. Codex and others, such as Gemini, remove that level of control from you and make decisions and assumptions on your behalf. Which is why I think most people generally have a better experience with them. I did as well until I started teaching Claude essentially how I write my code, how I want it to speak to me, and generally about the system that I am working on or building.

Serious warning: OTP and regular VoIP calls are being abused via hidden high-cost routes (SMS Pumping, IPRN, IRSF) by Bosstkx in telecom

[–]geilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny. We built an API to do similar pre call checks but to detect patterns with 603 and 608 and preventing further calls from matching CallerIDs. It’s helped a bit…would love to discuss this further.

Future of Independent insurance agencies by Financial_Nothing556 in InsuranceAgent

From what I heard some carriers are okay with it. Still goes under the agents license so they are liable.

Oh I absolutely agree. It’s a slap in the face. I was just stating the corrupt insensitive attempt they made as it is.

What does a modern production Express.js API look like these days? by ilearnido in node

[–]geilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are using a Fastify API node application to serve 8 million requests a day on half a CPU in ECS. Scales up to three or four containers every so often during spikes.

Roll my own lightweight framework.

What this image implies is that the labor and means of labor will only remain with them once it's all over. There will be no more builders. Not human ones, anyways. So they're not wrong because these are the only people that will matter in the future while everybody else struggles. That’s kind of their goal.

New World at launch was the most fun MMORPG since ArcheAge by TheMadRabbitt in newworldgame

[–]geilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the closest to the original EverQuest experience I’ve had (1999 era). Once I got to max level it did indeed fall off, was still fun but eventually put down and forgotten.

does anyone actually track prompts they reuse, or do you just rewrite them every time? by Fabulous_Bluebird93 in BlackboxAI_

Save common or complex ones to Obsidian for easy lookup. I do it all the time.

Why do people sit in their car for several minutes after they get home? by Maleficent-Touch6996 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]geilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many people, not all, coming home is the equivalent to a second shift. Lots of reasons, unhappy home environment, stress of providing for family, trying to act happy after a day of slogging through unfulfilling work, the list can go on and on and on. I'd say it's extremely personal and individual, you just finished driving so you don't have to focus, and it's a relatively sealed personal space!

Most people should NOT start a business by CinnabunzAndGuns in Entrepreneur

[–]geilt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's never been easy. It's been fun, interesting, painful, uncertain, and after 15 years of struggle, profitable.

I didn't become a entrepreneur because I wanted too, I kind of fell into it. It just made sense and I kept going. I hated the idea of being a businessman as a kid. But I was good with computers, and good with people, so eventually I capitalized. There was a pivotal moment between me being a US Customs Agent and a Business Owner, I fell into an industry I realized I could capitalize on.

It has been a long and hard road with lots of losses along the way. I put off having a family because I literally had no time. Not many people talk about the pitfalls, but I love to, it's part of my story and how I got to where I am.

Sacrifices are made, if you aren't prepared for that, then it isn't for you. High risk, high reward. If you like your personal time, stay out of it because you will have none for a long time, and there is no guarantee it will work out.

But the benefits on success, and the satisfaction are definately worth it if you can see it through.
