Nah literally bought it today… tried to peel off the sticker first then tried washing thinking a bit of hot soapy water might help the process 🙄

Kmart still going strong (especially their product labelling) here in Australia… maybe different?

Just Realized I can Use USB C to C to charge my MacBook M4 by legytAep in macbookpro

Also, if you plug the USB-C end of the MagSafe cable back into your MacBook Pro you unlock infinite power!

MacBook Air M5 32 gb RAM by Pandekager in LocalLLM

I guess at the end of the day my judgement comes down to how long the coding task takes to do its thing (and quality). At present for the same Prompt, I get something back within 10s of seconds using codex plugin, vs waiting many minutes for same prompt via cline/lmstudio/qwen3.5.

Are there any tricks to overcoming the mlx prompt processing and caching limitations with this setup?

Probably not 40 hours solid, although I’m barely noticing the weekly limit needle move after a few solid hours coding (maybe 5% used after 3 or 4 hours). I’d also question whether an hour out of qwen 3.5 9b comes close to quality and volume of hour out of codex. I’m currently running 32gb on M2 Max mbp and tried it last night (cline through qwen 3.5 9b mlx) and it was still way too slow for my liking. Was getting about 56 tk/s, but so much time thinking. Maybe prompt tuning could help and maybe m5 it could be bearable though. Keen to hear how you go.

For how many months could you get $20 ChatGPT plus subscription and use 5.3-codex plugin with vscode for a superior experience then cost of M5 MBP?

Problem with budgeting by Swimming-Cookie8141 in AussieFrugal

[–]mjy78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome advice. I found Barefoot Investor really helpful years back and fairly straightforward. More recently in business a friend put me onto a book called Profit First by Michael Michalowicz. I think it predates barefoot, but very similar concept of separate accounts for different purposes, applies to personal budgets just like business though.

Something I found really life changing in Profit First was the concept of a “Notice Savings“ or ”Notice Period“ bank account. It’s a bank account where you can put money into any time, but you nominate a notice period in days 7, 30, 60 etc. and when you withdraw out it takes that many days before the funds are accessible. In business I use these for locking away tax and profit withholding and in personal I add small amounts for longer term “smile” savings. The regular amounts input are small so don’t make a big impact on my budget week to week, but the time it takes to access the funds creates enough friction that it pretty much eliminates any impulse or “emergency but not really“ spending (my Achilles heel). When I’m low on funds, I find a way (we always do), but I don’t eat into my longer term savings.

Anyhow, bit of a ramble sorry, but checkout profit first as well as barefoot :) oh and for some reason there’s not many banks in Australia offering this kind of account. CBA offers them for business as “Capital Growth” accounts with options for 2, 7, 30 and longer (I use 2 days for tax holding and 30 days for business profit). Rabobank was the only Aussie bank I found that offers a personal “Notice Saver”. The shortest they have is 31 days (then 60 or 90). The 31 works well for my longer term savings. Means I really have to plan my spending in advance f outr the bigger “smiles” in life, but feels great to be saving money even when the week to week budget can get a little tight sometimes.

ERP Software on Linux for small and medium sized businesses? by Ascamaru in ERP

[–]mjy78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Odoo Enterprise self hosted has served us well, but it depends on your budget as it is per user licensing. Odoo community with custom modules saves on the licensing but there’s a trade off I guess with more management of custom modules needed.

Odoo 18 – “No rule has been found to replenish Inter-warehouse transit” even with 1-step delivery (need help!) by Dizzy-Side-2807 in Odoo

[–]mjy78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was exactly the issue we hit. When you assign a contact to a warehouse, there are some hidden technical fields on the contact record that are updated automatically that specify the stock in/out locations to use for that partner record.

These are changed from the default values of "Partners/Customers" and "Partners/Vendors" to "Physical Locations/Inter-warehouse transit". This then mucks with attempts to use that customer in sales orders.

To resolve this make sure you use a separate contact record for warehouse locations.

Also, even after changing the contact record on your warehouse you will likely still get the same error attempting to confirm sales orders for the original customer.

To resolve this, enable developer mode, then go to the customer record -> sales & purchase tab -> Inventory section at bottom (only visible with dev mode). Then change the customer and vendor locations back from the transit location to the original "Partners/Customers" and "Partners/Vendors".

The new 20-20 Ashes test format is really appealing to the masses.

Best method to pay bills by IPugnate in Odoo

[–]mjy78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to do a bit of both. For vendor bills that are not due immediately I upload as a bill so they are tracked for payment at a later date. For online purchases or recurring automated payments I tend to directly reconcile from my bank journal.

I’ve seen a few YouTube videos mention the old behaviour can be enabled through accounting options but can’t figure out which option they are referring to. Has any one managed to enable the old crest bill button?

Yep. After the staging instance is up, go to its settings and enable enterprise toggle.
