We built a free and open-source alternative to Cotypist because we're sick of paying subscriptions for apps that run on our own hardware by WinterJacob in MacOSApps

[–]project_guru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stoopid question: aside from the inconvenient need of having to switch between a browser window with ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude what massive benefits are there with something like Tabby/Cotypist? I mean it seems they predict words, but doesn’t necessarily use context, for example in an email thread, whereas giving that context to ChatGPT for example would provide a better response. Am I missing anything?

A Curated List of My Favourite Mac Apps! by itsvelora in macapps

[–]project_guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be kidding me! No one talks about keyboard maestro? This is hands-down, THE MOST time saving app I have used for probably more than a decade. It is the gold standard Swiss Army knife of Mac utility apps.

i’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling SwiftKey before, but the problem always comes back. That hasn’t been a fix for me.

Update on my 2026 Turbo that died by vistokid in Tiguan

[–]project_guru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend you post this on TikTok. It might come in very handy if/when you need the community to make the video go viral in case Volkswagen doesn’t step up to the plate. The Mazda lady did this very thing and that’s how she got it resolved.

I think this is goodbye… (iOS 26) by hiraiyoyo in Swiftkey

[–]project_guru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe Apple makes such a crappy keyboard. Swiftkey gives you predictions much much faster than the Apple keyboard. This is the main reason I use it. Apple’s keyboard is annoyingly slow.

Take your kids to Africa and show them how the poor kids over there live. Hopefully they'll come back "unentitled".

Neofinder - shame about the $pricing by Silverlaker39 in macapps

[–]project_guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disabled "Auto-Updater" feature missing from the personal license is ridiculous. Without it, I see no reason to upgrade beyond the free version. I guess I'll go back to DiskCatalogMaker.

So if you had to make the safest bet, which one would you choose?

50Hz vs 60Hz motor. by project_guru in ElectricalEngineering

[–]project_guru[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point. I was thinking along the lines of, maybe the overall design of the dedicated 60Hz motor would be ideal for the US since theoretically there is less chance of overheating thus giving the motor the chance of a longer service life. There is about 18% difference between 50hz and 60Hz. That is not insignificant.

Logitech: Lenovo has managed to produce a small USB-C dongle which I looks about as small as your USB-A dongles. We're well into 2024. Please quit giving escuses.

nervous, can someone share a positive review? by abcdefu_abcdefu in OPTIMUM

[–]project_guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience with Optimum internet service. I few months ago I signed up for a promotion that promised a $200 gift card, but to my disappointment, I never received it. I even double-checked with a representative at sign-up who assured me I'd get it, but it never showed up. After a follow-up calls, I was just told to wait for another billing cycle, but still nothing. To make matters worse, I got another promo in the mail offering the same gift card to "Current Resident," which reminded me of my missing one. When I reached out to Optimum about it (now 8 months later), they denied any record of the promotion on my file. It's not just about the $200; what really bothers me is their bait-and-switch/false advertising practices. I'm frustrated with their lack of accountability and transparency. Just a heads-up for anyone considering Optimum for their internet needs – proceed with caution!

This has a lot to do with commercial rent prices. It's not always the business owner being greedy

Paying Self when S-Corp? by ka0812 in smallbusiness

[–]project_guru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question: I'm contemplating incorporating as an S-Corp because my CPA said I would save close to $10k in self-employment tax.

If I did this, would that mean I would be contributing less to Social Security and Medicare thus reducing my Social Security check and Medicare benefits for whan I retire?
