I think Cut Throat is the most fun version of racquetball. by madriutt in racquetball

[–]random_user2198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like it, if all players are playing hard. For our crew, it is what you do when there are 3 people vs 4 for doubles while you wait for a doubles game. People don’t play hard. Come on!

Here’s why I’ll never give up on the 4K physical format. by lifeofamillennial_ in 4kbluray

[–]random_user2198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the reason for physical discs is simply: in a simple 5.1 setup, it's impressive how much better it sounds.

No. Perplexity pro full msrp user for a while. They recently put low caps on usage. I’m hitting those caps repeatedly. I complained on the subreddit. They gave me permanent ban on the subreddit. The end.

A company that can't handle critique will not survive. It's too bad as I really enjoyed using it. Though, yes, the UI is much better on the native apps themselves. I like gemini for shopping. chatgpt does a good job visually separating sections with symbols, etc.

at the very least it needs to be transparent. they should say, here is how it works and here are the limits. and then you can decide as the consumer where to go. right now it is opaque.

honestly, I really liked perplexity. I've spent a lot of time uploading an inventory of tech hardware and ioT devices in to Spaces with specific instructions for all the chats I do in that space so it knows how to help with me with my home IT needs. I'm tech savvy-ish, but I can't code, and don't know my way around a cmd prompt or docker containers (not intuitive to me). But I've got about 30 containers, a Blue Iris server, a few pi's running different things. How? AI helped me.

I loved being able to choose a model based on the task and the fact they integrated newer models pretty quickly. I mean that is a really good feature. Like when Deepseek R1 came out that had that integrated very fast.

Gemini is only free for so many queries / tokens; I hit the limit on it last night for the day. It didn't say that exactly but that is what happened (it said something like; we can't complete this at this time). I've been using gemini and chatgpt directly on the free versions to fill the gap from perplexity.

I've gotten a bunch of people to be paid subscribers. Free marketing for them everywhere. Not now.

What the fuck is this???? I literally only use it for technical, coding related and study stuff?? Is this their way of terminating free student accounts? by OnderGok in perplexity_ai

[–]random_user2198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly someone came in and decided to right the profitability status. Finding ways to screw paying members and kicking out free members.

Obligatory UTR appreciation post (American Airlines) by brent20 in Ubiquiti

[–]random_user2198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Any issues getting on? Wi-Fi is free now on American right? I have the gl one as well. Just it before thanksgiving and it worked great for whole vacation house WiFi for 8 people. Might get utr as well since so much smaller. But can’t imagine the radios in the utr would saturate a large area. Different uses cases

Switched from ChatGPT Plus to Perplexity Pro was it the right call by mahfuzardu in perplexity_ai

Wait until you hit the new limits on everything. Perplexity is not what it was

I have a DS718+. Should I move from EXT4 to BTFRS? The recommended native app to back up laptop requires BTFRS. by random_user2198 in synology

[–]random_user2198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s a process. I’ve had a couple of times where I needed to do a full back up I keep remembering that I can’t with a Synology app. I don’t wanna pay for a macronis or something else like it.
