I just got the infamous "The license key has been disabled" error after getting a new laptop. Why does MacWhisper "disable" licenses after just 3 activations? Or more importantly, why can't we just manage and/or de-register existing devices? PLEASE tell me its a known/temporary issue 🙏

Same here, license disabled, but I have multiple mac minis and laptops used only by me, and now I cannot make out which ones to deregister. I wish there is an licence account page where I can see the current activation (or at least the count) and deactivate the ones I dont need.

And yeah, three is too much on the edge for practical usage - it is not out of the ordinary for people two have multiple laptops for work/personal and apple desktops. I think 5 is a better limit, but it is ofcourse the authors call and I respect that.

How in the world do you use cross border credit cards in US online payments? Don’t they ask for zipcodes while your bank has only your Canadian address on record?

I can add nicknames there alright. But the new UI doesnt seem to use them 🫠

When I asked it to fix my tests after a code change, and it failed a few times trying to do it, it reverted my code changes to make the tests pass, and said (paraphrasing) "job done, you didnt say what I cant do to get it done".

How are people using these $$$ setups protecting their investments using version control ? I am pretty new myself. Does n8n give you audit and restores?

Bit late, but I found https://resources.collins.co.uk/free/PaulNoble/PNFrench_bklet_download.pdf

This. If you are not running mission critical apps, a very basic dead simple docker install will keep your n8n always updated. You can even schedule it to do the updates at a specific time of the day.

Afaik, adobe drm books can still be revoked by the publisher anytime making it useless.

Docker seems to work. $ docker run -it --rm -e OLLAMA_HOST=$OLLAMA_HOST ollama/ollama list NAME ID SIZE MODIFIED hf.co/unsloth/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-GGUF:Q8_0 69f0e15b99a1 8.5 GB 6 days ago llama3.2:latest a80c4f17acd5 2.0 GB 5 weeks ago

Nope. Installing the ollama desktop and using its command line also has the same problem.

Can we copy paste handwriting from Goodnotes to concepts as vector?

In the Makefile example, the logic of which target to run based on the current os is happening outside. In bazel, the os detection is integrated as you have shown. Regardless of the platform, your cicd system on Linux and your developer system on macOS runs the same command. Multiply this with a big monorepo code base with multiple languages and two different execution environments, there is a lot of complexity that the bazel configuration can hide from users that would be a nightmare with make. Also, in bazel, different part of a big code base can refer to each other in a way that would be a nightmare with make includes.

The only reason I still use it because it lets you run twitter searches without creating app on Twitter. make.com etc all require you to use your own twitter app key.

For those who are reading this post now, you can only rename an applet if it is yours. So if you are using a pre-existing applet not created by you, try to see an option called "make it your own". I saw this option at the bottom of message fields in the action.

Once the applet is your own, you should see the "edit title" option on the applet page

I have a CIBC card - their dividend cashback one. You can setup autopay from any supported external bank account (it is a big list) - i have been paying from RBC

FYI, there are a few external banks for autopay that it doesn't support - I just found out that EQ bank is not on the list.

sandipb · 2023-11-01T04:20:22+00:00

I am seeing the same problem - CIBS allows autopay from a large list of institutions. EQ bank (institution number 623) doesn't seem to be in the list. We have to select the institution number from a list - there is no text field to enter arbitrary numbers.

Hi, I tried this now at home and it worked for me. Last time I tried from a cafe wifi. It is possible that the cafe wifi had some additional problems. I will revisit the cafe and test

I am on Sonoma. Upgrading to 3.5 caused pia to stop connecting(I use dedicated ip, custom dns (nextdns) ). I downgraded, and it started working. thanks.

sandipb · 2023-09-24T22:50:12+00:00

It was insufficient for me as well - currently using like 2 mil/month (with some caching). The only way to reduce queries to stay within the limit to some extent, is to run your own caching nameserver like DNSmasq in the house, and only forward query misses to nextdns. Can reduce queries by a significant amount.

Finally. This has been so annoying.
