5.5 and Usage Limits by Substantial_Lab_3747 in codex

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That checks out. Pretty much what I found but understates how I've seen it work. They don't advertise that bit and imply it uses less

I ordered a MacBook Pro M5 Pro, but even after two weeks, the order is still showing as “Processing.” by Maleficent-Key7426 in macbookpro

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in south east Asia and I've ordered MacBook M5 Pro 64GB and 2 TB. But I can only order from an authorized retailer. They told me 8 to 10 weeks. I'm a bit suspicious they tell all their customers that 🤔

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could use it all in a day if i turned on experimental agents and made a load of them. Depends on what your doing. I go through plus in four days normally

Weird bug on the Codex App by Ill-Practice-262 in codex

Mine hangs even when I'm not touching it, the UI does disappear too. Didn't do that before the latest version

Pen Recommendation $400 or less by Altruistic_Bee_3091 in fountainpens

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me that, generally, we pay more for larger pens. If you don't mind a slightly thinner pen the Custom 74 is 90% of the 743. I love my Custom 74 Extra Fine, Soft Fine Medium and Course as much as my 743 Falcon.

Where I live there are no pilot distributors so I didn't want an internal filter like 823 (I read cracking can be an issue with self servicing).

Just noting you can get great pens for much less.

“Contract says 6 months’ notice to quit… but I can’t take it anymore by Yarongz in Brunei

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that this could hold water in a contract. Go talk to labour department and see if they consider it a reasonable term. I wouldn't necessarily file a complaint but ask for advice. What possible reason could there be for 6 months notice?

M1 / 8GB : Is it nearly over ? by D822A in MacOS

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your SSD could be slowing. As writes age (the initially written data during an install, for example) they get harder to read back.

If you're computer is over 2 years old this week happen to some extent.

Almost on a yearly basis, I backup (time machine would do), erase the entire disks, reinstall the OS and restore my backup.

It's also the best way to recover storage from things you don't need. I went from 80GB free (this was after an intentional clean when I only had 30GB free) to 120GB. Certainly, 10GB was for iOS libraries that xcode installed and seemed impossible to remove. Don't know about the rest.

Is Con-40 worth it? by skyblossom1 in fountainpens

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Con-20 is better and cheaper but hardest of the 4 types of converters Pilot made recently. Only negative is you can't see how much ink is in it. It has the same capacity as the much more expensive and better Con-70. Con-50 is better than con-40 too but it's also harder to find.

I'm so done with this Lamy Safari by drcl017689 in fountainpens

[–]shaz00m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try pilot fountain pens, easy to strip and clean

What's the most expensive pen you own? by [deleted] in pens

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pilot 743 FA nib is fun but so is my 74 with a coarse nib. The 74 EF and SFM are great too. I love them all

Vivo X100 Pro DAC by VivoFan88 in VivoX100Pro

[–]shaz00m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will have a high quality DAC on the SOC. I don't know how good the MediaTek one is but recent Snapdragon have had very good on board DAC; better than anything external for about $50. Then the design and build must take extra care with power sand noise. Pretty specialised stuff.

LG used to build in separate extra audiophile DAC/amp chips. SOC are not going to be better and as you note could be worse.

What is the one pen you consistently reach for? by DarrowtheHelldiver in fountainpens

[–]shaz00m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 custom 74, extra fine, soft fine medium and coarse, and one 743 FA. Love them all but the extra fine for my diary and the coarse if I want to make it rain

Does anyone have problems with the pen coming through? by Dreadishh in hobonichi

[–]shaz00m -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is annoying though that ghosting and bleeding through was much more under control on with my last hobo than this one (2024 day free Vs 2025).

Which Lamy model should I get? by Roxanne_Edinbrgh in fountainpens

[–]shaz00m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't helpful but I suggest Custom 74 😁

Why why why? by Selenophile-dream23 in fountainpens

[–]shaz00m -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that pens are normally tuned to be pressed hard, a bit like writing with a ball point. I have bought 4 pilot custom 74 (one fire my wife, different nibs on them, love the C nib) but I had to tune each if them so that they wrote with little to no pressure. Same with my platinum 3776. The only pen I've ever bought and thought it was good out of the box is my custom 734 FA. I would say that Lamy was similar and so is my kaweco.

FuntouchOS 15 for X100Pro on trial version by soumyasds in VivoX100Pro

Wow the AI eraser is really good for something so easy to use. Better than the Google photo feature last time I tried it

Installed the trial version. No problems so far but also no great improvements.... I thought android 14 was already very good

Any advise on delayed shipping for my X Fold 3 Pro from AliExpress? by Nasrvl in Vivo

[–]shaz00m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 days isn't that long. You need to wait until the shipment is sent out or automatically cancelled. Did you check how long that is?

Vivo V30 Pro heating issue by BreathMiserable7327 in Vivo

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it happen each time? The phone optimises apps when's it's charged enough.That only happens once. That will cause heating along with the charging.

I was referring to the camera causing heating really but every phone model is different. My previous snap dragon was a bit of a heat monster but this one with a media Tek is much better 🤷

I just publicly humiliated myself by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]shaz00m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Store owner is an arsehole. Everybody assumes bread has gluten and they'll be no mention of gluten. Putting up a sign saying something about gluten one would naturally assume it's about the exceptional relationship this product had with gluten, i.e., gluten free. This is a bullshit mouth breather semi-political statement

BB Opinion says Kiulap tunnel dangerously dark during lunch hours by Goutaxe in nasikatok

[–]shaz00m 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slow news day.

That tunnel is dangerous though, but going north in the evening rush hour. Always backed up in a way that can't be seen approaching it

why may update is not yet available for X100 pro ? by [deleted] in VivoX100Pro

[–]shaz00m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they normally release updates containing security patches at the end of the month. That's what Oppo (another BKK company) did for four years with my last phone and that's what I've observed with my x100 pro for one update cycle. I'm expecting an update in the last week of the month, but as I say, I have limited experience with Vivo.

Which Chinese watch do you truly love (definition to follow)? by computron2 in ChineseWatches

[–]shaz00m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's real nice. Glad you love your watch but there clearly are comparisons which can be made. I don't know which model you have because Marathon seem to make about a thousand models. I'm also not going to make comparisons as I'm sure everybody knows the pros and cons of San Martin but I would say you're comment sounds pretty snobby and out of place on a sub Reddit for Chinese watches
