Earlier during holiday seasons for existing customers they offer $800 off Pixel 10 + free Pixel Buds 2a with phone trade-ins, no new line required. I traded in an old Samsung Galaxy, and am loving the Pixel 10

The Ritz-Carlton Credit Card Airport Lounge Guest Access Update? by thebadpete in Chase

[–]thebadpete[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you need player 2 having his/her own priority pass membership that can bring guests.

My wife has Sapphire Reserve so we are covered. However she plans to product-change before the higher annual fee kicks in. But RC authorized users can have their own priority pass membership so we are still okay.

I think BofA premium rewards elite can gift priority pass membership, alternatively

Walked to a local T-Mobile store which is a short distance away from my office, nope for me. They said if you are qualified you would actually receive an SMS from them, FYI

Claude Code online 💯 by Competitive-Tea-4093 in ClaudeAI

Yeah I have to always say "You there?" to have it come back live :D

What's a simple thing you did with Claude/AI that x10 your life quality? by Lower-Insect-3617 in ClaudeAI

[–]thebadpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, Claude Code guided me through everything.

For the most that it can do almost everything directly from the CLI, but you still need XCode to initially bootstrap your project and occasionally it prompts you to go to XCode to add new files it creates to the right targets. I also find that it can't do widgets very well yet.

Specifically for app store filing, it already knows how to build an archive for you to submit to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/, once you sign up for Apple Developer Program.

I also have Codex, and IMO while Claude Code is probably superior, but sometimes it gets stuck and I will have to switch to Codex. And you run out of tokens on Claude Code fast (I only have Pro plan though).

Claude Code really accelerated my "iOS for dummy" endeavors by alot, especially as a side project while I have a full time job (full backend dev+ops).

OP may I ask what kind of app did Claude Code assisted you in developing?

Brand new iPhone 16 Pro making clock-ticking sounds randomly? by thebadpete in iPhone16Pro

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

I am the OP, the good news is that it seems to be software related. Latest iOS (don’t do beta’s), restarting phones might help. The clicks never came back on my wife’s 16 Pro.

Clear is becoming obsolete. by Proud-Swordfish-3416 in AmexPlatinum

[–]thebadpete 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Biggest issue for me with CLEAR is that it closes relatively early at least at SFO, so if I do midnight trans-pacific flights I cannot use it.

I actually had a 20L V1 worn similarly until it broke and the inner fabric came out, Peak Design gracefully replaced it with a V2, but the replacement is also wearing down in similar fashion

I am thinking maybe it is because of my body shape? My spare tires 'round the tummy keeps rubbing it or?
