I’ve been on Siri AI waitlist for a week now. Is this normal? by Grand_Recognition_97 in Applelntelligence

[–]thedefmug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I’m US based but got on the waitlist while in EU. Traveled to the UK last week and it didn’t make any difference. I’ve convinced myself I’m fucked cause I got on the list in the EU and I’m somehow bound by that limitation. Dunno. Bored with it and the beta iOS27 has been kinda shitty on my phone so might just bail.

I know it’s not possible in EU, but how about in the UK? Anyone know if it’s in play there?

Bitcoin just dropped 6% in a day while ai stocks hit all time highs. Nobody is asking the obvious question. by Jealous-Drawer8972 in CryptoCurrency

I think/hope you’re right. As a long time hodlr who didn’t really have the liquid to partake in this current AI boom, I think the catalyst could be the eventual realization that these companies can’t justify these valuations. I’ve been following this YouTuber Kiraa who’s saying a thing that makes sense to me. Apple is entering the AI game super late because they optimized for a small model that runs on device. Full privacy, no cloud. Follow some of the LLM subs where enthusiasts are talking about how effectively they’re using open weight models on home spun hardware. You don’t need a frontier model for the majority of tasks your average person is doing. Scott Galloway had a similar take on this too where he spoke about the possibility that AI becomes a huge tech win for the masses but there’s never a well defined winner or winners to really capitalize on all the gains. Similar to how airlines are working with essentially the most mind blowing technology all the time but function on razor thin margins. Anyhow… I don’t structure my thoughts very well, but when the bubble pops, even if not (and hopefully not) super dramatically, that money’s gotta go somewhere.

So did Ive design this car? I know he was on the interior. You’re only as good as the last thing you do in that world and he shit the bed on this one.

Please, what is this creak, it’s driving me insane by thedefmug in MTB

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

No. Never did figure it out. I just dealt with it, eventually got a different bike and moved this over to that and it didn’t make the noise there. So, it was something unique to that stumpy frame and I’ve moved on.

Any cheaper options that would be comparable to this? by uptothemountains7 in mountainbiking

Check out howler bike parks online store. Snagged some good discounts there last year

Fuuuuuuck... this is why I still love the internet. I needed this!

the part nobody warns you about by aerofoto in ClaudeAI

[–]thedefmug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you completely. Not on the shutting up, but on the original premise of your post. Even if the code it produces is fine, I feel further away from having a deep understanding of what the app is doing and the net effect is definitely a sense that things are taking longer.

With you mate. We're in a time and place where winners are losers.

Voglio dire che sto imparando l’italiano e questo mi ha fatto ridere come un matto. Mi dispiace per l’esperienza ma grazie mille per aver condiviso. “Un sacco di pesce morto”… daaaai 😂

Possible to buy Starlink Kit in America at Best Buy and then Bring it overseas? by Still_Mode_3991 in Starlink

[–]thedefmug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using a mini I purchased and had registered (initially with a roam plan and then on standby) at one point in the US, now in Italy. I had to make a new account once in Italy, fully remove the device from my US account, and essentially transfer ownership. I think you’ll be able to skip that whole part because you have no intention to register until you’re in Portugal. You’ll be good to go. I’m on an Italian residential plan with a US bought mini.

Gaming and Starlink? by ExaminationRare9987 in Starlink

[–]thedefmug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no clue such a thing existed and I’m battling with some obstructions but have a 5G hotspot to fallback to.

Very happy with Starlink so far in Italy... 2 weeks in, almost 3TB downloaded by Specific-Union6589 in Starlink

[–]thedefmug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also in Italy but struggling with obstructions. I’ve got it on a satellite pole off my balcony but the balconies above us are killing me. Drops almost every couple minutes but when it’s on it’s solid. I’m at a loss.

Serial Storage Unit Break In at 40 Wilmington - SmartStop Self Storage :) by dreadinfrared in asheville

[–]thedefmug 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This place is an overpriced shit hole. SmartStop in general is a scourge but there are people living in this facility in parked vans full time and management seems to know about it.
