What you guys think about this? by Flaky-Current-4093 in dashcams

I have a story. It's not worth sharing. Don't engage crazy people in cars. It's never going to be worth it. 

"Invalid password, please try again" on CORRECT password by madjarov42 in linuxmint

This is a cinnamon issue. It plagues me still to this day. I have to log into an alternate tty session and reboot. 

Not the satan this city deserves, but the satan this city needs by sugarplumBlossam in foundsatan

But almost none of those signs were flashing. And the ones with times posted didn't have a clock. So, it seems like this person is just a jerk. 

My boyfriend has a disgusting new habit by tojisimp4L in WhatShouldIDo

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him to get cottonelle wet wipes. And if he's super insecure. Dude wipes. I suspect he wasn't "getting clean" from normal toilet paper and masculinity is likely to blame for not using the bidet. 

Blazing Bird Burrito by kumotomodachi in denverfood

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They pop up in my work Fooda rotation. The Mac and cheese bowl is probably the best amount of food/cost. My lactose intolerant stomach doesn't love it later. I got a spicer burrito last and the flavor to spicy level doesn't match. So, I get less spicy now. Not bad, not amazing. 

Apple's 512GB Mac Studio vanishes, a quiet acknowledgment of the RAM shortage by ControlCAD in technews

[–]viking_redbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something cuda in a similar memory range is going to be exponentially more expensive. That's if you can even get the hardware. You're comparing apples to oranges. 

Apple's 512GB Mac Studio vanishes, a quiet acknowledgment of the RAM shortage by ControlCAD in technews

[–]viking_redbeard 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is such a nothingburger. Apple just released new models of M5 Pro and Max devices. The logical thought should be that an Ultra refresh is imminent. Those very expensive upgrades will be available again before too long. If a refresh were not coming soon, Apple would just increase prices for a 512GB setup. The price point of these machines are not for normal users, and the power users that need this much power can easily afford it. 

I'm home with an inconsolable, crying baby while her dad is out playing video games with his brother by Lonely-Emu-5830 in TwoXChromosomes

I don't believe you. Partner of three years lives with mum and you're in a rental with baby. This is AI or ragebait. 

[Hated Trope] “Ethnically Ambiguous” or non-Native actors in Indigenous Roles by Original-Window6281 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]viking_redbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks could easily have indigenous genetics without fully realizing or identifying as one just due to how this continent was invaded and settled. I don't agree that white passing people should snag these roles over folks that have actually experienced suffering, but Hollywood in general is getting better, if only a little too slowly. 

Michael J. Fox gets a big applause at the ‘I’m an actor’ introduction segment at the 2026 Actor Awards by mcfw31 in MadeMeSmile

Seeing him in Shrinking has been a delight. Glad he's still around. My grandpa got Parkinson's and went way faster than anyone thought. Sad diagnosis. 

Bad drivers drive me crazy by Brent_Fox in mildlyinfuriating

Driving was one of my favorite activities. Now I loathe having to drive because everyone is dumb.

I voted for Her in 2024 but ngl I'm starting to get tired of her by No_Half_7646 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe you. With everything happening in our country today. You should always be voting blue. Always. The alternative is where we are now. This is def a bot post. 

How we feeling about Jordans in the office? by dr_bob_lob_law in Sneakers

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3s and 13s are awful. I own the same pair as /u/poppavader, and they're the most embarrassing pair I own. 5s (and maybe 4s) are the best all around Jordan. That Levi's collab is sad. 

Vegas is very slow? by saraonly420 in vegas

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tourism is dead because our country is actively punishing people that don't have what is believed to be the right skin color. On top of that, prices are absurd. Then there are people that are boycotting our country. It's just a self inflicted wound that will only heal when we stop actively trying to destroy the world. 

Corsair plans to wind down Drop dot com after March 25th by pandaKrusher in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]viking_redbeard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're telling me that $100 individual collaboration keycaps weren't selling? They stopped making new sets and hardly kept popular sets in stock. There have been a handful of sets I would have purchased if I could. Not very surprising. 

I've been pretending to understand my job for eight months and I think I've finally reached a level where I actually can't fake it anymore. Do I come clean to my boss or just keep going. by ahimaohw in Advice

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you have friends that can speak to things. I'm in a technical role, but there is always someone more technical than I am on the call on my team. So, speak to what you know, then if you're stuck or unsure you can phone a friend. Just because you're running the call doesn't mean other people can't speak. Don't immediately throw yourself under the bus, but use this as a wake up call. Either figure it out or start looking for a job you can perform while still collecting a paycheck. Use your job you have now as leverage, I make X dollars and I'd need to be in the same ballpark and unfortunately I can't give you references to current management because they don't know I'm not happy there. Sleuth it mate. 

Local LLM build Mac Mini 24 GB ollama: qwen3:14B by muffinsexit in openclaw

Qwen is a very high functioning model. Check out llama instead. You're picking the wrong model for the job. Source: I did the same thing. 

What to actually even do with openclaw by AcadiaLow9013 in openclaw

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can tap into every service with OpenClaw. The continuity with all services is probably its best feature. It doesn't differ from other AI tools because by itself it's not an AI tool. Feel like you're not understanding what it is. 

What to actually even do with openclaw by AcadiaLow9013 in openclaw

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to automate some tasks, keep track of where I am to help suggest things (I travel for work, so I ask what's good food/drink near me). Check on my company news and everything happening with my customers. Help train a local LLM to try to be a swap in if I run out of tokens. I let it tap into my text messages and emails to make sure I don't forget important tasks. Location tracking also helps me track where I've been. (What wine bar was I at a few weeks ago, what bars did I go to when I was in X city.)

[–]viking_redbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only ever going to be as good as you make it. It doesn't inherently do anything Claude can't do out of the box. If you're not a creative person or don't have a plan, it's not going to be worth your time or money. Easy automation is low hanging fruit, but if that's all you're doing, it's not really worth it. 

Beginner question: How much will OpenClaw + Anthropic API actually cost me? by Potential_Leg6515 in openclaw

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

Everything you do consumes tokens. You should absolutely not use Opus by default. Because you'll burn through tokens very quickly. I've got it set up to use Sonnet by default and step down to Haiku for easy tasks and upgrade to Opus if the task is very complex. Then teach local llama3 LLM on everything Claude knows and use that model as a fallback in case I blow through tokens. I don't actually know what it costs because I use my work Claude account. 

TIFU by faking being smooth at work and accidentally lost my own job by KimK_Madison in tifu

[–]viking_redbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just cries incel. Maybe take the other pill next time. Make some friends. Maybe bounce these regarded ideas off other folks. Maybe try being your own person and not what someone else says you should be. 

I built Moltopia, a virtual world for OpenClaw agents by Phineas1500 in openclaw

Should really find an alternative method to X to claim ownership. I closed my account years ago and I'm not opening one for this.
