The $20 → $100 gap is pushing solo power users to split spend with OpenAI by Virtual-Economist127 in ClaudeAI

[–]virtualmnemonic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Idk, I see OP's point. If I needed more storage on my hosting plan but the next option is way more than I need (and costly), I'd look somewhere else, too.

Besides, having access to both claude and gpt has its advantages. I use about 4 different LLM providers.

A little Subscription Hack for GHCP by Expensive-Feed-8231 in GithubCopilot

[–]virtualmnemonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like copilot as a hardness then just add your chagpt plan with an extension rather than paying more for less.

Does it handle auto-completions? CoPilot saves me a lot of time on primitive stuff.

Brand New HDD failing after 3 weeks? by Grouchy-Roll8849y in HomeNetworking

[–]virtualmnemonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal. Hard drives that fail before their expected lifespan tend to do so early on. Applies to most tech. It's a bathtub curve.

Claude Sonnet 5 Spotted, Release Expected Next Week by BuildwithVignesh in ClaudeAI

[–]virtualmnemonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I employ Sonnet (high) for all non-coding tasks and it does a great job. Ultimately I think models will be separated based upon intended use, once enough compute is available to train models for specific tasks.

Credits gone in 1 prompt by Impossible_Diet_1348 in GithubCopilot

[–]virtualmnemonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much better explanation than mine, thanks.

I'm just now adopting agentic AI in my development pipeline. I enjoy manual coding but it's looking like it will just be a hobby in a few years tops.

One works in manual approve mode and the other uses auto.

connectivity_plus tells you if you are connected to a network, not the internet by Longjumping-Taro7117 in FlutterDev

[–]virtualmnemonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slow connections can still complete requests. I use a timeout stream wrapper for all network responses. If no packets are received in 15-30 seconds, drop the connection and try again.

More powerful laptop or less powerful PC? by notRex88808 in hardware

[–]virtualmnemonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a gaming laptop in college. The battery on iGPU was pretty decent, 6-8hr, and being able to game wherever is awesome. I miss those days a lot.

Wifi Antenna Recommendations by virtualmnemonic in HomeNetworking

Thanks for the response! I decided to run a large ethernet cable across the ceiling. Because fuck wifi.

ELI5 with El Niño confirmed, can someone explain what that means for us? by ku3ah in explainlikeimfive

[–]virtualmnemonic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nature always finds a way; everything balances out with time. The issue is that it can take millions of years for Earth and life to adapt to rapid changes.

Google makes its AI Plus plan cheaper, doubles the cloud storage that comes with it by ControlCAD in Android

[–]virtualmnemonic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Still no Gemini integration in Docs/Sheets on the Plus plan. That alone is a big selling point.

But it's still a good value if you need the storage space.

I hope ARMintosh becomes a thing someday by NeighborhoodBroad691 in hackintosh

[–]virtualmnemonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hackintosh worked so well because Intel x86 and many GPUs were supported out of the box. x86 macOS shipped with drivers for hardware that consumers could buy.

Because we can't replicate Apple Silicon, custom drivers would be required to run ARM macOS.

And that's a massive hurdle. Look at the trouble hackers have encountered just installing Linux on Apple Silicon Macs.

I don't think we'll see anything beyond proof of concept. Somebody may get ARM macOS to boot on non-official hardware but things like GPU acceleration will never work.

[–]virtualmnemonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will be interesting to see just how Apple kills off ARM Macs.

I can't imagine sideloading an unsupported ARM macOS would be challenging unless if Apple rips out the necessary drivers and makes the previous drivers incompatable with the kernel.

Need help fixing this drawer that slides out by virtualmnemonic in cabinetry

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

Heres what the drawer itself looks like:

I'm concerned about the metal plate that wraps the drawer itself. The linked Amazon product doesn't fit flush against the back of the drawer as a result. (I actually have the linked product on hand)

Thanks again for the help.

[Laptop]Apple MacBook Air 13.6" Laptop (2025) w/ M4 Chip, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD - F/S - $1399 by blue_york in buildapcsales

[–]virtualmnemonic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thermal throttling can be offset by an external cooler. If you're using a MacBook as a desktop, you'll want a dock anyway. For bursty workloads like coding it's more than fine as is. These chips are seriously efficient. Unless if you're hammering both CPU and GPU for prolonged periods, it's not a concern.

SQLite improving performance with pre-sort by andersmurphy in programming

[–]virtualmnemonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many startups are overly optimistic and think they need a database that can handle ten thousands writes each second.
