I like the app ‘Lingon X’ I think is the name, to help with this. It’s a viewer/editor for all the startup and recurrent background tasks on your Mac. But also it has a feature to notify you of any edits/additions to the startup/background items that I otherwise wouldn’t have known about.
Yeah it sucks :( Almost exactly a year ago, I got a brand new 15.36TB Kioxia CD-6R (u.3 pcie4x4 drive) for $1450+tax from serverpartdeals.com - that same drive is now listed for ~$4600 (and it’s also out of stock there)
Yeah I was quite surprised that the advanced chat gpt voice mode can’t itself go and message the frontier model underneath to retrieve data and then speak it.
I basically tried asking it for that (something like “can you go and ask gpt5.5 to research this more in depth, and while we wait, tell me about XYZ”), but apparently that’s not a thing.
I believe so. With Pro you get “Thinking” with levels Light, Standard, Extended, and Heavy; and you also get the “Pro” model with levels “Standard” and “Extended”.
I don’t often go to Pro as it does take a while like you saw here, but I do often use Thinking Heavy for high quality answers.
Idk why, but i just get consistently worse results with Gemini (Gemini pro), where it’s just much lazier, eg won’t do actual searches unless explicitly told.
Definitely feels like fraud to me too.
Kind of reminds me of Amazon listings where some seller has some decent quality product, collects a lot of high reviews, then uses the same listing and does a complete switcharoo to a much shittier more profitable product, replacing images and the description, but keeping the higher rating from earlier. Which also to me sounds like fraud.
At least the Chinese brands don’t try and hide it much like the companies listed here, they’ll just generate a new 5-letter new company to sell low quality crap.
I think something like this: Imagine a tool for querying remote grpc endpoints - you would point at some endpoint to query it / explore it, and the tool would request the proto schema files from a potentially untrusted source - something you would not expect to be that unsafe and trigger an rce.
For mobile Safari on iOS/iPad, the back button imo is just completely broken. It’s either a bug, or Apple might say I’m ‘holding it wrong’.
One version it just stopped doing its one job correctly and it’s messing with my mental model of how I arrived at each tab. Currently:
Safari iOS: Be on a page, tap hold a link, click Open in new tab, go to new tab. The Back button should be grayed out and isn’t, and clicking it closes the tab. (???)
Chrome iOS: Be on a page, tap hold a link, click Open in new tab, go to new tab. Back button correctly grayed out as the tab has nowhere to go back to.
Same question from me too - I do have a few services on my homelab at home - stuff like a NAS, synology surveillance, homeassistant, few lxc containers hosting random services on Proxmox - and it all works just fine for my needs with standard WireGuard vpn setup on all my devices (macbook/ipad/iphone/android). What would cloudflare tunnel get me?
Huh, I don’t know what “long context performance” means exactly in these tests, so completely anecdotally
, my experience with gpt5.4 via codex cli vs Claude code opus, gpt5.4 seems to do significantly better in long contexts I think partly due to some special context compaction stored in encrypted blobs. On long conversations opus in Claude code will for me lose memory of what we were working on earlier, whereas one of my codex chats is already at >1B tokens and is still very coherent and remembers things I asked of it at the beginning of the convo.
