Kind of like a delorean

I haven't done this for a notes app but I have for diet and Todo apps. It's nice to have exactly the features I want and nothing more.

Interesting point. I hope you are right and that time comes soon because I'm very much regretting not building a new computer in the last 10 years.

How much of a potato? You think we will eventually be able to run inference on a rasp pi?

I presume you mean a stock that holds its price with no dividend?

The problem is it's hard to realize that is indeed the case.

Still wild to me that people would gamble or look at pornography on a company computer

Sounds like he wasn't allowed from my talks with him but I had the same thought as you.

My guess is since it's an industry with a lot of compliance maybe there was a requirement.

For the first time a friend of mine left a job because they were fed up that 80% of the job was reviewing Claude submissions. I have to admit that would probably drive me nuts as well.

Maybe I don't understand the word snarky but this seemed fine.

I bounced around distros for a good while and nothing ever stuck until I tried Fedora. Now Linux is all I use. It's low friction and low maintenance.

Plus I went and installed a bunch of cool desktop effects so it's cool to me now :)

New comment by PacificSpecific in "Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion"

Oh yes I still use it at work.

The max account is for home projects where I'm basically making some common tools but tailored to myself (diet tracker, note app etc).

It's been great but across work and home it's just too much.

I got a max account during this promotion and it's been very fun but I'm a little burned out and am kind of looking forward to going back and tinkering with game engines without the help of an LLM for code gen (will still use it for documentation questions but I can do that with the free tier)

Glad to see this comment as this has generally been my experience as well. I'm really curious to see why it's so infuriating for others. My best guess is I'm using it more conservatively than most other users in this thread.

I dare say LLMs were one of the things that finally pushed me over the top to be a full time Linux user. For a lifetime Windows user Linux novice like me they really helped me get unblocked on basic stuff like installing Nvidia drivers and setting up a samba share.

Anecdotally it does seem to be the case in my experience with extended family.

I've had this too on my personal pro plan and also when I run the usage command it says it's resetting tomorrow rather than getting cut off.

I'm trying to squeeze what I can in the meantime but I feel like they said it was getting cut off multiple times and they keep extending and possibly resetting it (havent been looking close enough to know for sure)
