I moved away from digital ocean about 6 years ago and never looked back. I found their customer support to be rude, and their offerings to be overpriced.

Lame. "We don't want AI pointed at our code so we're going closed source". That's hilarious and a cover up.

I support AA. Lawyers can't solve this, sorry.

Agree with a lot of this except sqlite, and the fact that if I commit to building something I typically put it in the cloud with basic scaling from the start for efficiency.

Yeah, no one is responsible for what they do as long as someone else tells them to do it.

As a free tier user I only get like three queries in now without model quality reduction, so I'd say your bases are covered as far as GPU costs around misuse.

I'm just surprised people hadn't realized earlier that these SOCs were capable of more than Apple had let on. They're incredibly capable, but profits and capitalism are the problem as always.

i can get an app one shotted pretty much every time i use cline too. why would i ever use a proprietary solution that’s opinionated and likely eventually costs (idk i didn't look)?

add this to the bubble theory

Not a lot of proof in this post. A lot of admiration, but not a lot of clear examples.

New comment by diebillionaires in "Lessons learned shipping 500 units of my first hardware product"

diebillionaires — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 15:52:26 +0000

580 watts is more than my entire server rack. By a good amount too. I run a UPS, firewall appliance, two switches, two APs (over POe), and a NAS with a 36 HHD disk shelf. All of that clocks in at 380 watts steady. Just some food for thought.

diebillionaires — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 07:13:16 +0000

I got both of my 4k dell 27" monitors for like $450 each and it's amazing. I would never pay this much. I'd just buy a 48" OLED. But that was too big. This is just silly and overpriced.

Couldn't agree more. I haven't and won't update to Tahoe, and am now using linux more frequently as I begin to move away from Mac OS, and eventually Apple products.
