No one who takes their job seriously uses Copilot anything.

The minimum withdrawal is 10 usd or 20 usd, depending on where you'll be withrdrawing it to. You have less than that in your account and won't be using Paypal soon? say goodbye to those 7 dollars.

-- Oh, but you can wait, maybe later you'll use those 7 dollars

No, if you don't do transactions for 1 year, they charge you a $10 inactivity fee.

It’s designed to hold your money hostage and then take it afterward

The only reason to use Paypal is that you have no other way of paying for something. Even cryptocurrency is more user-friendly than Paypal.

Btw, their conversion rates are awful.

PayPal itself is a scam.

I don’t even know who this is marketed towards.

If their intention is to target the general public, then I think they're out of touch with reality, and it doesn’t seem targeted at AI enthusiasts either.

Mmm... I think I missed that part.

Did OpenAI's order actually kickstart the "panic" over RAM?

Are they really such a big RAM buyer?

AFAIK, Flutter has had a good, capable CLI since the beggining. You've never needed to install Android Studio to use Flutter.

Much better than Claude.

I've never hit the quota on Codex.

On Claude (Code), I used to hit it every other day before switching to Codex.

AFAIK, all current versions of Android have Google Play Services. It's an essential part of the "official" Android.

If you run GrapheneOS, LineageOS or whatever, then it's not real Android, and the entire problem of your OS restricting you from installing apps does not exist.

> Lastly, humans use way less energy to solve these in fewer steps,

Not if you count all the energy that was necessary to feed, shelter and keep the the human at his preferred temperature so that he can sit in front of a computer and solve the problem.

I'm not OP, but I do get annoyed by bad car physics on movies.

The worst offenders are brake sounds not correlating to the car movement, engine sounds not correlating to the car's acceleration, nonsensical car deceleration while braking, and steering wheel not correlating to car steering.
