i sometimes find myself using the desktop app on macos, but the CLI just clicks more with how i think and its more flexible too.

Sony and Fiio both make high end "mp3 players" aka Digital Audio Player. These are expensive devices and have more in common with mobile phones, but you can buy them

"don't use a pencil" i stopped reading there. That's a completely invalid and stupid thing to say. Pencils are superior to any and all other writing instruments.

Arguably not in the EU, but I'm seeing Sol,Terra and Luna on my account here in Norway

Thank you Simon! Luna is surprisingly decent across all reasoning levels.

I prefer codex for most tasks, but stil use Claude if i need to make something "nice but generic", i.e. a html artefact or touch up of front end code.

Norway is in the ECC together with Iceland, but for some reason Iceland is not on the list where these SKUs will be available.

i did use Fable for a brief moment the last time around, and apart from being extremely expensive, it wasn't any order of magnitude better than Opus or even GPT-5.5 for my workloads (development, prototyping, some api testing). I probably could manage indefinitely on Sonnet class models

This makes no sense, it only will embolden any attempts by china and other countries to move away from depending on US AI tech

I rarely use widows, but i feel like windows media player is only there to check a box that windows has a media player. Most people dont play local videos anyway, and those who do use something else like VLC.

This will be interesting to follow. I dont see how this can be fully enforced. Maybe for iOS and other platform where app distribution is highly restricted, but on linux, windows and even macOS i can use mullvad, sending cash in an envelope without ever revealing my identity.

i've been wearing headphones in public since the 90s (walkman > discman), i have no idea how the author thinks headphones is a new phenomenon. I'm not particularly interested in unsolicited advice or conversation, so that's a plus for me.

I dont buy that Amazon activly tried to interfere with Anthropic while being one of the largest owners. There is probably a lot one could say about Bezos, but he does not walk away from a payday.

Probably great for those who need this. I could continue using opus 4.6 class models for the foreseeable future
