I only use the Google models via OpenRouter. Partially as setting up directly is a pain, and keeping the Gemini CLI working was another pain but also as a buffer to protect my Google account as you mention

Yeah, leave vulnerabilities exposed all weekend... ;p

I have been with clients that has that 'don't push to prod on Friday' like it was 2010. It is so frustrating, basically loosing 20% of your work week and batching work for a deluge on Monday.

It is a red flag of flaky architecture and low confidence in ops processes.

Though pushing at 5pm on a Friday is a bit of a dick move.

You try ignoring when the family helpdesk is called. You never hear the end of it.

Yeah we need a dial to mix accents and dialects, and level of English fluency. I could want 50% English, maybe some Northern English, Welsh or Scottish, and mix in Indian accents, various American, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Scandinavian, the odd token Aussie. Etc.

That I could enable more South African, or Middle East accents in some meetings would be true to real life as well.

Not Finnish. The silence would not work :)

One more prompt. Knowing when to stop, when working together.

I have also accepted I need duplicates of stuff for convenience.

I have one box that has all that I need when we go away for the weekend/week (by car, not plane). All the chargers since the family now has a lot of phones, headsets, kindles, cameras etc. 2 HDMI cables, audio splitters, speakers, extension leads etc that I nearly always need when away for a while.

And then my commute bag has a small essentials bag for the now rarer times I work elsewhere.

All with duplicates of what I already have at home. That I before instead used to unpack and reuse at home, then find and repack all the time, and forget some. Not a problem anymore. My tech packing is literally picking up a box and put it in the boot of the car. Done.

The problem with the big box of cables is that they multiply over the years. I now have 3 big boxes of cables. And a few smaller ones.

At least they are see trough plastic so I can easily see what is inside them though.

Yeah. A foldable that is the size of the 12 mini so that you can use it with one hand but still fold out to watch something etc.

But instead we got the largest screen before unfolding…
