Same! I'll occasionally use it for something just to get stared down by an angry dolphin :/ (Most recently, to verify the microchip in our rescue)

It really bugged me that one of its selling features was the ability to open doors and gates and such, but it refused to open my garage door (which has an '80s pre-rolling-codes old fashioned signal, but it's within the standard bands) because of some FCC technicality. I heard there was some third-party firmware that enabled such things, but it made me wary that it might be illegal to install...

Is this related at all to Tiny Glade? Seems like a very similar concept, but shifted to a gritter, darker aesthetic (which is very cool)...the name must at least be a nod to it?

As someone who inherited a large, country-spanning stamp/cover collection: +1 to this. As someone with collecting tendencies myself, I don't look down on my relatives for doing the collecting (unlike some of my family), and knowing how much work and thought went into it, I don't want to just toss it in the trash (again, unlike some of my family)... But I also have no idea what to do with it, and I have neither the knowledge nor the time to even attempt to go through it, nevermind actually selling any parts of it. So there it sits, taking up quite a bit of room in my house. I keep hoping someday I'll stumble upon an enthusiast who'll want to take the entire thing (for a low bulk price), but there don't seem to be that many collectors around nowadays, and as you (and others here) have mentioned, a lot of the personal value comes from having done the collecting, so most collectors probably wouldn't be interested anyways.

So I encourage collectors to take this advice! Set aside anything you'd want your family to try to get value for, separate from what you're okay with them letting go.

(Possibly as a consequence of this, my collecting tendencies tend towards things with intrinsic value such as tools -- I tell myself that at least selling e.g. a hammer at a yard sale should be easier if you don't need to find someone looking for a one-of-a-kind mis-forged XYZ brand from October 1965... Definitely not expecting anything to be a store of actual value, though, and I'm sure my heirs will feel burdened no matter what they end up having to deal with in my estate)

Wow, this is a lovely tool, and it's clearly built with a lot of your own knowledge! I'm in New England and this has some great recs for my land.

One slight piece of feedback: it's pretty clear a lot of the text was output of AI. IME (and just _my_ E, of course), this detracts somewhat from the authority of the page, as it makes it seem more like it just came from a conversation with Claude, rather than from your knowledge filtered through building an app. Might be worth doing a couple of passes to tighten up and human-ize it a bit :). (since it's open source, I suppose I could always PR myself if you'd be open to it)

sometimes I wonder if things like this are actually dark patterns to _encourage_ accidentally clicking 'like' etc.

similar to how in Threads, the '...' icon (under which 'save' is hidden) is so small that half the time clicking on it just clicks the entire thread (opening it to view replies) -- sometimes I suspect they make the target extra small on purpose

or how on FB, some of the options in the menu are now under the AI generated content, which pops in just slowly enough to encourage misclicks as items shift under your finger

all to make some PM's numbers go up, of course...

Another reason I'm so incensed that Google bought Fitbit. Every Fitbit I had prior to the Google acquisition worked extremely well and had battery life in the 5-7-day range. My favorite was the Sense which was basically a full (but svelte) smartwatch + full fitness tracker.

Now: just overpriced crappy Google hardware that lasts 12 hours because of AI and who knows what else they shoved on there.

And nobody else makes anything close to what Fitbit made...

Claude Code 2.1.68 seems to have been the last version (before the "ctrl-o" debacle) which actually shows thinking inline. That + Opus 4.6 has been working great as a daily driver for me... all the new "safety" / "preventing misuse" pain points in the newer models and harnesses are so frustrating in comparison.

Unpleasantly close to when Cloudflare bought BastionZero... the promises quickly fell away, the tool decayed (I found three serious bugs in one single week...and they had stopped even bothering to publish changelogs), and Cloudflare eventually gave us a "hey, we're actually shutting this down in a month, good luck" email prompting a scramble to rewire all of our infrastructure.

(Fwiw SDM ended up being a better alternative anyways... not looking forward to their eventual acquisition and shutdown :/ )

What is the latest way to show thoughts in Claude Code? I had to pin 2.1.68 since that seemed to be the last one with thinking shown (even though there wasn't anything about it in the following changelog), but I keep hearing that people using newer versions are still able to see it with some flag(s)?

And even for their older cars, most parts have gone NLA (no longer available), sending prices through the roof if you can find them at all! At least Porsche and Mercedes have programs to manufacture new parts for their old cars...

(My E39 M5 was one of the last user-repairable BMWs, but it's getting very expensive. On the other hand, it's driving a significant market for regular people designing and building replacement parts, whether 3D-printed, CNC'd, or homemade)

I have been wanting a pocket-notebook-size tablet since the day I got my RM2. I've been considering the Move since it came out, but the stylus change was worrying me, and the price is pretty high -- I feel like I would have bought release day if they offered a lower priced monochrome one in the same form factor, especially if it used the RM2 stylus...

It's encouraging to hear you have had a good experience with it. Maybe I'll grab one if they ever go on sale!

Is there anything beyond your minor nits that you would caution someone like me about before buying?

Has anyone migrated off of LastPass recently? How was it? I've been a user for decades, and though my frustration with them has been mounting for a long time, I've felt locked in. Migrating seems like a pain, especially for elderly relatives on my plan who will have difficulty picking up a new manager (it was hard enough for them to learn to use a manager in the first place), but every time I use 1Pass for work it blows me away how much better it is. Meanwhile LastPass continually makes their apps worse and more painful to use (and has the audacity to put me into "tutorial mode" every so often, as if someone using the app for the majority of its existence doesn't understand how a vault works), not to mention how many times failed vault syncs result in the losses of new passwords, and of course the data breach :/

So I'm wondering just how bad the experience of switching is now?

As someone who hasn't sold on eBay in a looooong time but was thinking about it for some stuff I haven't been able to sell on Marketplace, their pages and pages of fee structuring were intimidating. What was the breakdown of that $45, if you don't mind sharing?

For some reason nobody makes 2K 24"s anymore -- that was my sweet spot. But now to get the pixel density you have to go way bigger :/ dreading the day the old monitors I have cease working. I like the 24" size but 1080 is just so annoying. I was using 2048x1156 20" monitors back in 2010 and they had better density!

This makes me think of QGIS. I've recently been learning it for a couple different projects. It's an incredibly powerful and configurable tool, but its learning curve is incredibly steep. A big reason for this is that the UI is almost entirely toolbar+button based -- but the meaning of all of the button icons are completely opaque to a new user. And, making things worse, there's no way to change the UI to show text next to buttons. So every time a user wants to do something, even if following instructions that say "click the add feature button", they have to hunt around for it.

QGIS is free software, so it can be somewhat excused vs a billion dollar company. But they could really benefit from some UX expertise...
