Every installation guide I read tells me to disable Secure Boot in firmware before installing, and then never mentions it again. It stays off. That feels like disabling a security feature permanently to solve a one time…
60 specs, runs a production build and serves it. Green locally in 42 seconds. On I get seven failures, always on a , and never the same seven twice. The traces show the page rendered, the button is visibly on screen,…
I sell nothing yet. The idea is a month end reporting tool for small bookkeeping practices, the kind with two or three staff closing thirty or forty client sets a month. Six calls so far, 25 to 40 minutes each, found…
Small internal tool, maybe 40 requests a day in bursts. If two people use it within a few minutes it is instant. If nobody has touched it for an hour, the first request takes 38 seconds before a single token appears,…
Two year old handset, I could replace it secondhand for about €300. The carrier plan is €9 a month plus a €70 excess per claim, covering accidental damage and theft with a police report. That's €108 a year before I've…
Next 15.4, app router. The action is four lines: A client component calls it inside a transition and I get It names the field. If I log the object on the server it looks completely ordinary. What is it actually…
Plan A is $49/mo, plan B is $19/mo. Someone opens the billing portal on day 3 of the cycle, switches to B, and Stripe hands them a proration credit for the unused A time. That credit parks on their customer balance and…
Currently on a paid Proton plan mainly because I already pay for the mail, so the bundle looked sensible. What I actually use it for is a laptop and a phone, occasional streaming from home while abroad, and keeping a…
Same hero layout, same three step section, and two paragraphs of my copy with the nouns swapped. Pricing is one dollar under mine. I know the standard answer is 'execution matters, not ideas'. I would still like to know…
First iOS app, solo. I picked a launch date, told a small list, then submitted expecting the usual few days of waiting. It came back approved in about fourteen hours and now sits there approved and unreleased, which…
My work is debugging across five services. A typical investigation is app logs, traces, a dashboard and code in three repos, and the model's job is to narrow, not to write. Sonnet has been good at it. I also hit the…
I got caught out by how fast eats a 5 hour session window, so instead of just picking the biggest name on the list I am rebuilding my defaults deliberately. The cloud line up I can see on Ollama right now: glm 5.2, kimi…
I maintain an application whose framework renders HTML on the server, and it works well. Parts of it now want more interactivity than a page reload gives: live filtering, inline editing, a couple of genuinely dynamic…
I installed to try the instant navigation work, turned on , sprinkled through layouts and data loaders, and now my i18n and auth paths are unhappy in ways I do not want to fix at 11pm. I want to go back to a stable…
Five months into a bad stretch and everyone in my life has handed me a bottle of something. I now own magnesium, ashwagandha, a B complex, and something with 'adrenal' on the label that I already suspect is nonsense.…
Side project. Normally the bill is $30 40. This morning the billing page says $1,940 month to date and there are 9 days left in the month. I have never had to debug a bill before. The console shows me a giant number and…
Second line for a small MSP. Every few months we hit the identical wall: one access network can't reach one destination, everything else from that line is fine, and the ticket gets closed after a first line agent pings…
Burned through the monthly allowance on the $20 plan in about nine days and I genuinely cannot tell you what did it. I am not looking for "use a cheaper model", I want to know how to attribute the spend while it is…
Designing an ordering flow for a restaurant and I need a control that lets people narrow the menu by dietary preference. I used the funnel icon, which appears to be the standard choice. I am not asking what icon to use…
A colleague set this as a puzzle: two strings of H and T, 200 each. One came from actual flips, one a student invented while trying to look random. Work out which is which and be able to justify it. I know the counts of…
Two machines on the same build here. On the older one the first right click in File Explorer is consistently slow: I counted roughly a second and a half of nothing before the menu paints, then it's instant for the next…
The camera I recently bought lets me choose between a mechanical shutter and an electronic one. I have taken a few frames each way and the results look the same to me. I assume that if one were simply better, the…
I work on a backend split across a lot of services. What I need from a coding assistant is mostly "read the existing docs and code and tell me where the thing I want already lives", far more than "write this function".…
Still employed full time, building nights and weekends, realistically 12 hours a week and that won't change for at least six months. B2B tool for small accounting practices, planning $49/mo per seat. Self serve means…
Box: DGX Spark. 128GB unified LPDDR5X, 273 GB/s shared between the CPU and GPU sides of the GB10. That bandwidth number is the whole story of this machine and I keep having to remind myself of it. Current daily driver:…
