I've done this with Cursor because I have similar issues with inconsistent allowance consumption there. I mostly use Claude models but I've had to disable Opus 4.6 because it just EATS tokens in it's thinking steps.

It's more similar to someone asking for a cardboard countertop - any contractor would be well within their rights to tell them it's a bad idea and would be negligent if they didn't.

It isn't about the price. The level of service and the quality of the product you get by pirating is simply better. Streaming services break up shows and have s1-3 on one platform, 4-5 on another, and the rest on another still. You'll "buy" a movie on amazon prime video only for them to remove it so you can't watch it anymore. Prime video, a service you have to pay for now has ad breaks while watching shows. Even just FINDING stuff to watch is a nightmare, Netflix is the same stuff over and over again in different random made up categories.

Frankly, I don't believe their claims that they don't degrade the models. I know we see models as less intelligent as we get used to them and their novelty wears off but I've had to entirely give up on Claude as a coding assistant because it seems to be incapable of following instructions anymore.

They need to focus on fixing reliability first. Their systems constantly go down and it appears they are having to quantise the models to keep up with demand, reducing intelligence significantly. New features like this feel pointless when the underlying model is becoming unusable.

I have a hard time accepting that this would fly in the UK. We have strong consumer protection laws in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that I think this would run afoul of. Terms can't be unfair, and are deemed so if "contrary to the requirement of good faith, it causes a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations under the contract to the detriment of the consumer." and a product must be fit for purpose for 6 years - if this ceased to be the case the consumer is entitled to a full refund or replacement.

I feel like they've been inspired by crypto for the way they handle billing. They sell you "Energy" which you use by running on their infra. Seems like a needless abstraction to me.

I pay national insurance every month, its automatically taken from my salary. Most of the time it pays for other people's care - and that's absolutely fine with me. And if at some point I need care, I know it will be there for me and how much money I have won't come into it, the costs of my care won't be weighed against the value of my life, i'll just get the care I need. It doesn't need to be so expensive, the US has just built such an incredibly inefficient system ( or efficient if you accept it is designed to generate outrageous profit from the suffering of humans).

Apple tried that with me when the screen died on my MacBook Pro M1. There is a law in the UK (Consumer Rights Act 2015) that says goods purchased must be fit for purpose for six years. I quoted this to support and they instantly agreed to fix it for free, sent me a box to put it in then collected it. I had it back within 2 weeks fully repaired and working again.

In one example I came in and found a data vault project that wasn’t being used. It actually had pretty good documentation. However, the team had taken so long and hadn’t fully completed the project which led to their dismissal.

I feel like this is a major reason things don't get documentation. We don't get judged on it, nobody cares how good the docs are, but they DO care that we're shipping features.

I switched from Plex to JF after being a plex user from the very beginning. It's not as polished as plex but it has none of the bloat and works flawlessly for me. It's super easy to manage my libraries and the meta scanners work 95% of the time, very rarely needing me to manually tweak data or images for media.

Jellyfin android works fine on firetv. The only thing you might struggle with if you run the server on a pi is transcoding, especially if you have 4k media files.

I have high hopes for the background replacement tech, the segmentation built into teams isn't very good.
