I believe there are a number of cli tools which also use Anthropic's Max plan (subscription) - this isn't just an OpenCode issue.

I had the TaskMaster AI tool hooked up to my Anthropic sub, as well as a couple of other things - Kilo Code and and Roo Code iirc?

From discussions at the time (6 months ago) this "use your Anthropic sub" functionality was listed by at least one of the above projects as "thanks to the functionality of the Anthropic SDK you can now use your sub...." implying it was officially sanctioned rather than via a "workaround".

I'm pretty sold. downloaded it earlier, had an issue with Lucid not automatically appearing in the list of apps to permit accessibility permission, but after a coffee I remembered that apps can be manually added (so you can ignore my support email! :-) ). My minor niggle would be no trial option, that always puts me off slightly - although I appreciate your refund offer. Oh hell, I'll just buy it. It's worth it to reward the slick onboarding process! :-)

Claude outage 9 months ago

I wonder if it's coincidence: today Anthropic mailed out all previous customers of Claude offering a free monthly of 5x Claude Code if they sign up again.

Plenty on Reddit saying they did. And I did.

Could the outage be a the result of an "unexpected" surge in account activations / use?

Not much of a "welcome back" ;-)

Worth noting that despite the relatively impressive battery / storage capacity, I believe there is still an 800W* max limit into the home's AC system from the EcoFlow inverter using this supply method.

Therefore you can forget completely supplying electricity for an oven, kettle or microwave in most cases.

*Due to local regulations: 800W UK, 600W in some parts of Europe - I believe it's 800W in the US but please DYOR.

Having said all that, their existing PowerStream inverter + battery Power Stations work really well and are literally plug & play. I've been running a setup in the UK and it's drastically reduced our electricity consumption from the grid whilst still being a simple plug & play self-install.

It does seem crazy that the default state for Firebase, CloudFlare et.al is not to alert the account owner when out-of-the-ordinady usage charges hit, say $5k above "the norm". We're not talking a service interruption, just a simple heads-up email to confirm that all is well.

Another happy Purelymail customer here (5 years).

if anyone needs to move mail storage from one IMAP server to another (eg; Purelymail) I can highly recommend https://imapsync.lamiral.info/

Not for it's website graphic design, but as a CLI tool that works perfectly. "source server -->> target server" and let it run

Today, after many years, I unsubscribed and unfollowed MKBHD.

I'm just bored and fed up with his smart-alec "hey this is a bad new thing" videos to catch eyeballs and feed the algo.

Seems as though unless you're a big-bucks big-tech that's going to give him a discount on a fancy electric car then you're nothing.
