One thing I've noticed since Claude Opus 4.6 released is that Claude Code is noticeably worse at finding things it has already done. It was adamant, right up until the point I told it where to find the code, that something did not exist, so there was no pattern to follow.
I had 32MB in my PR166. SB AWE32. I'm struggling to remember what I had graphics wise. I know at some early-ish point I had a Riva TNT2.

It also ignores the fact there are literally APIs where user only has to enter their zip/postcode and building number to get the rest of their address.
Pretty awful idea IMHO. Dropdowns are fast (done right), resource light, users are used to them and they aren't subject to hallucinations and users getting annoyed because yet another developer thinks they know better than they do about their name.

This should be a legal requirement for being allowed to sell networked devices.

Poorly boy means the Christmas we had planned is called off. On the plus side, it does mean not having to drive on Boxing Day.
His books are banned in our house. Punching down all the time, horrible.
Yup, killing me right now. Having to re-evaluate our hardware replacement plans for next year. Was looking at boxes with 1.5-2TB DDR5, although I suppose we might get some money back on the DDR4 from the servers coming out (but they only have half the amount).
Ugh @virustotal.bsky.social why are you still using data from Phishing.Database on GitHub? It's quite clear it is an absolute dumpster fire of data with no validation when they list the whole of AWS S3 as phishing.
Allegedly safety did. In accidents a large amount of people supposedly ended up with significant knee damage from keys being snapped and metal gouging legs.
Don't get any better in business land either, "we are getting rid of SQL Server Web Edition. You can either ditch your hardware and use Azure or pay 10x as much for Standard Edition".
Presumably to run Windows or Linux on the MBP? As a 2011 is well out of MacOS updates.
Absolutely. Our local council used to buy £300-350 laptops every couple of years. Last one for the clerk - £700. Had a mid-life SSD and memory upgrade for £100, it's 10 years old now. Saved loads of money, and more importantly, time.
You can't even trust cruise control unless you set the speed manually. I drove past several very large speed markers on motorway for a temporary speed limit, it thought the 50 was 60. You can't trust auto high beam either, even my 13 year old Ford got that right.

It's only taken 25 years of patient waiting to finally get hold of it. But today we did, although it cost us a bit more than the Nominet registration fee.
It was first registered in 1996!
Pricing on NVMe has also started to rise sharply as well, although nothing quite like RAM pricing yet.
Yeah, we were paying about £2-£2.50/GB on DDR4 ECC Reg, we are now looking at £8-10/GB!
The rest of us not part of the AI hype machine will gladly take it off them at the prices we paid at the start of the year or less. We've seen costs increase 4-5x on RAM this year :(
I should probably have added more context. There will be no SQL Server 2025 Web Edition, @microsoft.com have killed it. Meaning you either jump to Azure, or face a 10x jump in your license costs with Standard. Either way as an SP your cost base radically altered. Either way you lose.
@microsoft.com giving the middle finger again to hosting providers I see:
"Furthermore, Web edition has traditionally served small to medium web applications where cost efficiency is critical. Today, Azure SQL Database delivers highly cost-effective, scalable solutions for modern web workloads."
It's what we've always done (albeit not on the same scale). Run the two providers side by side for a year (or sometimes 2!).
Yep, and I can't see how we can find our way out of it :(
We've tried little experiments over the last 25 years with sticking a honeypot online with a basic-ish password and seeing how long it was before it was logged in to as the root user. It used to be several days, now it's several seconds.
Unfortunately the reality for many, is that without CF, their site would be offline, or they'd have to pay significantly more for infrastructure, to the point of their site/business not being viable due to all the "Bad Things" that infest the swamp that is the modern internet.
A company that publishes an 'article' such a thing as "the best alternatives" then puts their own company at the top of the list, merits no time.
I can't help feel you've somewhat missed the point. The internet itself yes, but we've moved towards a web that's focused on 5 or 6 megacorps that act as a single point of failure for much of it.
Having to pay a monthly/annual subscription for a decent SSH client was the final nail. If not had been nominal I might have, but £80/yr for something decent that could cope with bastion hosts etc. was just taking the pee.
