It’s 9am. You’ve just made your coffee. You’re ready to be productive. Then your calendar reminds you that you have standup in five minutes. You sigh, open the video call, and wait for everyone to trickle in over the next seven minutes while Dave figures out why his microphone isn’t working again.
Finally, the ritual begins. Sarah goes first. “Yesterday I worked on the API stuff, today I’m continuing with the API stuff, no blockers.” Fantastic. Groundbreaking information. Absolutely could not have been a single line of text.
RangeMenu adds a proper right-click context menu to Froala Editor, with any Froala command by name, contextual table and image actions, and nested submenus.
Bruno’s microphone was clipping so hard by about 6:15am that every time he raised his voice it sounded like a blown speaker in a Commodore. It wasn’t a bit hot either, it was properly distorting, the crunchy overdriven mush you get when someone slams a gain knob to the right and walks away from the desk.
Nobody fixed it for ages. An hour and 44 minutes in, Kyle was still on air explaining that he’d had to drag Bruno’s mic right down because he’s so loud, and that there was a lot of tweaking going on as he spoke. That’s most of the show gone with someone under the desk still trying to make it work.
Fable 5 came back on the 1st of July with a meter attached. Max plans get it at 50% of weekly limits from the 20th. Pro moved to usage credits with a one-off hundred dollars to soften the landing. The best model any of us had used was available again, and you had to decide whether a task was worth spending it on.
Opus 5 landed on Friday at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output. Fable 5 is $10 and $50.
I was trying to get into Privileged Mode on my NordicTrack treadmill when it stopped me with a code, then asked for a response before it would let me through.
A bit of searching led me into the NordicTrack owner community, where people had already pulled the whole thing apart. They’d worked out how iFit generated the response, shared the calculation and saved everyone else from having to ring support for a temporary code.
Nobody in Canberra has stood up and said “we’re banning VPNs.” They don’t have to. If you’ve watched how this government operates, you already know where this is heading.
The under-16 social media ban kicked in back in December. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, all of them now have to take “reasonable steps” to keep kids off, or cop fines up to $49.5 million. Fine. Whatever you think of the policy, that’s the law now.
