I stick with OpenCode Zen (only US providers) and Together.ai (hosting themselves). As interesting as new Chinese models are when they're first released, I wait til they are open source and on US providers.

Briar is designed to work over 1) tor, 2) ad-hoc wifi, 3) bluetooth. None of those are going to be conducive to sending push notifications through Apple's servers.

Yes, and not only that but you can't even access it via API, you can only use it in Devin (formerly Windsurf). I'm an OpenCode user, but I'll fall back to Claude Code if I want to use Opus end to end for something, given my c

China, who keeps undercutting ai prices and producing things efficiently? I don't have to imagine what it would be like under communism in order to see what it's already like under capitalism.

None of mine are required to buy a plex account either. They just need to make a free account. Me running it with Plex Pass means they don't have to pay to stream it.

Because they're turning off OpenClaw being able to use your subscription quota, so you'll have to pay Extra Usage in order to use it.

That's not the purpose of the trick. The purpose is to soften the blow for turning off support for OpenClaw and other third party connectors. Now to use OpenClaw et all you'll have to pay at extra usage pricing, it won't coun

If you want to use Opus with a different coding harness along with a coding plan, you can use Github CoPilot. It even has built in authentication with OpenCode.

I bought a used Nissan Versa from Hertz and regretted it immensely. Not only did the CVT transmission go on me (it took a while for my year's class action lawsuit, but they did offer me ... $1k on a new Nissan. No thanks), but Hertz is
