2 comments

TL;DR: ChatGPT’s Codex has its own usage analytics page at https://chatgpt.com/codex/cloud/settings/analytics, separate from the main ChatGPT settings. You need to be logged into your ChatGPT account first. The page splits your Codex usage into three meters: a 5-hour rolling limit, a weekly limit, and pay-as-you-go credits. Here is an example screenshot: Where EXACTLY Do I Find My Codex Usage on ChatGPT? You have to be logged into your ChatGPT account first.

Leave a comment

The MacBook Neo is Apple’s $599 fanless entry Mac, built around the binned 5-core-GPU variant of the A18 Pro.

Why this post exists This post puts the MacBook Neo’s A18 Pro 5-core GPU against Snapdragon X1 and X2, AMD Radeon iGPUs, Intel Arc, and

Note: this post is published but still in progress. Spot something missing or amiss? Comment at the end 👍. This is a long article. If you just want three paragraphs, this is it: Few laptop families display their lineage as visibly as the ThinkPad. Since IBM introduced the ThinkPad notebook lineup in 1992, the brand has survived more than three decades, a change of corporate ownership, and repeated shifts in what a portable computer is expected to do.

Codex /goal feature (TESTED)

Leave a comment

Summary: Codex’s new /goal mode lets you hand it a long-running task and walk away. From there it loops plan → act → test → review until your stop condition is met, or your weekly quota taps out. Currently it takes a two-line config edit to enable, then prefix your prompt with /goal. This is very much in line with what the reddit crowd does with a lot of their homebrew scripts and it opens some fun possibilities! Worth turning

The BeBox: One of the Most Beautifully Overbuilt Computers of the 1990s

6 comments

Late 2000. There is a grey and blue tower PC on my dorm-room desk like nothing anybody who walks into the room has ever seen. The Be logo on the front, a 3.5″ floppy peeking out the bottom of the drive bays, and the vertical grille that hides two columns of green LEDs (blinkenlights) dancing with the CPU load.  This was a dual-PowerPC workstation running an operating system you didn’t see in the wild. I was studying computer science at

2 comments

TL;DR: I went to claude.ai/settings/usage this morning to check my Claude Max (5x) plan limits and got a red error box: “Unable to load usage limits. Please try again later.” Anthropic’s status page banner read All Systems Operational, but Settings > Usage was still erroring for me at 7:44 AM Central. The workaround that did work: run /usage inside Claude Code. The session and weekly meters loaded immediately. claude.ai/settings/usage on the morning of April 30, 2026. The Plan usage limits

The Mother-In-Law Method for Claude or ChatGPT

Screenshot of the original Mother-In-Law Method post on r/ClaudeAI by u/Ancient_Perception_6

A Reddit post called “The Mother-In-Law Method” is making the rounds in r/ClaudeAI right now. The pitch from u/Ancient_Perception_6: prompt Claude to review your code as if it were written by your mother-in-law, the one who insulted your cooking and your “weird-looking feet.” Find revenge in the diff. Claude obliged, spawned four parallel “hostile reviewers” with distinct beats (money math, tenancy, API contracts, tests), and 31 minutes later returned 27 issues plus nits. Funny post. Funnier thread. It’s tagged as
