Best Way to Cook Corn on the Cob

My favorite simple way to cook corn on the cob: simmer shucked ears in water, a cup of milk, and half a stick of butter for 7 to 8 minutes. The kernels come out sweet, rich, and tender. Most people will not need extra butter at the table. Quick recipe facts Serves: 4 to 6 Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 8 minutes Total: 13 minutes What you need 6 ears of corn, husked and silks removed (cut in half

Best Computer for ChatGPT in 2026

Published April 25, 2026. Updated May 8, 2026. Summary: don’t overspend, if you are an intermediate to lightly advanced CODEX/ChatGPT user I would start with the MacBook Air M5 for CODEX and ChatGPT, especially at ~$949 on sale See current price. It is silent, the 18-hour battery is real-world good, and Atlas, voice mode, and the desktop app all feel native on it. The $599 Neo surprised me most as an ultra budget option 🙂 If you want the fast

How to Use GPT-5.5 Today at the CLI (Via Your Existing Codex Subscription)

Update 2026-04-26 Small 4/26 update before you run the commands below: Codex CLI 0.125.0 added GPT-5.5 to codex exec -m gpt-5.5 and the Codex MCP server. (For MCP, restart Claude Code after upgrading so the running server picks up the new binary.) The relay is no longer the only path to 5.5 from your terminal. The OpenAI public API still hasn’t shipped 5.5 as of today. I’m still keeping the relay for fast one-off pipes and as a backup connection

How to Remove McAfee WebAdvisor and That Popup on Windows

TL;DR: To remove McAfee WebAdvisor, uninstall “WebAdvisor by McAfee” from Settings > Apps & features. You have to SCROLL to find it b/c the “Find a setting” search does not filter the app list. Click through the “we’ll miss you” retention popup and you’re done. I just use Windows Defender as it is much less obtrusive and generally very capable. I booted my Lenovo Legion 7 (16ACHG6) for the first time in a while and was greeted with this not

How to Fix Codex Sandbox Errors on Ubuntu 24.04

Terminal before and after: bwrap RTM_NEWADDR error before the AppArmor profile, ok after

TL;DR: Codex sandbox errors on Ubuntu 24.04 almost always trace back to one thing on freshly installed boxes: AppArmor blocking bwrap. A five-line /etc/apparmor.d/bwrap profile fixed it on my system. If you’re hitting the same wall, paste your error into Claude Code and let it walk you through. 💪 The Symptom: Codex Sandbox Hangs on Ubuntu 24.04 My Codex setup on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 VM was unusable. Every codex exec call burned 35K to 54K tokens over 2 or

Dell WD19TBS Mouse Lag: Firmware Update Fixed Every Device

TL;DR: If you’re chasing WD19TBS mouse lag, try the Dell Dock Firmware Update Utility before anything else. My dock was stuttering on every device I plugged in: a Dell laptop, a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, a MacBook,  and my Lenovo Legion 7. Running the utility fixed it. The updater showed only one component actually changed: the dock’s embedded controller, 01.01.00.14 to 01.01.00.15. The mouse cursor stopped stuttering! 💪 The Issues Any device I connected to my Dell thunderbolt dock would

Claude Opus 4.6 vs 4.7 Max: Which is better? Graded on Real World Planning

Letter-grade scorecard comparing Claude Opus 4.6 Max and Claude Opus 4.7 Max on a WordPress modernization planning task, with Opus 4.7 winning overall A- to C

TL;DR: This is one real WordPress website maintenance task, run once against each model. On that task, Claude Opus 4.7 produced the stronger first-pass plan because it started from a more accurate baseline. Opus 4.6 was faster and caught one thing 4.7 missed, but it got the active theme wrong and claimed an impossible PHP version. I would not execute either plan as written. Grades below. Note: Opus 4.7 is getting a rough reception on Reddit and around the web
