Claude Code /buddy How to Preview, Hatch, and Reroll Your Terminal Pet

TL;DR: Claude Code v2.1.89 added /buddy, a virtual pet companion in your terminal. Your buddy’s body is deterministically generated from your account, and the personality generates permanently the first time you hatch it. Preview yours first with npx any-buddy current, but install Bun before you do (if you don’t already have it) Is This an April Fools Joke?

Claude vs ChatGPT vs Gemini for Coding: Testing Results

TL;DR: I ran the same 5 coding tasks through Claude Opus 4.6, OpenAI Codex CLI (gpt-5.3-codex), Google Gemini 2.5 Flash (sorry I did not have easy access to the newer models, but Gemma 4 was tested!), and two open-source models I ran locally: Gemma 4 31B and Qwen 3.5 35B. Claude’s code was the most production ready. Codex and Qwen tied for best code reviewer

I Asked Claude What Hardware It Wanted. It Told Me.

NoteTL;DR Summary: After buying the 32GB / 1TB Minisforum MS-01 from Newegg for $1,016.58 on February 8, 2026 and running it off-grid on solar in rural Missouri, I think it is one of the best Proxmox setups you can build if you care about low idle power, serious networking, and headless management. It has been rock solid and my trusty little box idles around

Can MacBook Neo Run Claude Code?

So in updating my MacBook Neo review with some additional stress testing and thermal testing, I came across some interesting results that begged the question: “Can it run Claude?” If you’re a gamer, that probably triggers the old “Can it run Crysis?” reflex. For those who don’t remember (or weren’t there), Crysis was the 2007 PC game that became the de facto

Meta Muse Spark: The Honest Scorecard (3 Wins Out of 20)

Meta just released Muse Spark, the first model from their new Superintelligence Labs. Along with it came a 20-benchmark comparison chart. The chart highlights every Muse Spark score in blue, which makes it look like Muse is leading across the board. The original Meta release table/graphic just highlighted their column and it made it seem almost as if they wo

How to Enable Wake-on-LAN (WoL) on a Synology NAS (DS925+ and Others)

TL;DR: On a Synology NAS, enabling Wake-on-LAN takes two steps in two different DSM screens. Turn on Enable WOL on LAN 1 in Control Panel > Hardware & Power > General, then get the NAS MAC address from Control Panel > Info Center > Network, not from Network > Network Interface. Why Wake-on-LAN for your NAS? Wake-on-LAN, or WoL, lets you wake a powered-down d

Chuwi MiniBook X vs MacBook Neo: The $399 Laptop That Refuses to Throttle

Disclosure: I purchased this Chuwi MiniBook X with my own money (~$399 from Amazon). See also: my MacBook Neo review and full Neo benchmark analysis. The $399 Laptop That Refuses to Throttle In my MacBook Neo review, I wrote that after 60 seconds of sustained CPU load, the Neo “drops to phone-class performance that a $400 Windows laptop can match.” A reader

Claude Code Rate exceeded.

If you are getting “Rate exceeded.” when trying to re-authorize your Claude Code instance, it is probably because Anthropic’s servers are having API/login issues: Specifically, if you haven’t been heavily using Claude and you get kicked out of Claude Code with reauthorization required… for me every time it has been server issues on anthropic side and the eve

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

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

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.

How to Fix Codex Sandbox Errors on Ubuntu 24.04

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 set

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 L

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 a

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.

The Mother-In-Law Method for Claude or ChatGPT

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”
