Not unglaublich

Such as? Provide the relevant context that you're referring to as suprising.
ftchd··on Show HN: Switcheroo – manage logins for 10 CLIs like Vercel, Codex etc.
Hi HN!

As many of you, I have multiple subscriptions to Claude and Codex. It's a daily occurrence for me to use 2-3 accounts for the same conversation. The point for me is to switch the account where the usage is taken from, not the configuration.

I made something simple & transparent named Switcheroo: https://github.com/FTCHD/switcheroo

Works with other AI CLIs like Gemini, and other various CLIs like Vercel (if you're managing multiple accounts like me), Netlify, Github etc

ftchd··on Show HN: ClaudeStatsBar: your session is 486k deep and nothing told you
You're the first person I see that only has Claude Code and a Browser installed, grats on the hygiene!

As a general rule, if I'm the user of both disks I expect to have the encryption key(s).

My two cents: the README should feel effortless to read and easy to skim. For something this straightforward, I’d ideally want to grasp the key points without having to scroll much. Once it starts feeling longer than it needs to be, I tend to lose interest and I think I'm not the only one.

I built something similar but as a tray/cli and not just for usage. You can switch the login of CLIs like Codex, Claude, Vercel (if you're managing multiple accounts) etc

Here's Switcheroo: https://github.com/FTCHD/switcheroo

ftchd··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Apple has started automating them a while ago so a lot of them are indeed <24 hrs. I wouldn't say they are wrong though.

Just this week I've had an app stay for 9 days in review and another one for 8 hours. Same dev account, same niche.

ftchd··on LittleSwitch, my personnal router for Claude/Codex (Desktop/CLI/Cowork) on macOS
This looks great, congrats. The 3d model didn't load for me the first time, and when it loaded it didn't "click" for me how it's related to the app. Looks polished tho!

After reading through a bit I think it's a bit too much for my needs.

I'm the sole user but have multiple subscriptions to Claude and Codex. It's fine for me to use 2-3 accounts for the same conversation. That's the point for me, to switch the account where the usage is taken from, not the configuration.

I made something way simpler named Switcheroo: https://github.com/FTCHD/switcheroo

Works with other AI CLIs like Gemini, and other various CLIs like Vercel (if you're managing multiple accounts like me), Netlify, Github etc

ftchd··on Dyson CameraJet: The only toothbrush with a camera and a jet
Hmm, they didn't go with CamJet..
ftchd··on Just the rumour of a bug is enough to find an exploit these days
> I was considering just merging the fixes straight to master just to make my life easier

I felt that. The problem with doing that is you hate yourself afterwards so not a good solution either, gotta do it properly.

Thanks for working on rclone, Nick!

ftchd··on How RCA Victor sold Sound Service to classrooms in 1939
This is the same post from 8 days ago from the same user. When you tap on the old er post it opens this one. Why is that?
ftchd··on Your 'app' could have been a webpage (so I fixed it for you)
Well...

Search right now in the App Store for "Morpho" and you'll find a "Morpho: Network" app. That app says it's some sort of TODO/Note taking app. It uses very broad language in the screenshots and assets from morpho.org (a decentralized protocol).

Once you open the app, it immediately downloads another bundle using OTA updates and shows an entirely different app where you "connect your wallet". You can imagine what happens next.

Isn't `claude` anthropic's CLI? :D
ftchd··on GPT-5.6-Sol just accidentally deleted almost ALL of my Mac's files
Someone recommended this in the replies: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/destructive_command_gua...

Any other must-have tools like this?

ftchd··on GPT-5.6
They reset all usage half an hour ago. It's back to 0% per week and session. No specifically Fable related.

ftchd··on Inkfield
the default effect reminds me of Vercel

don't know what to think about that

ftchd··on OpenPrinter
For some reason the 8 image grid only loads the first image, maybe there's no images to load?
ftchd··on Minimus container images are now free
Just a little bit of feedback: some items on the main page are duplicated, which could be confusing. For example, "nginx-advanced" appears as updated both 3 days ago and 2 hours ago.

If I have to choose between no PR and a "drive-by PR" where the author doesn't understand the changes to have a discussion, or isn't available to do changes and expects me to "take it from there", then I'd much rather go with "no PR" for the sake of everyone.
ftchd··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
So is Fable 5 so "good" that I barely noticed any difference when switching back to Opus 4.8, or is it because it's actually Fable 5 now?
ftchd··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Afaik, the EU hasn't done anything "with" or "to" Apple Intelligence. Apple just keeps shooting themselves in the foot intentionally and then blames the EU for it, writing paragraphs about how hurt they are while mentioning at the very end, in one sentence, that the same features are unavailable in China.

EU has forced Apple to use USB-C for everything earlier than they planned by a few years, and fined them for uncompetitive practices like the ones Epic Games shed light on in US courts.

ftchd··on OpenCV 5 Is Here: The Biggest Leap in Years for Computer Vision
> One practical detail is worth knowing. The new engine is CPU-only at the moment, so if you select a non-CPU backend and target (for example CUDA or OpenVINO through setPreferableBackend and setPreferableTarget), you will want the classic engine.

So there's room for even better performance!
