  • So I took some time to look around and as far as my perspective as a non dev regular user. While this does seem like a useful tool that could be useful for someone who interacts with the command line on a infrequent basis, the drawbacks on it seem pretty big.

    1. Everywhere on their website seems clear that they don’t store your data, but I have trouble believing that? Why on earth they would need for you to create a account that you must log in to use the terminal if they don’t have a need to monitor your data?
    2. While they claim that they are intending to monetize this by charging enterprise users and letting small teams use it for free, they limit free requests to 20 per dday which seems less than useless.
    3. Maybe this is just some confusion since I don’t have any experience as an enterprise but it seems like it would be an unacceptable security risk having a program that it telling you that it sends telemetry back home that users are interacting with using sudo and elevated privileges. Especially when it is a closed box.

    Ignoring all the reasons to be cautious and skeptical about AI in general I struggle to see the use case for this particular tool.


  • So obviously this all isn’t very ideal but they actually made at least two mistakes here. That pipe is not rated for being outside and also Romex isn’t allowed to be used in wet areas such as underground. Only something like UF cable would be allowed to be ran buried like this.

    There’s two things that you can do here, the right way and easy way. The right way would be to rip the whole wire out and run it properly. The easier way would be to kill the outlet at the breaker, disconnect the wire from the outlet and to carefully remove the pipe and replace with a PVC pipe that won’t rust. Get one from the electrical aisle because those won’t degrade in the sun.
