A screenshot of GitHub Copilot models showing that Claude Opus 4.5 & 4.6 are now removed, and that the new Opus 4.7 model costs over twice as much as the old ones

Logged in today and both Opus 4.5 & 4.6 are gone, Opus 4.7 is set to an insane 7.5x token cost. They said it would be weeks for the older models to be retired but was just 4 days.

Kind of pissed at @github.com because there is no stability in models, cost, or even the service itself.

Hearing that major changes are coming to rate limits on GitHub Copilot this week for individual plans (and some on biz/enterprise too), opus models leaving the $20 plan, and potentially even token based billing some time in the future. Some account types might also be paused.

Make sure to watch the Part 2 video too. He has it unlisted, Link's in Part 1's description.

Patrick Muldoon Dead: 'Days Of Our Lives', 'Starship Troopers' Actor Patrick Muldoon, known for his roles in Day of Our Lives, Melrose Place & Starship Troopers, died suddenly April 19 following a heart attack. He was 57.

The timing of the universe is very weird at times... I just rewatched Starship Troopers yesterday. Always thought he absolutely nailed the role of Zander, was a perfect antagonist to Rico.

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Didn't BAFTA also not bleep out derogatory words during a recent pre-recorded awards ceremony?

Hey so y’all know how bluesky has been kinda broken today? Well I just got a notification from my passwords iOS app that my bsky password was compromised in a data leak 🙂

I don’t know enough about technology to know if these things are connected but, you know. Maybe change your password to be safe

I've got an old Marantz field recorder that died due to battery / capacitor leaks. The shell's cleaned out, was thinking of trying to reuse it for something similar... hmmm 🤔

Hey internet friends, I need some help: I have a family member who just applied the Windows April 2026 patch to his home business laptop and it forced a reboot and is demanding a bitlocker key.

The problem is: he didn't bitlocker his laptop. There's no key on his account online.

What can he do?

Star Trek: Resurgence is being removed from Steam. This is your last chance to buy the game (it's pretty awesome).

Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

I know a number of teenagers (friend's kids) and occasionally talk music and movies with them. They are WAY fucking into Massive Attack and many of the slower, more avant-garde artists of the 90s. This might feel like a Gen X throwback, but this could be HUGE with Gen A & Z.

Aren't those the oversized Lego blocks you give toddlers so they don't choke on the pieces?

I always thought quantum computers would be the real threat to networked systems but it looks like a combo of vibe coding & AI exploit detection will take the crown. I give it 3 months until IT teams start cutting hard lines and removing external APIs. Protection via denial.

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

An AI image of an orange turd cosplaying as Jesus Christ, pretending to lay on hands and care about someone else while sycophants idolize him.

As someone raised in a Catholic household I will never, ever EVER understand how people of that faith preaching this, are okay with all of this...

Ok, catching up on the Nine Inch Noize set from Coachella and yeah, that is pretty badass.

We thought we were living in a cyberpunk dystopia but this is actually straight from Warhammer 40K. The machine spirit must be appeased using the proper rituals. Blessings affixed with purity seals will keep the cogitator functioning.

Presumably, this Personal Jesus will enable you at every turn, compliment and encourage you, and tell you everything you need to hear.

Nope, can't see a problem with that. Absolutely fine.
