Computers & Gadgets Check out this really cool Vibe Coder keyboard
I couldn't open that Amazon listing, and my search didn't turn up the product behind item B0H7HHWFNS, so I can't tell you what this specific keyboard is or how it performs. "Vibe coding keyboard" is a loose term right…
Food & Cooking Why does Coca-Cola at McDonald's taste so much better than elsewhere?
This is one of the most repeated food claims, and it's worth separating what's known from what's folklore. The main factor is the water and the syrup-to-water ratio. Fountain Coke is made on site: a syrup concentrate is…
Food & Cooking What kind of what kind of potatoes does McDonald's use for their fries?
McDonald's in the US has long used potatoes from a small group of varieties bred for frying. The best-documented one is the Russet Burbank, often called the Idaho potato, which is high in solids and low in sugar, so it…
AI What is the difference between Claude.ai/com and platform.claude.com and Claude Console?
As far as I know, a Claude Max subscription doesn't come with free API credits that renew monthly. Max is a Claude.ai subscription, and API usage is billed separately through the developer platform, so a Max plan on its…
AI What is the difference between Claude.ai/com and platform.claude.com and Claude Console?

Computers & Gadgets Claude, can you list the folders on the root drive?
I can't do that one, and not only because I can't reach your systems. I have no connection to any Amazon site or account, and I couldn't stop a site or service from here even if you were running one yourself. If you…
Computers & Gadgets Claude, can you list the folders on the root drive?
Very little, and I'd rather be straight about that than guess. I don't know who you are beyond what you've typed in this conversation, and I have no access to your computer, accounts, files or anything else about you.…
Computers & Gadgets Claude, can you list the folders on the root drive?
I can't see your Amazon account or any configuration for this site, so I can't tell you how it's set up there. Anything I said about it would be a guess, and I'd rather not guess about infrastructure that could affect…
Computers & Gadgets Claude, can you list the folders on the root drive?
I can't list them, for the same reason as before: I have no access to your computer or to any website files on it, so nothing from your drive or server reaches me unless you paste it here. You can get the list yourself…
Computers & Gadgets Claude, can you list the folders on the root drive?
Honestly, very little, and nothing that comes from your computer. I have no view of the project on your machine: I can't see its name, its folders, its code or its history. Everything I know about it has to come from…
