Canon PRO-4600 cost per print?

I have a Canon PRO-4600 44" LFP I bought and never really used. I know ink is crazy expensive and a pain.

My gf does a lot of banner making and I suggested she use this to make outlines to help her, currently she uses a projector and traces from the wall.

I don't want to waste a few bucks every print just for a couple lines on 24/36" paper.

I recall this thing burning a ton of ink every time it turns on and she only does like 1 a week.

Best project management software

Me and my team are running a bunch of AI projects and our entire infrastructure has changed with AI and we're getting way out of sync. We run gitlab for CI/CD but have tried to use Jira, Azure devops and other platforms but can't really get it to work in this new AI platform.

The problem is we're running 100 active projects and many times we're waiting on Claude which can take hours or fill an entire workday. We're also working multiple projects at a time and its hard to know the status and if its blocked by an employee or Claude or just forgot.

Another issue is proper conversation storing from CC and ability to review and manage what its all doing. Claude makes various changes that are outside the specific scope but necessary and then it kicks off another user's task. It could close a security gap that's exposed on purpose because its properly required during testing, or fix an issue that we have a card open and then we have a dev wasting hours trying to reproduce the issue.

Its not abnormal to have 3 devs running CC on the same codebase and merging. Many with different scopes and prompts for CC so they get different results.

Then when we have a dev switch computers or something we have a huge issue with getting them back to the same quality of prompting and scope from before.

We're currently on Max subscriptions and some in a team. I think team doesn't have x20 so we have it split. I'm sure enterprise API with a custom harness would solve this but we'd be spending 100k/month in API tokens.

All we really need is for CC to work with a project management software to understand its tasks and scope then know exactly what card its on and what to work on, then when we pull other cards it knows to change scope. Then take that entire history and upload it to the card so we have full visibility. Ideally with additional metrics on token usage, hours spent and how many prompts the user used. Basically the same metrics we'd get from a normal dev

How to get CC to remember long term?

I get we only have 1M context but isnt compact supposed to pull import information? Is there any other thing I can do to have it remember important information?

​

Say I'm building an app and want a dedicated session to manage the UI and only UI. It seems after a bit it'll forget the color schemes and design and even the scope, it'll try changing database info or even leach into other projects.

​

Is there anything I can do to prevent this and ensure it says in scope and remembers things? Is there specific software or items I can use to build a memory or anything else to force it to stick and remember everything

Small screen for in wall control?

I need the best small screen that uses low power 12v. Its for an RV and need high quality or something that isn't outrageously bright. I know lots of cheap screens leak light or look cheap.

​

I need about 5 of these and in different sizes. Some 1.5"x5" or similar. As I have a hole for that. Also something larger. Then maybe 5" or 7" or similar.

​

I'm thinking esp32 makes most sense power wise but not sure if anything is better. I don't mind spending a couple hundred each.

​

They'll all be just for a few buttons. I'm wondering if there's any oled screens that are true black, it'll be really nice to have cool screensavers.

New desk setup ideas?

Forgive the messy photos. I've had my office for a while and need to make a change. Any ideas on how to redesign it? The office is like 20x15. I wish I could put a 3rd monitor but can't seem to get one to fit/

I have like 10k or so to spend and need it to be techy but not gamer kid if that makes sense.

These are all cheap ikea desks I bought to help design the place and ended up keeping them

I have tons of wood any idea how to sell in bulk?

I ended up buying tons of wood from an auction about some company going out of business. The idea was to build desks and tables and such for my offices. I found out I'm very allergic to wood so its just been sitting in my warehouse. Almost everything is like 2" thick and perfect for tables and everything. Lots are 15ft+ even. For reference this is a 60ft deep garage.

I'd like to sell it all or at least a huge chunk. Any ideas?

When will we start seeing enterprise GPUs for sale?

Typically corporations buy 1 year old hardware and lease it for around 3 years then refresh. We then see floods of 5 year old servers and networking gear and everything on ebay and other marketplaces.

But it doesn't seem like anyone's giving up their H100's or other hardware and there aren't any signs of it. Is this because the GPU shortages or because AI is clustered so they're able to use old GPUs for inference/training and other things. A B300 is like 4x as efficient as a H100.

Do we think these companies will hold onto their GPUs forever or if the shortage ends will we start seeing a massive selloff of this hardware?

Personally I see in 5-7 years the entire AI GPU market will completely flip with some new technology, similar to how ASICs took over crypto mining. We're already seeing these specialized 800v racks fully designed for AI use and I think in a few years we'll see complete systems that look nothing like traditional rack mounted systems. There's no need for traditional racks and 4U servers when they're installing 10,000 of these in a dedicated datacenter.

Any way to change dishs?

I have a v4 standard on top of my RV and I always seem to park under a tree. I also rarely use my RV and it sits in a garage.

I'd love to buy a 2nd dish (like the mini) and easily swap from one to the other. This way I can use it as home as a backup or pull it out of a cabinet in the RV instead of having to get on the roof.

But it seems I need 2 subscriptions for 2 dishes even though I only need 1 like 1-2 days a month.

just shy of superhost and have until 7/1 to fix it?

I have 4.7 of 4.8 stars and 8 of 10 stays. I have both houses booked basically every weekend this month and lots of other bookings, Its seasonal rentals and this is the first time I haven't kept superhost status.

I know I'll get the stays fine but I keep getting 4 stars and every post is super good but I get a 3 on value and like a 4 on accuracy or location. Maybe 1 or 2 have a 4 on cleanliness.

One house has 37 reviews other has 24 reviews, all of them is raving about the place. There is only 1 review that we've ever had that was negative and was 3 stars because there was a water ring IN THE SINK.

What's crazy is I'm looking through these 4 star reviews and many of them are repeat guests that come every year.

One thing is we're in a small town in the mountains, its very dirty. We have the entire properties power washed twice a year and do all kinds of things to keep it clean but we'll do a massive clean then the next day there's pollen everywhere or whatever. Also they're very special and unique homes. We block off homecoming and prom every year and open it up to residents because so many people want to take photos there. One of the homes was the city founders home that they built it then built the little city around the home, its literally the city center.

Is there anything I can do or say to guests to make sure they give us 5 stars and let them know it makes a huge issue if only 4 stars??

I think people don't like that we charge a lot but one is 11bdrm for $700/night. When we bought it they were charging $140/room for 8 rooms, while living in the other 3, and making twice what I do.

Am I doing it wrong? Is it possible to get Hermes to monitor something, run AI then let me know if its important?

I get tons of emails and alerts and notifications from like 100 systems. One of my main goals is to group all these systems into 5-10 agents then have AI process the alerts and let me know if its important or not. Also help determine if they keep reoccuring or any trends or anything.

Say its temp sensors. I don't need to know everytime the temp changes but want to know when its above a certain temp or if there's some trend (like door open sensor causes temps to raise).

The goal is to kinda have these 10 agents report up to a master agent/judge/assistant who packages them up in a daily report or double checks the agents work. If there's a major issue the agent tells me.

also I'd want to work directly with that agent to fine tune what they should be reporting or not. But if there is an issue I'd want to work with them to review everything but not affect the main reporting.

Ideally this would all work like an office, where we'd have entry people working on issues then escalating to smarter people then telling the boss's assistant only what's important, but telling the boss directly if an emergency.

Even take it further to have a right hand man type agent to bounce ideas off and help manage everything.

I've tried multiple times to get hermes setup like this and tried a few different AI agents but kept falling short. I'm comfortable paying hundreds a month in various AI API tokens to get this working and having tiered models based on type.

I kept having issues with hivemind where they work on each others tasks or messed everything up or something else unreliable and just wasted a ton of time.

Lvp for RV, can I use rigid and glue it down?

I'm redoing my RV flooring. It's a Prevost xl2 40ft. The thing is the floor isn't perfectly flat and there's some issues with it being soft from water damage and such.

It has glued flexible LVP currently and there's some waves and bubbles and such.

Height is a major concern as I only have a very small gap between the floor and the slides so can't do much.

I'm thinking I'll rip the old flooring up, use something to fix the dents and such then glue rigid LVP, I think the snap type.

Is this ideal? Any other ideas or tips? Any idea on what type or model to get?

There's always possible leaks and water standing from slides coming in or muddy feet. We also use it a lot for festivals and tailgates with possibly heavy traffic of people coming and going.

Dual WAN bonding or better redundancy?

I remember Unifi releasing wan magic but it doesn't seem they ever actually built it.

I run an RV with Starlink and dual 5G business devices (T-mobile and VZW), Not the new unifi 5g devices, so 3 WAN ethernets. On UCG-ultra. On the road service can be very sketchy and when camping its usually barely any cell service, also almost always seem to be parked under a tree.

We have load balancing and failover but I don't think either of these do WAN bonding do they? I have 4 other unifi devices at my homes and offices so I can run bonding at other spots if needed.

I switched from a peplink with bonding which was awesome for bonding but I really don't an extra device in WAN

Is there any options I'm missing to better bond these together or optimize to ensure most solid/stable connections in any condition?

Diesel or DC water heater?

I'm wanting a tankless or small tank water heater.

Any decent reliable diesel water heaters? or is Espar/Webasto the only real option?

I know electric uses a ton of electricity and I only have 10kw/240v inverters which is a little small so wondering if there's any decent electric 48c tankless systems?

I like long hot showers so figured tankless is best, but maybe a small 2-5 gallon one with the diesel as a loop is more stable

I built some tech tools and need help on how to best apply

I run 2 airbnbs in the same city. They're massive and high quality (ones 11bdrm). They're in a rural area and most competitors are small houses that rent for half or less. Seems some bought into the bubble and now really struggling.

So I built a tool that checks all the competitors pricing and availability. Since it's only a couple dozen it's small enough I can check them multiple times a day. I'm just not sure what to do with this info. I figured if others book up I should raise prices but not too sure about anything else.

I've also integrated a bunch of home automations and about to add more. Most of my rentals are weekend large groups, thurs-sunday 15-20 people.

I currently manage HVAC, water heater, smoke detectors and locks. Is there anything else I should add? I'm thinking leak definitely and maybe humidity.
