I have an older Cursor account with the 500-request-based plan.

Currently, I use Opus 4.6 non-thinking for pretty much everything until I hit my quota around the 25th of the month. After that, I switch to whatever models are available to me in the slow pool. It used to be Sonnet 4.5 Thinking, but now it looks like Gemini 3.6/3.7 Flash is also available.

I'm considering whether it's worth changing my setup. I'm currently deciding between paying $20 for Claude Code or $20 for Cursor.

My current workflow is mainly using Claude Code with Sonnet 5 as both a planner and builder, and then switching to Cursor when I hit my Claude Code limits.

However, I'm starting to notice the limitations of Opus 4.6. It's still a great model, but I'm wondering whether my old 500-request Cursor plan is still the better option, especially if I pair it with a Claude or Codex subscription (I'm probably moving to Codex).

So what I'm mainly trying to figure out is:

Would I be better off keeping my old 500-request Cursor plan and pairing it with a Claude/Codex subscription, or switching to a newer Cursor plan with access to the newer models?

I'm particularly interested in which setup would give me the best overall coding experience and the most useful model access for the money.

thought to repost my portfolio here since my post in algerian facebook dev groups my post was not allowed in

https://kermout-ayoub.dev/

its a retro os style website, made using qwik, qwik-design-system, tailwind
as you can guess it works better on desktop, haven't decided yet if i should remake the mobile part to be an android clone instead

everything you see in the website is interactive (except battery icon) and has os like elements
window snapping works,window management works, updates, task bar window management, shortcuts (use SHIFT+?),
each aspect of the portfolio is a os "application"
the terminal is interactive according to the supported commands, i invite you guys to try it especially to remove french fries command :)
you can shut down the website, restart it, there's an achievement system in place, there's eastereggs everywhere, there's an interactive cat as well who you can pet (click once) and make it follow you around (click twice)
try to double click the clock widget as well
there's a settings menu with customization to the look and design
and an even more retro look there too
there's a working start menu
oh and dark + light mode too!

no special library was used to achieve this, it's almost all javascript event handlers, qwik did help alot with having them be available directly on the components and pages as props instead of needing to register and remove them myself

Where would I find a place that rents camera equipment?

Camera + lens + stabilizer?

i tried disabling steam input, enabling them, removing my mouse and keyboard
issue is double input, each button is pressed twice somehow, i only have one controller connected

as title says, i need a decent intel core ultra 7 258v or 268v laptop
my criteria is battery life and especially good screen, keyboard, build quality and maybe decent speakers but this one is the least important
i've looked into a couple models like zenbook s14, thinkpad x9, this two are the most fitting
found a x9 but the usage on it with the battery percentage degradation was sketchy
, no s14, found a single s16 ryzen edition but from what i found from reviews, it gets very hot
im open to other suggestions, my budget is 25million for now but its flexible
if you guys know any store i can find a decent model like this i would appreciate it

thank you

i tried changing to the last version 3.3 but they are stil being triggered?
i dont want them because not only are they a waste of credits, but they also cause confusion for me as i dont want to track two agents at the same time, i need to see what they are doing

currently using my isp provided modem huawei HG8145X6-10 for wifi, i was first thinking of getting those firewall appliance mini pcs but then stumbled upon the beryl 7, my main question is, is it a good access point ? is the wifi good? and how much control do i have with it? and mainly is it a worthy upgrade over the huawei
