    How do you use Ox Alpha with Claude Code?

    For the past few days, info about Ox Alpha has been circulating on Twitter, and nobody knows where it came from. After some digging, users concluded that the model behind Ox Alpha comes from Zhipu. I tried Zhipu (z.ai) thanks to their offer of 3M free tokens for the first 5 days, and I find it quite effective, but slow. I think Zhipu is desperate to attract more users because they offered 100M tokens to new users (I didn’t get them, since I was late). Ox Alpha is even slower, but at least it’s free. To do this, you need to sign up on Open Router, and generate an API…

    Cardboard box as checked luggage with Air France?

    When flying to settle in Tahiti, I wanted to bring the large 27″ computer monitor I had bought a few months earlier. I still had the original box, which ensured good protection. The box measured 81 x 51 x 21 cm. On the Air France website, it states that checked luggage can measure up to 158 cm (height + length + width). In my case, that’s 81 + 51 + 21 cm = 153 cm. Normally, it fits, with 5 cm to spare! Since I couldn’t find any specific mention of cardboard boxes vs. regular suitcases, I was still a bit worried, and I had no desire to find out…

    How to replace a shower door seal?

    If there’s one thing I regret, it’s taking months to replace a shower door seal. I thought I’d need to call a plumber, but it’s much easier than I expected—I managed to do it myself. For this, you’ll need: Then, follow the steps in this video: All in all, it took me 10 minutes. I should’ve done it sooner.

    [SCAM] Binance: Beware of fake calls

    There seems to be a big wave of fake Binance advisor scam attempts. I got a call today, and two of my three brothers were also contacted in recent days, so it seems massive. These two phone numbers are affected, but there are surely many others: 0568143873 , and 0187681322. Update as of November 4, 2025. Another call: 0187681632. Somehow, all or part of Binance’s customer database is out there and is being exploited by scammers. You hear every week about new “data leaks” from large companies or administrations. It’s not so much the data loss that’s critical, but the scam attempts that follow. This example with Binance is a…

    Fixing the broken tip of reMarkable 2 pens (Marker and Marker Plus)

    I know broken tips are quite common with reMarkable pens. If you’ve broken yours and bought it less than 3 years ago, contact the reMarkable team and they’ll replace it for free. I broke mine and tried to replace it with a 3D-printed cap I bought on Etsy (the yellow one in the photo), but it was so bulky that the pen wouldn’t attach magnetically to the tablet and kept falling off, and I ended up losing that cap too. Eventually, I managed to make a replacement tip using Fimo air-dry clay (link). Here’s how I did it: you sculpt the clay around a new tip (the black end) to…

    Jadia Skin Review: False Advertising – Turmeric Cosmetics

    A follower sent me a screenshot of a Jadia ad for their turmeric mask, and surprise! They illegally used my photo before/after published here even though I’ve never used their product in my life!! They obviously never asked for my opinion or consent. Using my photo to illustrate an article, why not, but using it to prove the effectiveness of their product, which I’ve never used, in an advertisement, I’m speechless!!! It says a lot about how serious this company is. Plus, my before/after photo shows progress over 6 months. Getting that result in 7 days is simply impossible because skin has a minimum 28-day cycle. The ad is false…
