Gemini 2.5 Pro vs. Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Coding Comparison

Google just launched Gemini 2.5 Pro on March 26th, claiming to be the best in coding, reasoning and overall everything. But I mostly care about how the model compares against the best available coding model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet (thinking), released at the end of February, which I have been using, and it has been a great experience.

Let’s compare these two coding models and see if I need to change my favourite coding model or if Claude 3.7 still holds.

General Software Discussion / Re: Windows 11 Announced
« Last post by erikts on October 04, 2022, 01:34 AM »

Same here. There is a hot summer going on here in Paraguay and both my desktops started to turn themselves off as protection against heat. So I was forced to use my laptop, which runs: Pop!_OS (v20.04 (LTS or nothing!))


I use LXLE (32 bit) on my aging Eee PC 1000H, it is sufficient for may use case (word processing, text editing, light spreadsheet, browsing, MP3, reading ebook).
At work, I use Windows 11 (+ Explorer Patcher) but I prefer Windows 10 if allowed.

Living Room / Re: No living room, ironically
« Last post by erikts on August 29, 2022, 11:41 PM »
Yay!!  After 9 1/2 years of living outside in the Greater Miami Area(tm) I got the robot phone call that the furniture for my new one bedroom apartment will be delivered and assembled tomorrow.  Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, but no living room.   ;D

I don't know yet exactly what my expenses will be.  But I hope I will have enough left over to get WiFi so I can justify getting a Windows 11 Laptop to use at the kitchen table.   8) 8)

Congratulations  :Thmbsup:

Can you see the orange and yellow flowers in all this green?


Yes. That's a lot of empty space. (I live in Java island)

Try the following link --
https://winaero.com/blog/desktop-shortcut-store-app-windows-10/

After opening up a Special Hidden Applications folder, you create a Shortcut for each Application you want to search for in a place that FARR would search, such as your desktop.

I too hope that Mouser will be able to help with this problem.

This works for me. Thanks.

Try checking the settings of OneDrive. I seem to recall that stealing print-screen functionality away from Screenshot Captor.

Remove or change the APN names if you can.

Probably won't stop the requests but it will stop connections to mobile data.

Disable Mobile Data?
