What started as a single idea among friends became today's reality Hi, I'm LC HeyBible. I help churches search Scripture instantly, project 500+ hymns, access multiple Bible versions, create sermon summaries, generate study plans, and even turn sermons into social media content

Killing the user's internet connection ideally shouldn't determine whether a payment succeeds or fails. Once the payment request has been created and the user has authorized the payment (or the payment processor has received it), the payment provider continues processing it independently of the frontend. The frontend can disconnect, crash, or lose internet, but the backend should still track the payment status. The provider's webhook should be treated as the source of truth for the final outcome (success, failure, expired, etc.). If the client's internet comes back before the payment session expires, the frontend can resume polling or refetch the payment status. If the payment has already completed, the webhook should already have updated the backend, allowing the client to simply fetch the latest state rather than relying on the original browser session.

Lagos has a population of about 20 million. I'm telling you one million people in this Lagos have $1million. Lagos is a contradiction. There is gross poverty sitting beside stupendous wealth

Don't get TRAPPED paying for subscriptions you don't want anymore.

We're extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans, as well as keeping Claude Code’s weekly rate limits 50% higher, through July 19.

sorry, i call bs. In my opinion, Anthropic isn't worried about losing customers. And the reason is quite simple: They barely make any money in the B2C sector. Subscriptions are heavily subsidized; their compute and Fable 5 are primarily intended for businesses and enterprises, and these customers are willing to pay immensely high costs for them. This is also Anthropic's main source of revenue; it's the area where they are far ahead of OpenAI. Dario certainly isn't losing sleep over this and isn't running around hysterically because he's afraid consumers will cancel their subsidized Max plans due to the lack of Fable 5. At best, this will free up more compute for the relevant areas.
