Hi all — lucky timing on my end: my area (Philly suburbs) had a brief window of stock at Apple Stores, so last week I was able to grab a Mac Studio (M3 Ultra/96/1TB) and a refurbished Mac Mini (M4 / 24GB / 1TB) for myself that I have specific plans for. That leaves me with three Macs I've been using for OpenClaw/Hermes that I no longer need and could reclaim my desk if I get rid of. I know I could get more flipping these on eBay, but I'd rather sell to someone in this community who's been held back by the shortage and the crazy eBay prices. All three are in perfect working condition — can be picked up locally, or I can ship them domestically in their original boxes. - SOLD @John Leon Mac Mini M2 (8/256) — $300 + shipping. I'm the original owner. Originally used as a home theater server (now moved to Synology). This was my first machine for testing OpenClaw before I got hooked. - SOLD - SOLD - Mac Mini M4 (16/256) — $635 + shipping (The price I paid including PA taxes; still ~30 days to add AppleCare). Bought this before I found the 24GB/1TB version and don't need both. - SOLD - Mac Studio M1 Max (32/512) — $1,300 (what I paid picking it up locally on Facebook from a photographer I know). Been using it for about 3 weeks with zero issues. I bought this to run a local LLM — this one can run around 27B Q4 if you dedicate the machine to it. If you're serious and one of these would help you get started, just DM me. I want to pass these along to someone who'll put it to good use rather than flip for a quick $.

X.com post shares info about more Anthropic fun. Fun fact - if you have a recent commit that mentions OpenClaw in a json blob, Claude Code will either refuse your request or bill you extra money. This is an empty repo, I'm just calling Claude Code directly. Insanity. https://x.com/alamosaravali/status/2049663967220437062 Other X.com responses on it: whaaaat?! @grok are there any piece in claude code terms that allow them to legally do it? Grok @grok · 14h Yeah, Anthropic's Consumer Terms of Service (section on automated access and third-party harnesses) explicitly restrict using subscription limits with tools like OpenClaw. As of early April, they enforce it by routing those calls to separate "extra usage" billing at API rates instead of your plan quota. It's all spelled out in their policy updates. @grok so if the user wants to contribute to OpenClaw repo even not using OpenClaw at all, they're not allowed to use Claude Code? ie. a Claude Code subscriber willing to contribute to OpenClaw or Herms repo, are they forced to use other solution? Grok @grok · 1h Yes, in practice that's what happens right now. Claude Code scans context (including recent commits/files) for OpenClaw/Herms references and routes those sessions to extra usage billing instead of your subscription quota. Even pure contribution work without running the tool triggers it, as your screenshot demo shows. Subscribers are effectively forced to use another model, pay the separate extra-usage rate, or switch to the API key path for any OpenClaw-related coding. Anthropic's policy treats it as non-standard/automated harness usage.

is there a way I can add the skool classroom schedule to my gmail calendar?

openclaw 4.24 breaks antropic cli setup seen it with 5 client plus myself ... dont upgrade if u are using cli setup . it will break it immeidelh

the openclaw api bill just went back to zero for me lol, was paying $1500 this month remember three weeks ago when anthropic said no more subscriptions for third party tools. everybody wrote their hot take. i moved my pipeline to the openai api to cut losses. turns out that story was half right. what anthropic actually banned was openclaw harnesses pulling your oauth token out of claude code and calling the anthropic api directly while pretending to be claude code. fair. that was legitimately bad behavior. but there is a second pattern they did not ban. shelling out to the claude cli itself with dash p. claude code runs the request. claude code handles auth. claude code does the caching. openclaw is just calling the binary. anthropic staff confirmed to the openclaw team that one is still sanctioned. openclaw treats it as official green light unless they publish a new policy. i flipped my main session to it this afternoon. one line in openclaw.json. set provider to claude-cli and mode to oauth. my opus 4.7 sessions are now running through my max subscription instead of the api. no per token bill on the main session. catch: your subscription cap is still real. pro has one, max has one. i hit my 5 hour cap two days ago when the rza cron tried to write a script through it. blew right through my usage window in the middle of the day. the fix was simple. only the main session touches claude oauth. every cron, every coding task, every background job goes to gpt 5.4 on the openai api. that keeps the claude cap for thinking and planning, not bulk content generation. if you dont have claude max, the same pattern works elsewhere. glm coding plan starts at 10 a month, qwen around 28, minimax at 10 for the starter tier. run a local cli, subscription handles the billing, no per token bleed. if your using claude code in your .openclaw workspace folder just tell claude to wire it up for you full video on this drops in 1 hour on yt.
