Hey folks! As i had a youtube premium family membership, that was recently raised (Apple iOS), to approx 320 TRY, and my subscription couldnt get extended, im a bit worrying about current ways to get it for a smilar price. Unfortunately the iOS Method isnt working for me anymore (at least from another device in that account), so i need a work arround. What options do i have? Is there a way that is legitimatly working? We have a family group account of 6.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I meant Youtube Premium (Family), not Spotify.

TL;DR: Which is better for my use case, ChatGPT Pro or Claude Max? I know asking in a ChatGPT subreddit might give me some biased opinions. (consulting industry, experienced professional, Europe / Germany)

Hey! I’m currently applying for jobs in management consultancy. I’m a professional with around 15 years of work experience, so I’m not a recent graduate.

I recently used ChatGPT Pro with my ChatGPT Business subscription and enjoyed it a lot. ChatGPT 5.5 Pro Extended Thinking helped me craft application documents of a very high standard.
The output was excellent and got me a few interviews. It's important to mention, though, that I provided a lot of information and well-structured prompts to guide ChatGPT through those specific tasks.

Main tasks:
- Research and job posting scraping
- Creation of CV, cover letter and additional documents if needed
- Assistance with job interview preparation as well as case studies
- Other tasks or questions relevant to this broad topic.

I also used the Business Seats to use codex for my hobby projects (AI use cases).

Now, as the ChatGPT Pro Chats are capped fast for the Business Subscription, I would like to use the Pro Subscription.

As I was struggling between the 100$ and 200$ Plan, today I also thought about Claude.
I’m not sure how good Claude Max is with those kind of tasks and if it’s able to deliver very well structured documents, with a German academic wording (with B2B consulting focus).

So, what would you recommend me?

ChatGPT Pro 100$ , 200$ - Claude Max 5x / 20x

Thank you.

Hey! I noticed that the quality of my Codex GPT 5.5xHigh was sometimes extremely poor (even comparable to GPT 5.5Medium).

As I perform repetitive tasks during peak times (from an EU perspective) and at night, I have noticed that the behaviour and the amount of cached tokens fluctuate significantly.

I have a strange hypothesis. Is it possible that some of us who get poor performance results have a strange skill or tampered directory — perhaps MCP - that routes traffic through a cheap model? With bad intention?

I don't want to point the finger, so I'm not accusing anyone.
I noticed very strange behavior while using the /goal feature.

Not want to blame anyone, just asking if that could be something that made codex so bad in the last days, especially as there is still the 5x 10x (for 100$ plan), and 20x 25x (for the 200$ plan, on the 5 hour limit)

Let me know your thoughts

Hey, guys! Apparently, I'm also in the Agentic AI game.
Having realised that OpenClaw is not a money machine, I came up with the following idea:

While I am in my mid-30s and still have career ambitions, I would like to focus more on my job and getting promoted. Meanwhile, OpenClaw can lay the groundwork.

In my specific situation, I would like to give my OpenClaw access to Tinder and at least three to five more dating platforms that can be used with subagents.

Main tasks: Initial dating approach, flirting, and other methods to secure high-potential matches on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp: This should also be automated. OpenClaw, or possibly He***, which has a better memory management system, can then build rapport with the woman and establish a strong connection.

I would synthesise my voice with Elevenlabs so that my claw can also send voicemails.

- Bi-weekly status updates, created with simple cron jobs, would then update my calendar with the relevant information.

OpenClaw could also prepare dates and provide briefings, analyses, etc.

Theoretically, it could also analyse whether it is time to "take the next step".

If something is planned for a date, it could buy things for me or gifts for the woman.

Meanwhile, I could use the time and energy saved to build a strong career and pay for the API costs.

What do you guys think?

Hey everyone,
I urgently need help with HP BIOS recovery.
Device:
HP OMEN Gaming Laptop 16-wf0777ng
Product number: 87C80EA#ABD
CPU: Intel i7-13700HX
GPU: RTX 4080 Laptop
System Board ID from old BIOS photo: 8BAC
BIOS revision before failure: F.29
BIOS vendor: Insyde
Problem:
The laptop no longer boots. It shows “BIOS corruption has been detected”.
With Win+B or Win+V:
USB stick is detected
HP BIOS recovery screen appears
countdown/timer starts
after about 20 seconds, before the flashing-block stage appears, the screen goes black, fan ramps up, and the laptop reboots
it loops back to the same BIOS recovery screen
Important detail:
I previously tried extracted BIOS files named 08BAA.bin / 08BAA.sig, but I found an old BIOS photo showing my actual System Board ID is 8BAC. So I likely need the 08BAC recovery payload, not 08BAA.
Official HP SoftPaqs:
F.29 Rev.A: sp166103.exe
F.30 Rev.A: sp172711.exe
What I need:
Can someone with a Windows PC please run/extract these HP SoftPaqs and check whether they contain files for BIOS ID 08BAC?
I am looking for files like:
08BAC.bin
08BAC.sig
08BACME0.bin / .sig / .s12
08BACPD0.bin / .sig / .s12
08BACTB0.bin / .sig / .s12
Also useful:
exact USB folder structure created by HP’s BIOS recovery USB tool
whether HP places files in Current, New, Previous, BIOSUpdate, or EFI/HP paths
whether F.29 recovery may be blocked after attempted F.30 update
What I already tried:
FAT32 USB
Win+B and Win+V
folders:
Hewlett-Packard/BIOS/Current
Hewlett-Packard/BIOS/New
Hewlett-Packard/BIOS/Previous
EFI/HP/BIOS/Current
EFI/HP/BIOS/New
EFI/HP/BIOS/Previous
CMOS/power reset
battery disconnected
NVMe removed
RAM reseated
Please do not send random BIOS dumps. I need files extracted from the official HP SoftPaqs for System Board ID 8BAC, ideally F.29 first, then F.30 if F.29 is blocked.
This is my main device and I’m stuck with only a phone right now, so any help extracting the correct 08BAC recovery files would be hugely appreciated.

Hey!

I would like to get your input on the capabilities of the Deepseek v4 Pro and Deepseek v4 Flash to provide German, French and Spanish texts/translations.

I would also like to ask how strong the visual capabilities are for those flagship models of Deepseek, e.g. PDF design, content design, layout, etc.

What is your experience? Are there Statistics or similar that compare Deepseek against other Models?(Gpt, Claude etc.)?

Thanks!

Yeah you hear me. The initial idea was to save tokens - at least from what I heard, caveman is a great skill for that.

What actually happened is, that Codex somehow became arrogant, writing things like:

OpenRouter models can do the sh**-work, I will keep managing them.

Any experience?

Hey, I was just wondering how you guys manage to run Hermes totally autonomously. What I mean is actually quite simple:

Give Hermes (or any other agentic AI) a set of tasks, tell it to complete them, and if the larger task is completed properly, create follow-ups, start working on them and conduct research.

The first time I used Hermes with Codex, I asked it what it was currently working on. Codex/Hermes replied, 'Nothing'.
I was a little surprised, as I thought it had been working on something all the time.
It was certainly chatty and used a lot of tokens, but is it possible to have, for example, Codex via OAuth, an OpenRouter API key and a local LLM with Qwen 3.6 27B, and let it run independently?
I remember Codex replying that this is not how Hermes works; it works on the basis of cron jobs.
But assuming this is true, where is the autonomous, agentic 'magic' behind it?

Thanks in advance!
