Hello,
I have a bunch of recycled laptops from a school. I heard there is a way to remove the back plate, connect a device and flash the motherboard to completely remove the EFI lock WITHOUT needing to replace/solder anything.
Is this true? Or is chatgpt lying again.
Here is something I think I found.
Also, it is removable, what about the MDM lock?
Thank you!
Me: Hey, look at this incredibly detailed, beautiful rebranding and luxury pricing strategy I just spent 4 hours creating for my ecommerce biz i been running for 5 years!
Gemini: Absolutely smartest idea ever!
ChatGPT (knows me better than my right hand + strict guardrails I added to stop me from dopamin seeking behaviors): "This is a classic dopamine-seeking avoidance tactic because you don't want to send cold emails for your primary software business. You are hiding in Shopify."
Gemini (noob, new guy i use to avoid ChatGPT guardrails and dopamine seek): "Honestly? Your other AI just caught you red-handed. Close the tab."
damn.... maybe i need to stop asking AI for validation
Is it even worth learning/using any of the background agent stuff, etc?
I have been using cursor daily for about 1.5 years now and still use it just like I have used it back then.
Am I missing out on more effecient workflows?
Anyone here switch from Adderall to Vyvanse?
I've been off Adderall for about 3 months, and wow ADHD is NOT a super power like I thought...
The BAD
The Good
At the same time, my wife and I just had our first baby a month ago, so I'm sure some of this is also sleep deprivation, stress, and adjusting to becoming a parent. I've even felt some grief for my old life and freedom, which I know is normal, but it definitely messes with your head.
One thing I didn't love about Adderall was that I'm a lifelong night owl. It became way too easy to take it late, stay up all night, and convince myself I'd "fix it tomorrow" by taking my morning dose early. Rinse and repeat.
I'm hoping Vyvanse's once-a-day setup helps me regulate myself a bit better. I'm also planning to start CBT/coaching/therapy so I can actually build systems and habits instead of relying on medication alone.
For those who've made the switch:
Would love to hear your experiences.
coding workflow is asking ChatGPT for a Cursor prompt, then making it write a plan first, then skimming the plan, then changing the entire idea before you ever open Cursor. Wait, let me check what claude thinks with Opus. Perfect, but the US giv banned Fable and it could be a marketing stunt by claude, let me paste into Gemini with context of previous chat.
what was i even making? oh yeah a reddit post
ONE OF US
I use Cursor almost every day for the last ~2 years and I’ve built some pretty advanced workflows, apps, scrapers, dashboards, websites, and automations with AI.
The problem is, I still feel behind.
Not because I can’t build. I can build way more than I used to.
The problem is that AI has created this constant feeling that there’s some obvious money-making opportunity I’m missing. Every day there’s a new tool, new agent framework, new automation idea, new SaaS idea, new “AI agency” angle, and new person claiming they made money with something simple.
It creates this weird pressure where even when I’m building useful things, I feel like I’m building the wrong thing and that my possible ROI is diminishing day by day.
I’m trying to figure out the difference between:
For those of you who use AI heavily and have actually turned it into income, what was the turning point?
Did you stop chasing product ideas and start doing client work?
Did you niche down hard?
Did you build around a problem you already understood?
Did you ignore SaaS entirely at first?
I’d especially like to hear from people who felt overwhelmed despite using AI daily.
How did you get focused?
