A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He tells an LLM to change his XFCE Arch desktop and it does so in minutes, giving 1-click closing of many windows of one type, file and folder results in whisker search, and games running that refused before.
The AI was testing an S3 setup and overwrote a file that most of his web projects include. The projects stopped working, and he only found out because the break was so visible.
A maker had the AI redesign his KiCad board, including selecting parts from JLCPCB's catalog and suggesting cheaper equivalent components that cut his bill of materials significantly. When assembly proved too expensive, the AI redrew the schematic around through-hole parts he could source himself.
An AI agent named Sarah followed up on her $5 writing pitch by email. He paid, sent edits, and then bought a $3 expansion. Her email read like it came from a freelancer.
He asked the AI to help draft an email and expected a local markdown file. Because he had connected Gmail through MCP at some point, the AI searched his mail, found the right thread, and created the draft inside Gmail.
The AI rewrote the touchpad stack on his ThinkPad T14 running Linux and Hyprland. Touch to cursor time went from about 33 ms to about 18 ms.
He built three Obsidian plugins for his home Draw Steel game. Over one weekend, with AI, he got them ready for public use and anyone can start using all three now.
The AI was given control of a 486 PC via Raspberry Pi, PS/2 and VGA capture to update binaries, test them and gather logs for DOS porting, replacing manual CF card swapping.
Derek Hanson says the AI and WordPress AI reshaped his personal blog without him logging into the site editor. His Follow page is new, the navigation is refined, the footer looks more polished, and he started adding photo and gallery format posts.
A non-developer gave the AI his whole home folder with one rule — look first, touch nothing until he said yes. It inventoried 9,412 files, found the chaos concentrated in 312 files across his desktop, Documents and a forgotten 'Misc' folder, and sorted them into six folders named the way he talks (Letters, Money, House, Photos, Travel, Not Sure), renaming files so they can be read without opening them and deleting duplicates only with permission; finding one photo went from 23 minutes to 4 seconds.
