A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A man had a problem with his HP Omen gaming rig that he had lived with for years, because tracing it in the Event Viewer was too tedious to finish. Working with AI CLI, with AI allowed to run PowerShell to diagnose, the job was painless and the problem was resolved.
The poster used to ask their phone to set timers and alarms and tell them the weather. Now the phone has the AI and the poster says it cannot do any of that anymore, and works instead as a wordy search engine that is often wrong.
A man says the AI finished a hardware project he had started, working across three areas at once. The AI finished the firmware in Rust, changed some board parts and finalised the board design, sourced the parts that do not come with the board, and wrote all the documentation for the installer, and he judges the result good enough.
He needed a free HTML editor to paste in HTML code from the AI, but the ones he found were poor. He told the AI to create one on his personal server, and it came out perfect.
Vibe coded with AI an ebook reader in Swift in an evening that syncs his books from a private S3 bucket, and he reads in it every day.
The AI used rtl-sdr tools, wrote Python scripts to analyze signals, and built a SQLite database from FCC licensor data to identify and decode trunked voice channels.
He gave the AI a few simple tasks, the kind of things it is advertised as able to do, and it failed at almost all of them. It ended up costing him much more time than it would have saved.
He likes Goodreads but people without an account cannot see his books there. He told the AI about it, and the AI created a WordPress plugin and made a books page on his own site, thatsportsgamer.com/books/, that shows his books using the Goodreads RSS feed.
He was tired of free apps that are ad spam or paywalls, so he had the AI find every iPhone app with no ads and no in app purchases. The agent verified 149 apps and built them into a directory. Deals in it are checked daily and everything is rechecked weekly.
The AI built him a file manager app for the Amiga's Workbench system. He says it is genuinely useful and powerful, with the best parts of Windows Explorer and OSX Finder.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
