MacroDroid just added AI queries OMGGGG! There goes another few hours of my life trying to automate things that probably didn't need to be automated (but will be very cool) haha

I still don't use MCPs for anything... Am I missing out? It feels like a protocol looking for a problem right now. What's the killer use case I'm overlooking?

I've just updated my BIOS for the first time, and the experience highlighted just how much AI is transforming technical workflows. Usually, a BIOS update involves a fair bit of friction—identifying the exact motherboard revision, sourcing the correct firmware, and carefully managing security features like BitLocker to avoid getting locked out. Using AI as a co-pilot, I was able to navigate the entire process in just 15 minutes. It guided me through temporarily disabling BitLocker via PowerShell, verified the update steps, and ensured a smooth reboot with zero data loss. It's impressive how accessible complex hardware maintenance has become. What used to be a nerve-wracking task is now a streamlined process thanks to the right tools.

University isn't just about the degree. It's about the network, the discounts, and learning how to learn. Everything else is a bonus (or at least should be).
