    Story! In ’07, I wanted my first laptop to be a MacBook Pro. My dad worked at IBM so would only get a ThinkPad. I had to make $3k, somehow.

    That’s how my career started. The “want” for a MacBook Pro got me into this field and a decade later, lead to where I am today 😇 /end

    Wrote some scripts and eventually figured it out & turned it into a side business that unlocked > 100 iPhones in 2 weeks and funded the MBP.

    Dude drops off 4 iPhones at my home and I’ve no idea what they do with them. I try to understand code and modify it to do what I want.

    The original iPhone was released & locked to AT&T. They were imported into SG as novelty duds anyway. Rando asks me if I knew how to unlock.

    You can't do much with an overly simplistic understanding. Once you understand the problem, then you can figure out how to resolve it.
