A Hacker News commenter says they have reverse engineered almost every electronic device they own by plugging it in over USB and letting AI explore it, from making old remotes work with new devices to controlling a Rodecaster. When an old printer stopped working with a new macOS, Claude wrote new drivers, with the commenter acting as its eyes and hands to debug the printer.
