@ryanc Ah, I thought maybe you were buying something specific. I see what you did now.

@ryanc there's also the inverse?
This thing already has a python home assistant integration? Meh, I'll buy something different so I can make a RUST one! No? Just me?
And then there's these people: https://github.com/hn/ginlong-solis?tab=readme-ov-file#tampering-with-the-main-application-firmware-1012f

@faux I actually wrote a Linux driver for a USB printer sharing device. Someone once emailed me to thank me for doing so. It was amazing. I'm totally serious when I say "thank you for being that nerd".

@xinit Literally did this for most of the hardware in my house.

@faux I will occasionally buy things with "I bet I can hack that" in mind, but I only have so much time to spend pwning shit.

@ryanc I assume you mean "some OTHER nerd?"
