If I wanted a virus on my device, I’ll just go to a malware repository rather than trust low quality slopware.
Yes, this is what I got excited about upon hearing about the recent Adobe “open sourcing.”
This is the repo that people are using, 270k stars
Yea but you will also install other software like maybe gidhra.
Yep, all in the readme
It would be amazing if this could bootstrap RISCV drivers
Or just drivers for existing abandoned but perfectly functional Qualcomm SoCs.
Damn straight, an absolute shitton of Linux phones just waiting to happen…
For all the very real bad things AI is/can be used for. I really would love to see more uses like this. So long as the code generated is made to be easily auditable (clear comments and traceable code) by folks that know how to do it for other projects that have been trying to free as many left to rot devices. Obviously a lot of slop stuff will make things hard for finding the gems, and will be important to treat all things as “too good to be true” until verified.
With the way that companies lock the shit out of modern devices with planned obsolescence. It would be great to repurpose those devices with as much of the hardware being accessible, unlike the current issues with major parts not working (not from lack of trying/caring to be clear). The breakthroughs that humans are able to figure out will still be more impressive, but there is a difference between folks like them clearly stating what parts they used tools to help with (if used at all) vs the no effort vibe-coder crowd. Will be also great if they are able to get results with small focused locally hosted AI instead of everything being on those “bubble” data centers.
I would love if someone reverse engineered Logitech drivers and made them better as actual drivers instead of an annoying app
Logitech and Razer have great open-source driver support on Linux.
I had very good results with OpenLogi https://github.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi/
Could this one day get us a second life for our echo flex units? They are phenomenal pieces of hardware.
Meta portal TV are also excellent hardware units discarded by its mothership and ripe for reuse. They were so mired by controversy but the TV unit hardware was really great.
You’ll be playing doom on your toothbrush in no time.
But yah maybe. There are mountains of “smart” hardware that demanded cloud, cloud went away, suddenly a brick. I’d love to wire some of that up and give Claude a shot at jail breaking and flashing that kinda thing.
