- Owners of cloud-dependent or abandoned hardware
- Worth noticing
- Entries label AI involvement, evidence sources, and caveats; one scale repair is tested on a single unit with two profiles.
Field notes
Entries distinguish working code from projects whose source is not yet public, and identify hardware limits rather than presenting every fix as universal. The Withings scale entry requires an original ESP32, while the Xiaomi humidifier write-up describes opening the unit and soldering to serial pins. A separate original Xbox entry says replacement servers cover more than 200 games, but notes that player counts are small.
