> AI is empowering us to replace crappy vendor software with something better Really hope this to be true, but I think companies will go for crappy vendor soft

  I dunno, lots of companies seem pretty happy to build large portions of their business on top of unvetted single-maintainer open source projects. Don't see why they'd stop doing so now. (Anyway, I don't care so much about what companies go for, as opposed to what I can do on my own devices.)

    Exactly my thoughts. My point was targeted more towards consumers who usually don't have a voice in the software/hardware they buy. Reverse engineering, de-vendor locking, and open sourcing the protocol gives us freedom to use the device we purchased however we want, for as long as we want.

  Doesn't have to be, you can just clone the repo and have Claude do a security analysis and then host it on an internal company git instance and then send the developer a $200 donation as a thank you. About an hour of work with modern AI tools

  It depends on company policies but even so this is a boon for personal computing.
