Developer @lucataco asked DeepSeek to help root a baby monitor camera, de-bloat it, and cut it off from the cloud — with the model verifying the whole process across two reboots. He can now delete the ad-filled companion app.
Igor Carron retweeted with "And they fall...", nodding at another smart-home device's cloud lock-in being broken with AI assistance. A vivid case of LLM-assisted hardware liberation.
