The full story

A tongue-in-cheek Hacker News comment showing how such a task might begin: asking Claude Code to "write me a USB driver for Windows NT", pointing it at QEMU and a local NT disk image so it can build and test the driver in an emulator.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
