I’ve done similar hacks and I love how LLMs turned them from month-long projects to a couple of weeks.
Claude used to work best IMHO but their “safety” change has made it near useless. Luckily local models are getting better.

Curious to hear why they did this to begin with.
I can understand the warranty aspect: they don’t necessarily want to be in the hook when users stuffs up the port using a janky 20-in-1 USB-C hub.
Why play around with the VRR and HDR side of things too?
Edit: I know someone will say ‘because they want to sell more docks’, but it already comes with the console… the market for people buying multiple docks I doesn’t justify the development and manufacturing costs.
