So a malicious website can brick controllers. Good for author but I'm surprised its even possible.

- hbn 3y agoYou have to give it permissions to interface with the device, but also it sounds like a site wouldn't be able to so much "brick" it but rather miscalibrate it since it's not permanent. I assume it's just setting some offset values specific to the controller based on the stick's center point and whatnot. If a malicious site were to do that, you could just come back to this site and fix it.
- michaelmrose 3y agoReading it more clearly the developer actually expresses concern about allowing the code to run on clones resulting in potentially bricking them due to not supporting the same operations. Perhaps its more accurately a possible deficiency in clone controllers that the developer supposes may be in danger.
