Can Claude Code make a Windows-only HP laser printer work on macOS? Yes, and it is not hype. In August 2026, PolyThink founder Kuber Mehta spent a single roughly four-hour session coaxing Claude Code (Opus 4.8, 1M context) into reverse-engineering the proprietary SPL3 raster language of an HP Laser 1008a — a rebadged Samsung host-based printer that ships with no macOS driver and no AirPrint — and wiring HP’s real codec into the native macOS CUPS stack. The result is a one-command, MIT-licensed installer at github.com/Kuberwastaken/hp-laser-1008a-macos, and it raises a much bigger question about what agentic tools do to hardware tinkering. ...

Dark-Agent is the first open-source Mythic C2 agent with a full in-memory BOF (Beacon Object File / COFF) loader purpose-built for macOS and Linux. Written in Crystal, it loads Beacon Object Files entirely in memory — no disk writes, no temporary files, no child processes — and has been used operationally by the ServiceNow Red Team since 2024. What Is Dark-Agent? A Mythic C2 Agent Purpose-Built for Linux and macOS Mythic is an open-source, cross-platform C2 (command-and-control) framework that makes it easy to extend an agent and swap in alternative C2 profiles without recompiling. Most of the well-known Mythic agents — Apollo, Xenon, Poseidon, and the Java-based options — either focus on Windows or treat Unix as a second-class citizen. Dark-Agent, released by ServiceNow under an open license, is built explicitly to change that. ...

TokenBar is a free, open-source macOS menu bar application that tracks AI token usage and API spending across 25+ coding agents entirely on your local machine. Built as a native Swift rewrite of the earlier Tauri-based tokcat, TokenBar gives developers real-time visibility into how many tokens Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and two dozen other agents consume — without sending any data to external servers or requiring an account. ...
