The modern equivalent is "Just" use Fable or Sol to reverse-engineer the protocol, then write new control software that works locally the way you want to work, using the file formats you want to use.
There is no longer any reason to put up with hardware like Cricut that doesn't do what you want, or that includes artificial dependencies on remote servers. If worst comes to worst, then yes, have the clanker write a new controller.
One of the YouTubers who benchmarks vibe-hackery tried getting GLM 5.3 to reprogram an older iPod Nano. [1] Something like "I just plugged in an iPod via USB. Turn it into a GPU status display." It got pretty far but couldn't close escrow.

Proposing cost to reverse engineer a cricut and cut out some pelican art as a new llm benchmark.

As long as there's a bicycle under that pelican I think we're good.
It it less crazy that it sounds. I have recently replaced firmware on an obscure MCU to revive a flip-dot display.
