Claude restyled a Samsung TV using a phone camera as its eyes

User 0xVic asked Claude to strip ads and telemetry from a Samsung Tizen TV, but ADB didn't apply. The agent built a local webpage that captured phone-camera photos of the screen every four seconds and, over about 11 hours and roughly 30% of a $100 Claude Max subscription, produced an Apple TV-style interface.

• Claude captured the TV screen via phone camera every 4 seconds
• The experiment took about 11 hours across two sessions
• Cost was roughly 30% of a $100 Claude Max subscription
• Result: Apple TV-style skin and ad ID reset, no firmware changes
