Strip the sponsored ads off your parents' Android TV with Claude Code
A developer's parents' Xiaomi TV showed a sponsored ad before you could even reach Netflix. He gave Claude Code the TV's model number; it found the set on the home Wi-Fi, disabled 25 Xiaomi packages and wrote a new Apple TV-style launcher. He later published the prompt and launcher as the open-source cleanyourtv project.
