What they did
0xCarnagee says Claude Code scanned his Wi-Fi, found the TV, opened its local developer API and mapped every app on it. It flagged every ad and tracker and removed only those, with no rejections or bans.
Result (as claimed)
A TV with ads and trackers removed and everything else left alone.
Tools they used
Cost: Pricing depends on the tools you pick; check each official pricing page.
Set it up
Define the job
Say exactly what you want done and what the agent may and may not do on your behalf.
Share only what is needed
Give Claude Code the minimum files or access required. Avoid sharing passwords in chat when a safer login flow exists.
Review the plan
Ask the agent to show its plan or draft before it acts, and approve each step that has real consequences.
Check the result
Confirm the outcome yourself (order placed, request sent, document understood) and keep a record.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
