The full story

Lukas Margerie connected Claude Code to a TCL Google TV over Wi-Fi using developer debugging, and had it replace the stock home screen with a custom launcher in a few prompts. He then redesigned the interface with design tools and animations and pushed the new version back to the TV.

The video also covers turning on USB debugging safely and how to put everything back to stock.

Prompt & Solder

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
