一位开发者让电视服用了 Claude，这是它系统发生的变化
曾几何时，电视在人们心目中，还是个开机就能看、按两下遥控器就能换台的物种。
现在，打开电视准备看部电影，首先映入眼帘的却是一段开机广告。好不容易进了主页，扑面而来的又是满屏的海报推荐、会员充值弹窗，中途按个暂停还会跳出一整张促销贴片。
最近，有一群人终于不打算再忍下去了。他们找来了一个意料之外的帮手——AI，试着把电视给「改回去」。
给电视做一场「大扫除」
上周，开发者 Gathin 在社交平台上发了一组给父母改电视的照片。按他的描述，家里的小米电视连打开 Netflix 前都要先看一段赞助广告。
于是，他把电视型号交给了编程助手 Claude Code，让它通过 Wi-Fi 接入设备，一口气停用了 25 个系统组件，再写一个极简桌面——原来杂乱的主页，一下子就变得清爽起来。
他随后把这套 prompt、桌面源码和踩坑记录开源到了 GitHub，项目命名为 CleanYourTV。
短短几天，项目迅速收获了约 1.37 万颗 Star，「天下苦智能电视久矣」了属于是。在 Reddit 的相关讨论区中，挤满了追问自家机型能否适配的用户，不少人也陆续贴出自己改造后的极简首页。
AI「接管」电视的底层逻辑并不神秘，核心依旧是安卓生态里用了十几年的老工具：ADB（Android 调试桥）。
只要连上同一局域网、开启电视的调试权限，AI 就能顺着终端接口排查正在运行的几百个应用组件。哪些是开机广告，哪些是偷偷上报收视数据的遥测程序，AI 逐个筛查并下达命令将其「冻结」，最后再换上一个纯净的开源桌面。
甚至原本深藏在多层二级菜单里的 HDMI 与外接输入源，也能直接做成首页的常驻入口。
另一位 YouTuber Ansub Khan 也记录了自己的改造过程，并将项目开源为 TV Detox。在他原本的那台电视上，开机默认会自动播放嘈杂的轮播内容。
改造之后，新首页只剩下时钟、常用视频应用和输入源。
视频里，Ansub 实测电视可用内存从约 370 MB 飙升到了 600—650 MB；一位照着 prompt 操作的 TCL Beyond 用户也表示，虽然没有精确数据，但摆脱了沉重的后台驻留后，整台电视的滑动与响应明显变轻快了。
翻看 Reddit 社区里的讨论，我注意到一个很有意思的细节：大家心目中想要的「理想电视」，似乎根本不是同一回事，彼此甚至完全无法达成一致。
有人依然习惯原厂界面，只想剔除广告和多余推荐，再把遥控器的快捷键重映射给常用应用；
另一位索尼 KD-55A8H 用户则更追求极简——他把时钟改成了 24 小时制，删掉早晚问候、日期和所有装饰线，连系统字体都换成了工整冷峻的 IBM Plex Sans。
事实上，人们的需求本来就是千人千面的。但在追求标准化的商业逻辑里，用户往往都只能在厂商给定的框架内自定义。
戏剧性的是，AI 的介入反而意外地给这种极度细分、千奇百怪的个性化诉求，提供了一条普通人也能摸索走通的定制路径。
硬件不赚钱，屏幕就成了广告位
这些年电视越来越便宜，除了面板成本下降与生产力提高，也有厂商「赔本赚吆喝」的成分在。但厂商毕竟不是做慈善的，硬件负责低价「交个朋友」，钱自然就得从别的地方赚回来。
至于电视卖出去之后还能靠什么赚钱，我们可以从海外流媒体巨头 Roku 的财报中略窥一二。
2025 年，它的设备硬件业务全年毛亏损了 8202 万美元；依靠数字广告、订阅与内容分发构成的平台业务，毛利润却高达 21.56 亿美元。
TCL 电子也披露，2025 年互联网业务收入为 31.1 亿港元，毛利率达到 56.4%；同期，大尺寸显示业务的毛利率为 16.8%。很显然，围绕电视开展的互联网运营，有着比硬件更厚的毛利空间。
在国内，针对智能电视的整改确实有了一定的效果。根据广电总局披露的数据，主流品牌已有 93% 的机型支持将开机广告一键关闭或永久关闭。
但这依然治标不治本。开机倒计时广告被限制，并阻挡不了厂商变现的需求，商业算盘只会打得更加隐蔽。
就拿国内的一些流媒体平台来说，片头动辄 90 秒的贴片广告、暂停时的全屏促销海报，以及手机端年卡不可用的「大屏专享 VIP」弹窗，依然像牛皮癣一样原封不动地贴在那里。
CleanYourTV 这类工具能清理的，仅仅是电视系统自身的预装包与官方桌面。它能帮你把客厅大门打扫干净，却管不到各个 App 屋内的规矩。
我们买下的硬件，为什么不能自己做主？
「Vibe-Hacking」这股风潮，并不只局限在「电视」。
在相机圈，一群摄影师也在想方设法把厂商藏起来的功能找回来。
在索尼老机身上，开源项目 Recipe Lab 借用老旧的 PlayMemories Camera Apps 入口，让 A6000、A6300 等机型能够加载自定义色彩配方，把色彩矩阵与白平衡参数写入机身底层。
另一项针对 A7 IV 固件的研究，更是在 6.02 版本固件深处直接翻出了被官方屏蔽的快门角度与 LUT 实现。虽然目前仅能调出图标、拨轮调节依然受限，但代码的存在本身就证实了硬件能力早已有之。
尼康社区的开源项目 Wonder Lantern 则把个性化做到了更深处。有开发者不仅为 Z30 扩展出了 900 秒超长曝光、直方图同屏以及自定义快门音，国内逆向社区甚至直接解包并重构了尼康固件，通过私钥重新打包签名，成功在相机菜单里加入了新的设置选项。
理光社区的 GR Mod 则把摄影师自己的 .cube LUT 色彩预设，拟合成相机能识别的机内风格槽位，甚至加入了 65:24 宽幅比例，让这台街拍机直接拥有了类似胶片风格与 XPAN 构图视野。
在富士圈子里，开发者 justice-jake 正在试图打破官方的固件护城河——把新款机型独占的胶片模拟、快照对焦和配方编辑器，反向移植到快被遗忘的老机身 X70 上。
老款处理器的通道曲线被硬件锁死，他就借助 AI 辅助 USB 调试与固件仿真，在底层代码里一点点抠出近似的算法实现。

更具戏剧性的探索出现在哈苏身上。开源项目 Hasselblad X Unleashed 直接瞄准了部分中画幅机身的底层系统——这台相机内部跑的是深度定制的 Android，这扇隐秘的「后门」让极客们兴奋不已。
他们不仅顺藤摸瓜解锁了无线麦克风、外接监看和像素位移，社区甚至有人直接在价值数万元的哈苏相机上成功跑起了经典游戏《毁灭战士》。
与在电视上停用几个安卓软件相比，去啃相机底层的固件显然是完全不同量级的冒险。
但这两群看似风马牛不相及的人，折腾的逻辑异曲同工：我们明明花全款买下了这台机器，它的功能到底该怎么用，凭什么只能由厂商的商业算盘说了算？
过去，想要突破这种设定，需要极客在汇编代码和反编译工具里硬啃数月甚至数年。
现在，AI 第一次把原本专属于逆向工程师的代码审计和排查能力，交到了更多普通人手里。那些原本被封装在黑盒深处，被刀法阉割的功能、塞满广告的角落，第一次变得透明可见。
从客厅里的屏幕大扫除，到摄影圈里的固件解锁，一场自下而上的技术反叛，正在一次次看似微小的折腾里显出轮廓。
商业公司的盈利算盘不会停止，数字围栏也不会凭空消失。但当技术的天平悄然发生倾斜，那些曾经被视作理所当然的出厂设定，终于被重新打上了问号。
欢迎来到「大逆向时代」。

A developer put the TV on. Claude, this is the change in its system.
Once upon a time, television was a species that people could look at and click on the remote.
Now, it's an open-air commercial that opens the television and prepares to watch a film. It was hard to get to the home page, with a full-screen poster recommendation, a member top up bullet window, and an entire promotional sticker popping out of a pause.
Recently, a group of people finally decided to put up with it. They got an unexpected helper, AI, trying to get the TV back.
A big sweep for the TV.
Last week, developer Gathin posted a set of pictures on social platforms for parents to change their TV. According to his description, the family's mini-vision was even open before Netflix had to watch a sponsorship ad.
So he gave the TV model to the programming assistant Claude Code, which, with Wi-Fi access, stopped 25 system components in one breath and wrote a very simple desktop -- the old mess of the home page -- and it just came to light.
He then took the prompt, desktop source code and pedal record open source to GitHub, and the project was named CleanYourTV.
In just a few days, the project quickly yielded about 13.7 million Stars, and "the world's hard-wired smart TV is long." The discussion area of Reddit was filled with users who asked if their own machines fit, and many of them continued to post their own very simple front pages.
The bottom logic of AI's "takeover" television is not mysterious, but the core is still an old tool in Andre's ecology for more than a decade: ADB (Android Bridge).
As long as it connects to the same local area network and opens the television debug permission, AI can screen hundreds of active applications along the terminal interface. Which are the commercials, which are the telemetry programs that secretly report the data, and AI screens them individually and orders them to "freeze" and then replace them with a pure open-source desktop.
Even the HDMI and external input sources, which were originally hidden in the multilayered secondary menu, can be used directly as a permanent entry point for the first page.
Another YouTube Ansub Khan also documented his own adaptation and opened the project with TV Detox. On his original TV, the radio was automatically shown on the air in a loud cycle.
After the change, only clocks, common video applications and input sources are left on the new front page.
In the video, the available memory of Ansub measured television skyrocketed from about 370 MB to 600-650 MB; a TCL Beyond user, following the prompt, also said that, although there were no precise data, the slide and response of the whole TV was significantly lightened when the heavy backstage presence was removed.
Looking at the discussion in Reddit, I noticed a very interesting detail: the "ideal television" that you wanted seemed to be not the same thing at all, and could not even agree with each other at all.
Some people are still used to the original interface and simply want to remove advertising and redundant recommendations and re-map the remote control shortcuts to common applications;
Another Sony, KD-55A8H user, prefers to be simple: He changed the clock to a 24-hour system, deleted greetings, dates and all decorative lines, and even changed the font of the system to a cold IBM Plex Sans.
In fact, people's needs are inherently one-hundred-thousand. However, in the business logic of pursuing standardization, users are often only able to define themselves within the framework given by the manufacturer.
The dramatic fact is that AI's intervention, by accident, has given this highly disaggregated, grotesque personalized claim, offering a custom path that ordinary people can grope through.
If the hardware doesn't make money, the screen becomes the advertising slot.
In addition to falling panel costs and increasing productivity, there is also a component of the manufacturer's "loss of money" that has become cheaper over the years. But after all, the manufacturer is not a charity, the hardware is a low-priced "friend-making" and the money comes back from somewhere else.
As for how much money can be made after the TV is sold, we can take a look at the financials of overseas media giant Roku.
In 2025, its hardware and equipment operations had a gross loss of $8,202 million for the year; the gross profit was $2,156 million based on the platform business consisting of digital advertising, subscriptions and content distribution.
TCL Electronics also disclosed that revenue from Internet operations in 2025 was HK$311 billion, with a Māori rate of 56.4 per cent; for the same period, the Māori rate for large sizes was 16.8 per cent. It is clear that the Internet operation around television has more Maori space than hardware.
At the national level, improvements to smart television do have some effect. According to data disclosed by the General Directorate of Radio and Television, 93 per cent of mainstream brands already support the closing or permanent closure of opening advertisements.
But it still treats the symptoms. Countdown advertising is restricted and does not stop the demand of manufacturers for liquidity, and commercial calculations only become more hidden.
For some of the country's popular media platforms, the 90-second sticker, the paused full-screen promotion posters, and the "Big Screen VIP" bullet window, which is not available on the end of a mobile phone card, are still posted in its original form as a cow's skin.
The tools such as CleanYourTV can be cleaned up only by the television system's own prepackage and official desktops. It cleans up the living room door, but it doesn't control the rules in the App house.
We bought hardware. Why can't we do it ourselves?
"Vibe-Hacking" is not limited to "television".
In the camera ring, a group of photographers were also trying to find ways to recover the factory ' s hidden functions.
On the Sony old machine, the Open Source Project Recipe Lab used the old PlayMemories Camera Apps portal to allow the A6000, A6300 models to load custom colour formulas and write colour matrices and white balance parameters to the bottom of the body.
Another study of A7 IV solids, more importantly, is the direct overturning of the official blocked fast door angle at the depth of version 6.02. While only the movement of icons and rotation festivals remains limited at present, the very existence of codes confirms that hardware capabilities are already available.
The open-source project of the Nicon community, Wonder Lantern, went deeper. Not only did the developers expand 900 seconds of ultra-exposure for Z30, histograms and self-defined fast-keys, the domestic reverse community even depacked and reconstructed the Nicon solids directly, and repackaged the signatures through private keys, successfully adding new settings to the camera menu.
The GR Mod of the Light Community presets the cameraman's own.cube LUT colours, synthesizes the intra-machine-style slots that can be identified by the camera and even adds 65:24 broad bands, giving the street camera a direct view of similar film styles and XPAN.
In the Fuji circles, developers are trying to break the official solids moat — the simulation of the new money machine's monolithic film, snapshot focus and formula editor, which is being transposed in reverse to the old and soon forgotten body X70.
The path curve of the old processor was locked to death by hardware, and he was able to do it with AI-aided USB debugging and solid simulations, a little bit like a close algorithm in the bottom code.

More dramatic exploration has taken place on Hasu. Open source project Hasselblad X Unleashed aimed directly at the bottom system of the partially painted body -- The camera ran deep-seated Android, and the secret "back door" turned the crowd on.
Not only did they untie wireless microphones, external surveillance and pixel migrations, but the community even managed to play the classic game " Destroyer " directly on a tens of thousands of dollars-worth Hasso camera.
Compared with the discontinuation of several Andre software on television, it is clear that the solids that chew on the bottom of the camera are at a very different level of risk.
But these two groups of people who seem to be different from each other, have the same logic: we bought the machine at full cost, how does it work, and what does it do?
In the past, to break this set-up would require the predators to eat hard for months, if not years, in compilation codes and back-compilation tools.
Now, for the first time, AI has turned over code auditing and routing capabilities, originally dedicated to reverse engineers, to more ordinary people. Those who were originally sealed deep in the black box, were castrated with knives, filled with advertising corners, became transparent for the first time.
From the screens in the living room to the solids in the camera ring, a bottom-up technical rebellion is showing the contours of a seemingly small tumult.
Business companies ' profit calculations will not stop and the digital fence will not disappear in vain. But when the technology's scales were slanted, those that had been taken for granted were finally re-characterized.
Welcome to the Great Inverse Age.
