The full story
The poster wanted a family member's old LG TV to be easier for a non-technical person, so they put a small hub inside the TV using Developer Mode. Questions asked from a phone appear full-screen on the TV, and Claude has tools that run on the TV to open channels, read the programme guide, open apps and change the volume. There are also party games where phones act as controllers.
The TV's Node.js is version 0.10 from 2013, so the hub uses raw HTTPS instead of the SDK. Its old WebKit WebSockets stopped working after a while, so the screen uses HTTP long-polls. A question costs about $0.005 to $0.02.
