The full story

GeekMagic SmallTVs are cheap desk gadgets, an ESP8266 or ESP32 with a small screen in a TV-shaped case, sold to show the time or weather. Hackaday covers a project that reflashed one with surprisingly little fuss, opening it up for custom uses.

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.
