The AI set up ad blocking DNS on his smart TV over a debug connection

He had the AI configure his smart TV through its debug connection to use a filtered DNS service. Ads on the TV stopped, which he jokes is either a great morning or the start of a robot uprising.

How it works

  1. The AI connects to the TV over adb
  2. Points its DNS at a filtering service
  3. Ads stop

Why it’s worth knowing

The fix was one settings change the owner never found, applied by the agent over a debug bridge.
