minus-squareMiles O'Brien@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·12 days agoI miss my built-in IR emitter on my phone. I used to use an app that would rotate through a bunch of common signals for “off” and I’d just stop it when the annoying-ass TV turned off. Nobody would even notice, because I’m just another person on their phone, not some rando with a remote out in the lobby.
