    I used to have so much fun back when cell phones had IR blasters. Changing channels and messing with people before it was common knowledge that you could do that on a cell. I wish phones still had that.

      Back in the day when they were actually focused on putting features into phones instead of stripping them out…

          used to have a FM tuner on the modem. International models do still carry modems with FM tuners on them. And the antenna was you headphone cord. Which is why it doesnt and won’t work with Bluetooth… And for all likely hood it won’t work with USB c headphones either

      Long before smartphones, Casio used to make an IR blaster watch. Nobody ever suspected the person checking the time was messing with the TV.

        When the teacher took your watch at the beginning of class it was either test time or tv cart time.
