Well, reading all the answers makes me realize that there might have been a kind of evolution when it comes to TV remotes. I just didn’t come across back lit remotes when I saw them with people in my social circle. Maybe my people just don’t have the latest TV set.

Neat.

The thing that bothers me whenever I see a TV remote is that there doesn’t seem to be a remote control with illuminated keys, like on a computer keyboard. That way you can see the buttons even under dim lit conditions. Also, why aren’t there any remotes with a built-in battery that could be charged like a smartphone?

I don’t own a TV, but I know that back in the days of bulky CRT TV’s there were some remotes that could be iluminated. White LEDs weren’t a thing back then, so they used incandescent lamps which drained the 9V battery fast.

Why aren’t back llit and rechargeable TV remotes a thing today, especially because white LED’s and batteries are quite efficient today?

Sadly, in this world you accomplish nothing for being nice and considerate. If you want to leave an impact (anything - a new invention, a new product, a new idea, anything with impact to contemporary culture) you have to bully yourself to the top, including stealing ideas and screwing people over, as well as to exploit people. All “great” people who accomplished something did that: Gates (Microsoft), Jobs (Apple), Musk (Tesla, Twitter), Bezos (Amazon), Thiel (PayPal, Palantir), Zuckerberg (Meta), Huffman (Reddit), as well as many politicans. It’s a personality treat.

Here is a video that explains the issue, albeit it focuses on designers:

reminds me of this:

along with your personal apple account username and password.

I would never ever share my personal Apple account with work related things. I prefer to have my private stuff seperated from work related things.

I once worked for a small company that had such a setup: All devices were Apple, and everything was connected with the company owners private Apple accounts. That means that I was able to see personal calendars and to an extend some email-related things - Things that reveald more about a person than you wanted to know.

Back then (early to mid-2000s) it was considered the most popular German stoner movie (at least among my social group back then).

It could become true soon (by the end of the century).

That would be horrible. Law entforcement would have a field day (not with the fart statistics tho). Our brain is the last frontier of privacy.

When you are out of porn credits before the end of the month, you can go to the good ol’ simulator:

Ich denke, der Wechsel nach Feddit.org ist die richtige Entscheidung. Hier funktioniert der Zugriff über den Browser und auch der Upload von Bildern endlich wieder.

Ich kann nur von mir sprechen, aber ich bevorzuge es, mich über den Browser am Laptop einloggen zu können. Am Smartphone ist mir das einfach zu doof, mit der kleinen Bildschirmtastatur zu kommentieren. Ich benutze immer noch die wefwef-app, um mit dem Browser meines Smartphones auf diese Instanz zuzugreifen. Zum Durchscrollen reicht mir das.

Zwar ist hier gestern noch alles recht leer (weil brandneu) gewesen, aber ich sehe, dass sich diese Community schnell mit Leben füllt. Hier und da gibt es noch einige Probleme mit der Synchronisation von abonnierten Communities, aber das groovt sich schon alles ein.
