I had custom firmware installed on my PSP and got in trouble for turning the projector on and off on high school.
It was a great time indeed when the popularity of IR blasters overlapped with being in high school.
Aw shit, why didn’t I think of this! I too had a PSP with CFW in HS, but I just used it for… totally “backed up”…games lmao
It’s bad when people mispronounce mischievous but this dude actually spelled it the way people mispronounce it lmao
Wait until anon learns about the flipper zero

Smart TV ‘remote’ apps are infinitely worse than an IR blaster
For everyday use, sure, but for trolling they’re just excellent!
I used to want one of these IR blaster things to kill tvs in waiting rooms, but then earbuds got better and cheaper and more generally useful.
Samsung phones at that time also had IR blasters
I miss that and the head phone jack. Oh and replaceable batteries! Popping a new battery you have pre charged was so convenient.
I miss my old HTC thunderbolt. Removable storage, IR blaster, removable battery. Phones while they have gotten faster, and the software /cameras improved, the actual phones design has gotten so much worse over the years.
During the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show, an individual associated with Gizmodo brought a TV-B-Gone remote control and shut off many display monitors at booths and during demos affecting several companies. These actions caused the individual to be banned for life from future CES events.

If i had known about all the bloatware samsung shoves into their phones before i got one, it woulda never left the shelf. There are about 5 junk apps in my play store queue right now and was able to uninstall another 4 so they dont show up in the list, but its massively inconvenient to have to do that to begin with. Would rather be allowed to opt out of the stuff out of the box.
I do this with my OnePlus Open and the TV at work.
trolling aside, has anybody had any luck with those 3.5mm ir blaster adapters? my phone has a headphone jack but no blaster and i don’t have the original remote for my stereo :p
