  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    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?

    We have one like that with illuminated buttons, probably from around 2015, but it only stays on for 30 seconds or so
