Not necessary. TV remotes use so little power the batteries can last ages if you just switch their positions once every while. Mine has been using the same set of batteries for 14 years now.
Fuck the batteries, I’m more impressed you still have the remote after 14 years.
The secret is being careful of your stuff and not having kids.
Not anymore, they have always on microphones and motion leds.
Even for those dumb, infrared only remotes manufactured these days, I find they use an unreasonable amount of electricity. The batteries I put in it usually die every year. I’m not sure if the design and materials in the remotes became worse, or the batteries are.
And bluetooth.
And my axe!
Ah, I never got a ‘smart’ tv because they one I have still works well and I don’t need my tv spying on me to sell ads. So I never had those.
Instructions unclear, remote stuck in rectum.
I feel the quality of the instructions were sufficient and suspect you just wished to stick something up your butt
No comment 😶
Whatever floats your boat. I don’t judge. I also won’t touch your remote.
That’s what the doc said too, but it’s been 4 days and I’m about to explode
Since remotes don’t consume a lot of juice, I usually will put the non rechargeable batteries in the charger for like 5 minutes, while monitoring them for temperature or anything out of the ordinary. That usually gives the remote a whole month worth of energy (granted, we don’t use it much).
Never try this if you’re prone to being distracted and forgetting them in there though, that’s recipe for a fire.
Then please post something like this:
Last month I wanted to turn on my TV, but the batteries in my remote died. Out of stupidity, I put the non-rechargeable batteries in my charger for five minutes. I ended up calling the fire department and spent $9,000 on remodeling the living room.
$9,000 can buy a truck of batteries.Well that is not what I experienced, so I won’t.
Who’s in control here?
The TV. He…runs the show.
