In fact you can use your smartphone to change the channel on nearly any TV. In the comments on that post some people talk about how to do it. Basically you need a smartphone with either builtin IR or use a USB-C IR blaster or if your phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack you can also try one of those but I'm not sure if the 3.5mm ones are as commonly supported.

I really need to get one.

And I need to learn to use mine better. All I got is a couple of neat magic tricks like turning off TVs or scanning people's cats lol

Just been too busy learning other things lately I guess

scanning people's cats

... Pardon?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

haha some people have their pets microchipped so they can be scanned and returned to the owner if lost. If you run the flipper over the right spot (and in the right mode), generally between the shoulder blades, it'll tell you if they're chipped and read out some of the data.

if chip == True:
    print("is cat")
else:
    print("might not be cat")
