Imagine you're 80 years old, or even half that. This is your remote.

Take a guess on which power button turns it on, and which power button can leave you into a state where your TV don't work because it turned the cable box off or turned on the cable box and the TV off, etc.

@sendpaws esu esu vee tv doxx

I had a TV like this in 2008 with this type of remote and I loved it, my dad saw me playing Call of Duty 3 on it with the 360 and said the picture was blurry so he bought a Sony Bervia.

We also had a Mitsubishi TV. I stopped watching Television around the same time he bought me the Sony because DVRs were becoming required for cable and I hated how many buttons they had plus you had one for your TV which you never used and they changed the channel numbers to 4 digits instead of two for HD.

@splitshockvirus I used a ghetto ass TV like this with a HDMI to av adapter when I got my Xbox one originally

@sendpaws also when I had the Sony 1080p TV I used this because I didn't know what HDMI was and just assumed it was something computers used (even though the 360 had HDMI) because I was not good with computers at 12.

I now run Arch Linux and have virtual bridged network interfaces using a WiFi 6E antenna to make videos.danksquad.org work in my apartment. In short I haven't changed much in 20 years.

@eric @splitshockvirus it does 1080p (that's how it works on my Xenon)

@sendpaws @splitshockvirus no i mean you can only go up to 1080i with component

@eric @splitshockvirus you can do p (it ghosts depending on the cable but ps3 guys did this back in the day for cap cards)
