Yeah I got a Chromecast, and sometimes I can't find the remote, then I'd open up Google Home and just open the virtual remote there. Not ideal since you can't feel the buttons, but hey, it works

(Or you could go out and buy a universal remote, y'know. Remember to put a sticker on that one lol)!

Enjoy fighting for control over the TV with two remotes lol.

Not anymore. Those were old phones. I wish they still did though. It would have been useful.

It was super fun. Those tv's in waiting rooms? I used to change the channel to something good instead of gameshows and news. Most receptionists didnt notice but was fun watching them constantly trying to out remote me.
