My elderly parents, before they passed, would call me into the room almost every night to unbork their television because of the remote control. It seems every single remote control, and if you’re like me you have a pile of them, has the exact same problem that baffles the elderly who are developing cognitive problems due to dementia, Alzheimer’s or just old age. Every remote control has buttons that will call up a menu and every single one, I have anyway, needs a different button to get rid of at least some of them. So I came up with a solution.
Virtually all of them have soft buttons now and the unsophisticated only need power, volume and channel. I took a razor blade and shaved all the rest off flush, no more problems and you can still use the shaved buttons if necessary.
not even going to get into the stupidity of our species that they can’t figure this out and I would bet that almost every remote has this problem.
