I always wanted one because I was pretty young when they were putting IR blasters in cell phones and I thought I’d be able to remote control anything like Johnny Five in Short Circuit 2.

I used to want one of these IR blaster things to kill tvs in waiting rooms, but then earbuds got better and cheaper and more generally useful.

I had custom firmware installed on my PSP and got in trouble for turning the projector on and off on high school.

I was a few years out of HS when those blasters became more wide spread (my HTC M7 had one, though 6 years too late), and how I wish I had one back then.

Aw shit, why didn’t I think of this! I too had a PSP with CFW in HS, but I just used it for… totally “backed up”…games lmao

It was a great time indeed when the popularity of IR blasters overlapped with being in high school.

I miss my old HTC thunderbolt. Removable storage, IR blaster, removable battery. Phones while they have gotten faster, and the software /cameras improved, the actual phones design has gotten so much worse over the years.
