The "Dumb' Tax" comes in many forms.
Just needs an easily replaceable 18650 in parallel to all the remotes.
Just don't glue on the edge where batteries are. There's spade at the bottom for you to slide out the batteries cover and replace the batteries.
Glue them to colorful broom handles.
- Easier to find
- Lightsaber
Glue the remote to your telly. You know where it is and get some exercise zapping channels.
Only two adults live in my house. I ended up buying one remote for each seat in the living room (which is rather more than two) and my wife still manages to lose them.
I ended up getting one more to keep next to my chair to lend her. I just make sure to get it back when her original is recovered.
It's actually gotten less common now because our kid is pretty good at finding them.
(If I sound resentful, I'm not. I love my wife. It just amazes me how that situation played out.)
...or lose them all at the same time
There's a Tile at the bottom on the pic
Ok, but to make it interesting I'm hiding them somewhere in the house. You get paid only after you find them all.
The Megatron doesn't say urban freewheelers, it says sofa masturbators.
It smells wrong.
I was never sure if that was figurative or literal.
Stupid idea. Better to just hot glue the remotes to your hand. I haven't lost them since and never have to get up to get them from across the room.
I used to have a watch configured with the most common codes and equipped with an IR blaster. That seems a rather more manageable approach.
Captain Remote and the remoteers
I just put them all in my flipper zero. Now I just use that instead of searching the room, but that means I never use the remotes so they never actually get lost anymore, so..??
Redneck innovation at its finest
This tracks for Martin TN, really. Not much out there.
So this is how the Quintessons got started, huh
The universal remote control
