How the fuck did people use these things? My remote has like 4 buttons and two of them never get used

zoomer hate thread?

All threads are zoomer hate threads.

SOVL
SOVLESS

Same here but in white. It's for Samsung televisions. The one to the left of it is for older Samsung televisions. Both remote controls work on either one. As I found out when one remote stopped working.

I don't understand. There's not even that many buttons and all their functions are very clear.

just wait. in ten years all young people will be confused by keyboards.

>“How do I double click?” “What is a cell in a spreadsheet?” Mashiko Ishii often hears that her fellow lecturers at Uchida Human Resources Development Center become confused when they are asked such basic questions during training for new employees of IT companies.

>Pressing the button of a computer mouse twice and knowing the basic unit for data input in spreadsheets are some of the fundamentals of using a computer, but it is not uncommon for even would-be system engineers to ask such questions.

>The reason is clear. As smartphones have become extremely convenient, a growing number of students have never laid their hands on a personal computer.

This thread is like something out of Idiocracy

People don't know how to use file explorer, never mind the command line. It's fucking insane how incompetent the touchscreen generation is. I assumed I'd be an aged out boomer falling behind the young lads by this point but it's the opposite.

like 4-5 were necessary (on/off, channel U/D, vol U/D)
the rest were superfluous/optional and mostly needed to be used only occasionally (tuning/port switch/sleep timer etc)

>Ahhh I love living in an advanced society that doesn't have so many confusing buttons. I fucking love science!
>*turns subtitles on because his whole audio setup is fucked*

I will raise my sons on computers. Fuck smartphones

Don't they teach ICT in Japan anymore?

The coloured buttons were very comfy and helped a lot when browsing Teletext.

I've pretty similar, but I imagine it's just how samsung makes their remotes or made at some point in time

>you learn about technology from being taught
people don't use it, so they don't know it. even if you had a lesson a week for a couple years in school it wouldn't do shit. you learn tech stuff by doing.

Fuck off with your zoomer remote.

>a remote that is compatible with every streaming platform without any pre-programming required is somehow more primitive that a remote that only works with 1 specific TV set and can't navigate streaming platforms at all
Yeowza, millennials actually do be the boomers of 2022

>we will make things simpler for boomers who refused to accept computers
>now everyone has to suffer with missing features or features buried within several menus that used to be a lot quicker to access
>but that doesn't matter... boomers are quite happy leaving their picture ratio zoomed in and missing half the picture

Alexa solves this

>raise my sons on computers
and that's how you get trannies

That means you're a samsung chad.

with a remote like that I'm surprised you don't have 50 dicks in your mouth

>boomers
The average 50 year old is better with PCs than the average 20 year old.

Well you'll always be aged out. People don't like old creepy IT guys.

>Windows PCs become technologically superseded by touchscreen iOS or Android devices
>teacher is confused why younger people knows how to use the obsolete tech of her generation
Are you also mad no one knows how to run their OS off a cassette anymore too?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

>NO SON NOT THIS SCREEN
>THIS ONE

You're a fucking idiot.

literally everyone and everything uses Windows

touchscreen phones are from 2007, and they've barely improved since then. even in terms of processing power there's been no big jumps in a decade. it's insane how much of a let down having a computer in your pocket actually has become.

see

>zoomers don't know how to use the remote

They said that fuckin 5 years ago.

Wall-E was not supposed to be a documentary

I bring an FM radio with large specific buttons when walking/running so I can just switch between the presets with my thumb without needing to look at/swipe at my phone, which would be all sorts of annoying/hazardous/etc

some methods are just perfect and timeless in certain situations

Can you literally not speak unless it's phrases you heard online?

You must be fun at parties.

I can do that with my headphones without having to reach into my pocket.

Big tech people have their kids sent to Montessori or Waldorf schools or whatever and normies get their kids sent to be guinea pigs for some software company at a public school. Part of the reason my wife and I are homeschooling.

See? You literally cannot speak unless it's a phrase you read online before.

i enjoy listening to FM radio during winter, especially Christmas.
very cozy

Thanks grandpa

How could they be? Everything has been closed off and made retard-proof.

Who hurt you

>use remote
>few months later
>most of the buttons don't work
I hate this shit. How fucking hard is it to create a controller where the buttons always work?

how? telling your airpods (in public) to play X,Y and Z every few seconds?

Youngest Boomers are in their late 50s. Generation X and Millennials are probably the best with PCs.

See The fact that its preprogrammed doesn't mean its preprogrammed well, and now you can't make it correct because you have a shitty two button remote.

Oh you poor millennial soul. You can tap them in various ways to get them to do whatever you want.

They are incredibly sturdy, I accidently threw mine in the washing machine with the batteries still in and it works great a year later.

>comfy home theater setup.

I always remember that remote control on the left because my friend accidentally texted me a pic of his dick next to it that he meant to send to some tinder bimbo he was banging. I heard he was big but I was surprised that he dwarfed that remote control

It's really concerning that parents in that past 10 years have started to see it as normal for kids to be on the internet. As you say, the public schools force it very hard onto the kids. Meanwhile, one of Facebook's oldest executives has banned his kids from using it.

No. It's the gadgets that are getting smarter, the humans are getting dumber.

so you're just tapping your ear every few seconds instead like you have an infection or trying to communicate with someone on a 90's reception earpiece?

No? You tap it a couple of times until you get the song/playlist you want and then you don't have to tap it anymore?

user....

Zoomer faggot

Which is the point of technology. It automates tasks so that you can focus on things like... living your life. Though I could see how you might not like that if you have nothing better to do than babysit and micromanage your electronics.

maybe I don't want a playlist I've listened to a million times already and actually want to hear new stuff I otherwise wouldn't hear or a random song I haven't heard in a while or even an interesting discussion about whatever on one of the non-music stations?

though zoomers were all about being open to new and wacky shit?

>button dedicated to switching aspect ratio
>button dedicated to switching between languaged
>button dedicated to switching between subtitles
>button dedicated to cycling through your audio 5.1 volume presets
>button dedicated to switching sources
>button dedicated to cycling through image presets
Buttons are convenient you piece of shit zoomer. You're the reason technology has been dumbed down and why TVs and computers nowadays do LESS that what they did in terms of features 20 years ago.

By making the user experience smoother, we have had no choice but to design components to all be blackboxes that do not allow the user to gather any information from the use of the components beyond the input and expected output. The user knows how to click on an icon, but is not ever encouraged to determine what the shortcut path of that icon is because the user is not offered the freedom to modify it.

Superior remote coming through

the minimal controller gives you RSI when navigating long horizontal menus... we get it though, choice bad, thought bad, docile suggestion good for business.
