      Even for those dumb, infrared only remotes manufactured these days, I find they use an unreasonable amount of electricity. The batteries I put in it usually die every year. I’m not sure if the design and materials in the remotes became worse, or the batteries are.

      Ah, I never got a ‘smart’ tv because they one I have still works well and I don’t need my tv spying on me to sell ads. So I never had those.
