Random Fail: First World Problems

[Ksandra]

Some phones (in particular my old Samsung S4, maybe others) have a built-in IR blaster so they can be used as a Universal Remote on any kind of TV.

We have iPhone 7s which I don't think you can without an extra piece. Which doesn't really solve the losing bit. If/when I find the remote I'll take a pic to show you how small it is. Best bet is to buy the hugest universal remote I can find.





We'll still lose it.

Yeah I had a friend who used to change channels with his graphing calc back in late 90s so figured phones could do it by now lol

I believe they dropped IR Blasters from standard phone components because no one cared and they wanted to save space. You can buy an external IR blaster dongle or get a wifi-enabled wifi blaster hub if you want to use your phone as a universal remote.

Yesterday, we got a call from a judge at our office. Apparently, they sent a summons for one of our interpreters, which we never got, neither by mail nor by fax. I still managed to get someone from outside our office within three minutes, called back and told the judge we'd have someone there within 15 - 25 minutes, depending on parking spaces available. Judge wasn't happy because they had people waiting, but still thankful.

Called the replacement today to confirm that everything went well and apparently, the judge was so unsatisfied because the originally scheduled interpreter didn't show up that they erased our office from the reimbursement form and instead told the replacement to send an invoice in their name.

So basically, we never got the summons, never sent a confirmation of receipt or order confirmation, which we always do, still sent someone over within less than half an hour when they called and still, we're the ones that messed up, apparently.

Last week got an email confirming a phone interview for yesterday at 12:30pm. Call never comes so at 1:30pm email back inquiring what happened and how to proceed.

Never hear back.

Today get an email addressed to "Ramon" regarding an offer letter. The fuck ? So email back since there's no phone number attached to any email asking what's going on here.

I'm a way I'm thinking I dodged a bullet if they can't keep their shit straight.

Remote found so as I said here is the picture of it:




WHO CREATES A TV WITHOUT A VOLUME BUTTON AND THEN GIVES IT'S CUSTOMERS A TINY ASS REMOTE TO GO WITH IT? BEST BUY, THAT'S WHO.

Don't ever buy a soundbar then. The remote for those are smaller.

Remind me why you aren't using your phone as a remote.

[Astylla]

At the pool at my apartment and just watched this high strung lady freak out her door wasn't opening. She was using the wrong key in the deadbolt.

Remind me why you aren't using your phone as a remote.

I mean it was talked about only a few posts ago.

[Zetanio]

Thanks for reminding me.

That sucks dongs.

Protocol for fist bumping in different cultures?

I only on 'bro' or someone I'm cool with. I will not fist bump a fellow Asian solely based on the fact there Asian.

Does this apply to everyone?

'sandy I got an idea for you. step 1: hook up xbone to tv, make use of hdmi pass-through. step 2: program xbox to control tv/sound bar. step 3: buy the full sized xbone media remote. step 4: always leave the manufacturer remotes by the tv (or in a drawer or something) and just use the xbone remote. step 4: stop losing shit you scrub

[Ksandra]

Your first fail is thinking I have an xBox.


Second fail is I AM OLD AND LOSE SHIT ABOUT EVERY FIVE SECONDS OF THE DAY.

Have you tried not being old?
