The buttons on Zenith’s original “clicker” remote were a mechanical marvel - Lemmy.world

My grandmother had one of these.

I somehow discovered that if I took this magnetic screwdriver, and this bent piece of coat hanger and slapped them together, her tv would turn off.

I fucked with her so much she took her tv to a repair shop because she thought it was broken.

Good times.

I think this is hacking in its purest form. You’ve discovered a new way to do something unexpected, and you went ahead with it just because you could.
