  • This comes off a little negative but totally get the desire to show a sibling something different,as someone who uses to listen to rogan regularly…

    Find whatever guests he liked and nail down what it is he’s actually interested in. For me it was history and comedy.

    History of Rome with Mike Duncan then lead to youtubers like sandrhomanhistory and the operations room. If he’s into more military and masculine show him forgotten weapons also on YouTube.

    If you go as left mainstream as John Oliver it’s gonna be an uphill battle. Even though I more than likely agree with what he would say have 0 desire to watch it.

    Comedy wise the early cumtown episodes are goofy classics.













  • Buttons.

    Have you ever used an apple TV remote?

    You can’t even navigate without swiping on a little touch pad.

    Modern Samsung remotes have changed to a toggle sort button where you move it up and down and then depress for mute.

    Good compromise but difficult for the elderly.

    Almost every tv has gone to a digital number interface. Remotes do not have numbers on them unless you’re using an antiquated cable reciever with a dedicated remote. Alternatively you can buy third party remotes but with the digital interfaces it will only work on some models.

    Think the best modern compromise are the Samsung universals and the LG magic remote. Superfluous wii remote esque arrow navigation so replacements cost $50. However, perfect hybrid of modern design and function.

    Thank you for coming to my television remote Ted talk.

    It is not necessarily a niche opinion here on lemmy, but the direction tech design is going is overengineered for a problem that never existed.
