At this point I realize I’ve most likely ever only come across the mispronounced version…

Not surprising, I think they even mispronounced it in an episode of Futurama. Just a shame because the proper way sounds so much better.

The British seem very happy with keeping the “-tre” ending but pronouncing it “-ter” for centuries.

I used to want one of these IR blaster things to kill tvs in waiting rooms, but then earbuds got better and cheaper and more generally useful.

I always wanted one because I was pretty young when they were putting IR blasters in cell phones and I thought I’d be able to remote control anything like Johnny Five in Short Circuit 2.

I miss my old HTC thunderbolt. Removable storage, IR blaster, removable battery. Phones while they have gotten faster, and the software /cameras improved, the actual phones design has gotten so much worse over the years.

During the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show, an individual associated with Gizmodo brought a TV-B-Gone remote control and shut off many display monitors at booths and during demos affecting several companies. These actions caused the individual to be banned for life from future CES events.
