Way to excuse yourself from handing money to more than problematic people…

That’s still a legal requirement, not a technical one. A legal requirement that is exactly in the middle of the trademark couch and in no way whatsoever a technicality.

lol have fun paying megacorps into perpetuity over five minutes of effort… your attitude is exactly why mega corps get to shit on everyone and get away with it.

Some manufacturers made all sorts of different codes for instructions between various models of tv and remote. That includes some different TVs only sharing an ‘on’ or ‘off’ code and not the other.

It’s why many ‘universal’ remotes will tell you in the instructions to keep trying different numbers for the manufacturer until all features work. So… you’ll have to do that. Try all Toshiba TV codes that remote knows. If none of them support all features, hopefully you can tweak button by button!

The government is supposed to be that mechanism, but idiots keep being paid to think that capitalism is best, and the industries should regulate themselves because the pros know better, and that’s totally why lobbying is a good idea and not literally legalized bribery!

The governments suck because we let the bad people get away with their greed, and now they’ve bought their way deep into governments. Governments don’t serve the people solely because good people do not know how to be bad to bad people. … and that greedy fuckhead capitalists are also bad people.

Not just gaming. All industries.

It’s capitalism. Capitalism is institutionalized greed. These greedy cunts think they’re just being, “good businessmen”.

Legal requirement, not technical. Trademark law.

You can get background play via using FireFox, video downloading with extensions or other programs, and play anything on hotel TVs with a video cable from a laptop or any other device. All without paying the great beast.
