fuck TVs (without physical buttons)

as much as i already hate television for all the mindless propaganda on the devil’s box (or rather, devil’s flatscreen), it grinds my fucking gears so much when the tv doesn’t even have physical buttons. like what the fuck, that’s such a simple point of failure? a remote dies, and what, you’re stuck with just a fucking dumb panel you can’t even turn off.
man, fuck this shit.

UPD: I’M SORRY, THE TV HAS BUTTONS BUT IN MY DEFENSE THEY WERE VERY HARD TO LOCATE ON THE LITTLE BACK PANEL AT THE BOTTOM

UPD2: but i also think we're not far from this being the new tech standard, ironically.

they make tvs that dont have power buttons??? the worst part is in hindsight i'm like "yeah that would be a thing they would do" but like why would anyone think that's a good idea

no idea, but i’m currently staying at a hotel, and i can’t exactly find a power button on the tv itself. complete utter bullshit.

UPD: I AM SO SO SORRY, IT HAS BUTTONS BUT IN MY DEFENSE THEY WERE VERY HARD TO FIND ON THE LITTLE BACK SLOT

bonus (but lesser) annoyance is when the tv has buttons, but there are functionalities which are still locked to the remote. i have an old hdtv where the only way to change how it displays 4:3 video is a button on the remote, and you can only access the service menu on my crt with a remote, too. wah
