the appletv4 remote is very good

it actually sucks real bad and is impossible to hold or touch without accidentally pressing a wrong button. it also costs $80 loving dollars to replace, may as well buy another whole Apple TV

the apple tv remote does suck because it's symmetrical and impossible to tell when you're pointing it the correct way if you quickly pick it up to change the volume or something.

it is hundreds of dollars cheaper. these are like iPod Nano prices.

but it has a lot of technology in it:

* touch controls
* bluetooth
* IR blaster
* accelerometer
* battery
* lightning port

plus it's made of glass and aluminium. besides a screen and storage, it is a freaking iPod touch.

no way the unit cost of an Apple TV Remote is more than five bucks

haha I found it I was sitting in the living room and the tv came on by itself. usually this happens when you sit on the remote or maybe just accidentally glance at it. immediately I was like holy poo poo that loving remote is somewhere in this house. my little poo poo head toddler runs in the room with some fake vegetables and I say what did you do with he remote you fucboi. I went and looked in his play kitchen and what do you know. I wasn't going to shell out $80 for a new one but glad I have it back

quantity discounts on good accelerometers and Bluetooth radios must be ridiculous then

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
