How to turn your smartphone into a remote control easily


Jan 4, 2018 1:13 PM
To this day, there are just a few things that we can not do with our smartphones. From playing content of any kind, whether videos, images or sounds, to controlling the appliances in our house. One of the most interesting functions that integrate most devices (although increasingly in smaller amounts) is the remote control feature. Thanks to this, we can make use of our devices as if it were aremote, with all that entails. Today we will teach you how to turn your smartphone into a remote control easily and without having to resort to rooting your smartphone.
For clarity, this guide is aimed at those users whose smartphone does not have such remote functionality. If your device has this function, you will only have to resort to the application of the corresponding manufacturer to make use of it.

Get a remote control for less than 3 euros

If we look back, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Gionee M6 were one of the first smartphones to integrate the remote control function natively. Since then, many manufacturers have provided this functionality in their smartphones, although fewer and fewer brands are betting on this technology, as mentioned above.
But if there is something that technology has taught us, it is that everything has a solution in this life (except death). Thanks to the external infrared that we can find in stores like Amazon or eBay, we can turn our smartphone or tablet into a remote control for just 3 euros. The only requirement for proper operation is to have a 3.5mm headphone jack input, although we can use models with micro USB or USB type C (usually work considerably better than the first, although they are more expensive than these). Then, we will install the remote control application indicated by the manufacturer and follow the instructions of the same.

It should be added that not all infrared models are compatible with all smartphones and operating systems since those for iOS devices tend to show incompatibilities with Android devices. That is why we recommend taking a look at the list of compatible models before making the purchase.

DO NOT BE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE OTHERS  A couple had been married for several years without a child. For the purpose of companionship, they bought a Rottweiler puppy, named it miley and loved her like a child. The dog had access to all the rooms in the house. The puppy grew to become a large, beautiful dog and had on several occasions saved the couples from robbery. Miley was always faithful, loyal and defended its owners against many dangers. Seven years later, the couple was blessed with the long awaited son. They were very happy with their son and naturally decreased the attention they had given to the dog. Miley felt neglected and began to get jealous of the baby. One day the couple left the baby sleeping peacefully in his cradle and went to the terrace to prepare a roast. They were shocked as they were heading to the nursery and saw miley in the hallway with a bloody mouth, wagging its tail. The dog's owner thought the worst, they pulled out weapons and began to beat...

Why do people pass out after donating blood when they have fasted?  I've worked in a blood bank. Not many people passed out while i worked there, it's quite rare, but for those who do, not eating/drinking enough (normal amounts) was the most common reason besides beein nervous.. If you haven't been drinking enough your blood volume falls. The fluid in your blood (plasma, mostly water) needs refill all the time, if not, it will "drain" (sweat, urine, etc). When the blood volume falls, the pressure falls. To prohibit this, the veins in your body constrict. That makes the volume of your veins to fall and the amount (volume) of blood has the same ratio to vein-volume, and the blood pressure is unchanged. If you're dehydrated the veins have constricted to try to keep the pressure up. If you add blood-donation to that, the volume falls even further. The veins can only constrict so much, and it might not be enough to keep the pressure at a normal level, you...
