    Thats a common problem, same with printers.

    I regularly have a hard time navigating the configuration options of TVs or stuff like that.

    Electronics manufacturers: You know you REALLY fucked up your UI when somebody paid to do programming cannot easily program your device...

    Besides, what's up with modern TVs / cable boxes etc. no longer offering the option to rearrange channels to your liking? Wtf!?!

    @mksana even better TVs are those that let you do it for 2h, but completely reset the list when their firmware updates.

    Yeah almost threw it out the window...

    How about a wireless printer? I heard it is the best test for any tech skill

    @Nanos i have a wireless bulb( lifx), works great, and a wireless printer.

    I use the printer only with my phone though NFC so fuck it.
    I keep forgetting to give it a damned static ip

    @Nanos I have a cheap ass samsung M2020, lase b/w

    Only jams when the paper is wrinkled and has never stopped printing due to dry ink, tonner FTW.

    I believe the trick to an easy IT life is to buy the right tech for your needs.

    @Nanos yeah, i also normally go for the cheapest shit first, then I go for whatever makes more sense budget/quality/features.

    For instance, I got a smartwatch, the misfit vapor v1, for around 160usd, when other similar watchers are above 300 use, and I am happy with it.

    I also got a tomtom fitness tracker before that one, for about 60 use, it sucked, lasted about a year, lesson learned
