We’re all the way back around to IR diodes now? Is this just early 2000s retro stuff, and we’re going too get physical keyboards on our phones again soon?
My newish Xiaomi has an IR diode which is very useful to switch the AC on or off when I can’t be bothered to find the remote, and to mute TVs in restaurants.
Sorta bullshit from the same lab that hyped their night time solar that works but is thermodynamically impossible to be practical.
Flash an ir diode with encrypted data and because encrypted data looks like noise, you can’t tell that the data isn’t just heat noise.
That’s it.
They invented a bunch of hype words to get press because unfortunately that’s how labs get money these days.

It has a 3.5mm audio jack too.
