My brain is telling me this model would not be as cool as it looks on the box, but the rest of me is saying "I WANT THIS RIGHT NOW!"

(via The buttons on Zenith’s original ‘clicker’ TV remote were a mechanical marvel - The Verge)

The Space Command is a product of mechanical engineering rather than electrical. By pressing a button on the remote, you set off a spring-loaded hammer that strikes a solid aluminum rod in the device, which then rings out at an ultrasonic frequency. Each button has a different length rod, thus a different high-frequency tone, which triggers a circuit connected to a microphone in the television to finish the command.

fascinating old-school tech

A Letter From Mark Twain to Nikola Tesla

On November 8, 1898, Nikola Tesla made a public announcement of his wirelessly-controlled boat the same day his U.S. Patent was granted to him. Wireless was still very much in its infancy, so the announcement was beyond the comprehension of the layperson. Tesla described his invention as having many uses, including wirelessly controlled boats, vehicles, or aerial devices of any suitable kind to be used as life dispatch, or for carrying letters, packages, or other provisions. It could also make it easier to establish communication with inaccessible regions and explore such regions in the same, and for many other scientific, engineering, or commercial purposes. But the greatest value of his invention was its possible use in warfare for, for his own reason, it had certain and unlimited destructiveness. He could load a boat with explosives and direct it toward any enemy, and by the sheer destructive effect, he would force the opposition in retreat.

On November 17, 1898, Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain, wrote a letter to Tesla regarding his wireless-controlled boat:

Dear Mr. Tesla

Have you Austrian & English patents on that destructive terror which you have been inventing?—& if so, won't you set a price upon them & commission me to sell them? I know cabinet ministers of both countries—& of Germany, too; likewise William II.

I shall be in Europe a year, yet.

Here in the hotel the other night when some interested men were discussing means to persuade the nations to join with the Czar & disarm, I advised them to seek something more sure than disarmament by perishable paper invite the great inventors to contrive something against which fleets and armies would be helpless & thus make war thenceforth impossible. I did not suspect that you were already attending to that, & getting ready to introduce into the earth permanent peace & disarmament in a practical & mandatory way.

I know you are a very busy man, but will you steal time to drop me a line?

Sincerely yours,

Mark Twain

TV-B-Gone

"... is a universal remote control device for turning off a large majority ... of the available brands of television sets in 2015. It was created to allow people in a public place to turn off nearby television sets. Its inventor has referred to it as "an environmental management device"."

would you rather use a pantyless sub's remote control vibrator to make him cream his pants at the gym or at the club?

I feel like the gym would be a pretty fun place cause you can only pretend to be panting from the hard exercises for so long, and you'd probs mess up your reps and look dumb if I'm distracting you with the toy. People don't necessarily pay attention to you at first but you're still really exposed and they'd notice after a while.

But on the other hand, a club is a packed place with a lot of people around you, + loud music and colorful lights adding another form of stimulation. You feel hidden because it's pretty dark, but also so close to a ton of other people...

I like both places.

Honestly, I'd use a remote controlled toy anywhere, it's one of my favorite activities 🤭

I wanna go on a date where I wear remote controlled panties and you watch me as I get a pedicure done. See how long I can last without *silently* finishing in the massage chair while my feet are being touched 👀

#ThrowbackThursday The world’s first television remote control. The wireless “Flash-Matic” was invented by Zenith engineer Eugene Polley in 1955.

"This Zenith was the first set sold with wireless remote control...This system uses Photoelectric cells in the four corners of the screen to control On/Off, mute and channel selection. Since it used regular visible light to control the functions (the remote was basically a flashlight), it was subject to all sorts of interference from room lighting or even sunlight if it was positioned facing a window.These problems spelled doom for this system and it was only used for one year. It was followed by Zenith's improved ultrasonic "Space-Command" system in 1956." -- VintageTVsets.com
