My father is the most technologically illiterate man on the planet but he’s a TV fiend. The combination of turning the TV and cable box on and making sure it’s on the right input is too much for him. If it doesn’t ‘just work’ there is hell to pay.

I programmed a harmony remote for him years and years ago. When they discontinued them I went and bought three of the identical model. We have two left. Guess I’ll be opening them up and pushing the programming to all of them the next time I’m back.

If it runs slow on my laptop then there isn’t a chance it will run at all pushed to the cloud. Our cloud servers are…not great. Single core 1.75gb boxes compared to my 16 core, 32gb laptop. We can do a lot with them though. Just takes a decent amount of tinkering. In some ways the cloud was the best thing for performant code.

OpenRGB was my solution to almost all my RBG woes. It doesn’t work for everything but they have a compatibility page and it’s like 5-10mb.
