The new air conditioner I just bought came with a little remote control, which I thought was cool, being an occasionally lazy sort of person who might just want to turn on/off the AC without having to get up. But much to my surprise, it seems I didn’t actually need the AC remote: My Tivo remote seems to control it as well. Or rather it turns it on and off when I press the “select” button. This isn’t a huge problem, since you don’t actually have to use the select button very often, but still mildly annoying.

Now if I could only get the AC to record stuff for me…
