I had one in the seventh grade, me and a buddy. Convinced the teacher it was just a fancy calculator. We would “beam” test answers to one another.

I got mine my freshman year in college. At Devry they had some fancy projectors in all the classrooms. They all used IR and there was an IR remote app that let you clone IR signals. I had a lot of fun.

I had a LG android with an IR blaster for a while, so much fun. Swapping the channel on the game at the bar during pivotal moments was such fun. Absolute chaos.

Wow that sounds like so much fun I may just have to order an ir blaster on Amazon today.

It was built into LG phones and tablets, so I don't know if you'll have the same experience.

I had the HTC M8 which also had one internally. There is all sorts of options on Amazon though that can plug in externally via 3.5mm or USB C(compatible with both Android and iPhone).

The Mate 20 and bv9800 seem to be the last devices to have this capability

I convinced my teacher I could take notes on it... it didn't work out as well as i imagined.

LOL yeah even taking notes on a modern iPad is still not quite better than paper.
