I'm honestly pretty light on any emotion except anger. But I don't care enough to be anxious, and I'm pretty confident I'm not depressed. I'm reasonably unhappy about the state of the world (and my country), but I wouldn't equate that to depression.
I also pulled the little contact pads off of the back of the Netflix button and the other pairs services buttons that are a fixture on my remote that I don't use. I kept accidentally hitting them and it would rip me out of whatever content I was watching and send me to a service I didn't subscribe to.
I prefer using tape to cover the underlying traces because it's a reversible process, it could help if you're planning to sell the TV or if a button-remapping tool gets developed later.
The design of these particular buttons didn't allow for that. That's usually what I prefer too.
The button itself didn't have any conductive material, it was a small piece of metallic material on the PCB, that when pressed, deflected to connect the circuit. The rubber/polymer buttons just mechanically pushed down on the small metal disc that made that contact happen.
It was easy enough to pull the small disc off of the PCB, but I don't think the process can be reversed, or at the very least, I don't think I'll be able to keep track of the items removed in order to reverse it.
I don't actually plan on replacing the TV at all. It's job might change, from my main TV to a spare TV in the office or basement or something, but I don't think I'll be getting rid of it until it stops functioning.
Is…is that not normal idle behavior? Like, my fingers will trace lines on stuff I'm holding without me really giving it any attention. Drumming rhythms on a surface with my fingertips is an option too.
Anyone do this with pushbutton phone numeric pads? In numeric order, in columns left to right, then an “X”, then 2,6,8,4 and the zero. It rang when I did that as a kid, figured I “called China” or something, hung up in a panic.

Why was the OK button not pressed?

Because we're not OK

I would like to take this moment to ask anyone that DON'T have anxiety and depression right now to come forward and speak
WalterLego@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 305d
Here I am. I was fine, then I had a crisis, now I'm fine again.

I don't? I don't think?

I still do this.

Not anymore.

You can rebind the key to do something else, needs an app though
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 306d
I was unable to find a way.
In any case, the buttons don't work anymore and I'm fine with that.
Burninator05@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 306d
So you're saying its impossible. Like when I had to sign up for Bixby to make the Bixby button do something else.
InFerNo@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 306d
No, I'm saying it's possible. It's not like signing up to bixby, what are you saying??

I thought everybody did that stuff
qarbone@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 306d
Yeah, I don't know why this would translate to mental illness?
SirSamuel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 305d
I'm also poor, but Medicaid actually isn't terrible. I'd be completely boned without it tho. Like, no insurance at all
Lazylazycat@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 305d
Maybe not mental illness but this is definitely a stim for me.

Most CASIO calculators have a test mode where you press all buttons except ON in order: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljj4pv69yzI&t=14 (Warning: Shitty music)
TaterTot@piefed.social · 12 pts · 307d
The correct order for the arrows is up, down, left, right, ok. Or even the Konami code if you are feeling cheeky.
Otherwise, yeah, you nailed it.

What's wrong with the OK button? Why did you skip it?
udon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 305d
Also the arrow buttons are touched in the wrong order imho but ok
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 305d
Because I'm not OK and I refuse to pretend.
Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 305d

PieMePlenty@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 306d
No good, you touch a button twice.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org · 3 pts · 305d
And avoid one nearby. That's not anxiety but psychopathic behavior.
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 305d

I go in between the buttons to cut them into 1 button tall max slices.

why so mad? also just bc you don't find it funny doesn't mean others feel the same way.
