Kodi can do this with the number buttons on a TV remote.

note that it can do it but whether it actually does or not depends on your individual install and if the CEC demons are cooperative.

T9 shouldn't be able to help you type passwords! It's predictive.

I think OP means that you can e.g. press the 1 button two times to type a B.

A remote that could do this would be awesome. Using arrow keys to go through the letters is pain

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

You mean press 2 twice to get b?

Yes, it's been a while obvs :D

[-] JayGray91@piefed.social 4 points 18 hours ago

Yeah in my country where most people doesn't speak English on the daily disabled the prediction and just typed like that on T9 dialpads. Can even text in class easily with a hand under the table

I've got this setup on my car stereo (android based): Cheap numpad from alibaba with mechanical keys (around 10 Euros) T9 keyboard app from fdroid. Types in addresses into comaps way faster and safer than the screen keyboard and can navigate my mp3 folders easily to play music.

Wait, there are T9 remotes??

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

A long long time ago, cable tv remotes had over 50 buttons.

TV remote with T9 buttons

I think it’s a joke but this would be a real game changer if so

[-] cm0002@suppo.fi 1 points 2 hours ago

Lol they actually do make "universal" remotes with oodles of buttons that work with all the standard streaming boxes

I picked up a used Sony TV (Android TV) and the standard remote is what you'd expect, but it didn't come with it so I decided to see if there was one with buttons I could buy instead when I was looking for it's replacement

Imagine my surprise when there was lmao

I also saw some for Rokus and firetvs

Joke's on them, I'm not stupid enough to connect my TV to wifi

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 8 points 21 hours ago

The TV will only use of for ads and enshittification updated.

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

But then how is it suppossed to see your jellyfin setup? Just block the TVs mac address in your router.

[-] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago

Ever heard of an HDMI cable? just use the TV as a monitor

[-] BladeFederation@piefed.social 6 points 15 hours ago

A trusted streaming box without ads. It will stream far better and not monitor you.

[-] cm0002@suppo.fi 1 points 2 hours ago

You'll still have to connect it to the network and it'll (probably) have its own remote

[-] halfapage@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

regretfully it seems that some millenials have entered their cursive age

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I'm an older-millenial and when I was a kid, I thought cursive was just faster/more efficient. We were forced to use cursive throughout elementary school, but in middle school we could choose to use print. Peer pressure got me to switch to print cause nobody understood why I still chose to write in cursive (and shamed me, as kids be doing)

So now my print still looks like a kindergartener (cause that's when I was forced into "cursive-only"), and when I switched back to print in middle school, "typed reports" became standard

And now I can't really remember my cursive, and my print handwriting still looks like a kid. At least my cursive was legible and pretty when I was good at it... and faster. I'm not bitter lol

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 5 points 23 hours ago

Wait, there are still t9 remotes that work with modern TVs?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

000000000

what i win

[-] abcd@feddit.org 3 points 21 hours ago

Come on, the good old times are over. I could use it immediately, the muscle memory still holds all the characters without thinking.

We now have to put in passwords with the arrow/ok buttons. On a sadistically designed keyboard that is ordered alphabetically instead of the classic QWERT… layout everybody is used to. What a time to be alive

Yes I’m looking at you Amazon!
