Jun 29, 2026, 9:44 PMI googled it and found a couple other cases of people running into this kind of remote and getting confused because they're trying to decode the IR or replicate it and THERE IS NO IR, IT IS LIES

it seems to be a clone of FCC ID 2AUSN-LXZK1021: LXZK-TX1021, a remote for lights, licensed in 2019

has anyone hacked the FCC and leaked all their confidential PDFs yet?
I'm not saying anyone SHOULD do that, or that I'm eagerly awaiting the collapse of the US government so that I can pick through the wreckage, but it would be nice for us reverse-engineers if someone would leak all these FCC PDFs that explain how shit works

@foone sorry I'm not Gen X I'm trying to delete it

Jun 29, 2026, 9:52 PM@foone it would be nice, having the internal photos is certainly nice but oftentimes they're unconscionably bad and you can't make out the markings on chips
a.k.a. Odiegreen@forgi.socialJun 29, 2026, 10:28 PM@foone they often leak it on their own. I've seen confidential PDFs in test reports open to the public...
ThatHumanBeingThatHumanBeing@vivaldi.netJul 1, 2026, 12:33 AM@foone if you were given control of a federal agency of your choice what would it be, and why would it be the FCC?

@ThatHumanBeing actually I've already answered this one before, and my answer was the United States Mint, because I have Ideas about how I'd fix the currency & coinage. well, "fix" is a strong word... "change" maybe.

@foone I forgot about your Mint ideas, I was thinking about you like to take advantage of the airwaves whenever the FCC can’t get mad because of a government shutdown
elektrobierelektrobier@mastodon.socialJul 1, 2026, 9:13 AM@foone we recently ran into a pair of dimmable switches used for USB lights. The remotes have a working IR LED but use radio too. The receiver itself is not even capable of receiving anything optical. We just found out, when we noticed one light turned on when we switched the other, couple rooms apart.
Jun 30, 2026, 12:01 AM@foone a flipper might be able to decode it.
Kerry Bentonkerrybenton@ioc.exchangeJun 30, 2026, 12:46 AM@foone I bought some lights similar to this and also went looking for ways to decode and replicate the remote & it looked spotty but maybe possible. I’ll admit, I was also mad that it wasn’t IR -_-
