This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
My newish Xiaomi has an IR diode which is very useful to switch the AC on or off when I can't be bothered to find the remote, and to mute TVs in restaurants.
It has a 3.5mm audio jack too.
I used to love turning town loud TVs in bars back when IR blasters were common.
