    I run TeamViewer on my laptop so I can remote control my Mom's computer whenever she does something sort of clueless on hers. This happens roughly twice a month where I need to fix or adjust something on her computer. I also have it on my smartphone since I can log into her computer from that way as well.

    That leads to my laziness.

    I'll connect my computer to my TV on occasion so I can watch NetFlix, YouTube, etc..... Usually when I crash on the couch. So now instead if sitting up and using the mousepad or the the mouse, I'll use TeamViewer to control my laptop without having to sit up or even move much from the couch.

    Yeah... I can be that lazy or just very clever?

    I use a Mexican maid to change channels for me. I have no idea why I spend so much time watching Univision.

    I don't see how this is any different than using the remote control on those television things people used to use to watch videos back in the dark ages.

    Also, I refuse to vote in the poll because of the lack of a teh baba option.

    Yeah, using your smart phone as a TV remote doesn't strike me as particularly lazy.

    I'm tempted to acquire similar software and then use my phone to control my tablet, to control my laptop, to control my desktop, to watch porn.

    Although, while my tablet and laptop are both running Windows 10, my phone is Android and my desktop runs Ubuntu. This may present some challenges.

    Hmm, I should get TeamViewer.

    Also, no Baba option. Poll invalid :bailey:

    (What ep of Dr Who is that in the pic? None of the Season 8 eps springs to mind from the still)

    Lazy would be using your phone to call someone else to change the channel or work the tablet. Unless that someone is bringing dinner and drinks as well.
