It’s understandable if you’ve been teetering on whether or not to pull the trigger on a Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL. The reports of quality control issues are hard to ignore.

Great, another reason to be lazy! If there’s one thing that Adam Sandler’s previous movie, Click, taught us is to value time—especially the little things. Okay, I’m going a little bit overboard with this introduction but the fine analogy I was making here is between the remote control used in the movie and a new app called Dijit.
If you have an Android smartphone or tablet that has an IR port, you can use Dijit to convert your gadget into a universal remote control—for all your electronics at home.
