so I know the remote for my Apple TV (and proper tv) is here somewhere. I had my hands on it even and put it down, which means I will certainly come across it as I organize, but for now it is lost in the move. thing is. how do you connect it to the wifi so that I can use my iPhone as the remote if you don’t have a remote?? WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY it appears. but I’m weirdly proud that I managed it.

#I had to connect it to my modem with a LAN cable #but because of how things are positioned I ended up having to bring my tv over to my modem too #bc my computer wouldn’t act like a straight up monitor 😒#so I’m over in the corner connected by tiny LAN and HDMI cables but with it connected to the modem I couldn’t set up a wifi connection #bc it was like ‘we’re on the ethernet. what’s your problem?’#so i had to program my other OTHER tv remote (bc this one is wherever the Apple TV remote is)#so when I disconnected the LAN I would still have a remote working #so it’s like I used my remote app to set up a workaround remote so I could use the workaround remote to connect to my remote app #ANYWAY #I’m watch tv on a tv in a real chair and suddenly the world doesn’t seem so bad #(I was really melting down earlier this week. but. we’re keeping on. we’re trucking.)
