Is there a device that allows me to use a typical TV remote for my pc?

Something like FLIRC but a more general one that I can buy from AliExpress? I've tried to search on AliExpress but couldn't find one such device. A simple infrared to USB receiver and simple programming that allows me to control mpc-hc with a standard tv remote.

Recommend me a pc game with great gameplay and storyline but I don't have to be very good with the language.

I've frequently get recommendations of tear jerkers or emotional type of games. But after playing them, I don't feel much or deeply touched, probably because my understanding of the knowledge isn't good. It isn't about mother/main language. I just want a good storyline where I don't have to read and listen a lot. Is there any?

What do you do with devices running on old Android (eg Android 8)?

Most answers that I get is it is not safe to run an old Android. So what do you do with such device? I have an old Redmi Go running Android 8 Go. (It's already slow on it's launch day.)

If your session ID is stolen, does that mean your Ms Authenticator is taken over too?

Imagine a hacker got your account. He can read your email. You have lots of login accounts tied to your Ms Authenticator app. Does that mean the hacker is now control of your Authenticator? Can he remove the 2FA of your Ms account and also use your Authenticator to generate TOTP code to login other websites?

Power button on H5 Flow (2024) isn't working. Does anyone successfully ordered and replaced one?

The case is only 1 year old. Power button is intermittent now. I press it at an average of once per day. It really has short lifespan. Does anyone know if NZXT sells this as spare part and replace it personally?

No remember me option when login in the launcher

I remember that wasn't the case years ago. I haven't used Epic for a long time. Last time, it always remembered me and only requested for my login when the launcher got updated to newer version. For the past few months (probably half a year?), Epic doesn't have the remember me option anymore. Is this normal?

How do I choose a USB-C cable that works with fast data transfer on Samsung phone?

I'm having an issue finding a working USB-C cable (prefer at least USB 5Gbps standard) for data transfer on Samsung phone. I'm not even talking about fast or slow because the wrong cable just totally means no data transfer at all, just charging. My Honor cable works with data transfer on Huawei/Honor as well as Poco phones, but not on my Samsung phone. I understand that various specs occur, especially for fast charging, but this is just too crazy. I tried my Samsung phone with a Dell USB-C cable that works perfectly fine with my external USB storage but not on all Samsung phones. It works with my Samsung A34, but not on an S24FE and S25FE.

I have a slow USB2.0 Ikea USB-C cable that works fine with all Samsung phones but it's too slow. I'm planning to buy a Ugreen USB4 cable but I'm worried that it doesn't work with all Samsung phones. I don't want to buy a cable that is OK for 10Gbps data transfer on an SSD usb storage, but not working on a Samsung S26.

(Please don't suggest wireless transfer)

How do I plan a trip to see a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket launch?

I'm planning for a week of holiday in Florida. Will land at Orlando, then take the Brightline train to Miami, then to my home country. My main purpose is to visit the Kennedy Space Center and to witness a rocket launch (SpaceX Falcon9). I have found KSC tour package (from Grayline) that picks up from hotels at Orlando theme park area. It's a one day tour and I'm OK. But my biggest concern is how do I get to see the rocket launch. I prefer to see it at the closest possible distance (for a tourist). I have navigated the KSC ticketing website to understand the rocket view package but I'm still confused. The SpaceX website has calendar for the launches but I don't know how to link that up with KSC tour. I have read about Playalinda Beach. Is it somewhere that I can easily go there with public transport, or at least an Uber? Will I have any issue getting an Uber because town like Titusville also seem quite far away from the Orlando city area.

I normally browse city maps in pdf. When I do a search of a place, I need the result to be shown/highlighted in the middle of the screen (regardless of zoom level). Currently, only Google Drive does that. I've tried mjpdf and it doesn't do that. Any recommendations? Prefer foss.
