LYC: The RF/IR "blaster" that I got last year for Christmas is paying off again. I put up these LED string lights to hold our Christmas cards this

year since our fridge isn't magnetic. Came with this weak-ass IR remote that would only work right in front of the strings. Took me about 10 minutes to get the blaster to learn it and it has no problem activating them from the main room. Now it is programmed to go on and off with our other christmas lights

I will be getting the cards out to the STers soon. Some maybe got them from years prior but I have this years list to do also

Your fridge isn't magnetic? I didn't think that was a thing. I just ordered a Broadlink for my living room fan and TV. - sycor Dec 4, 12:11 9
- Oddly enough, the sides are magnetic but not the front (Samsung I think). Can't get to the sides much though because it is recessed on both sides -- nm - oblique Dec 4, 12:20 3
  - just glue them to the fridge -- nm - decline Dec 4, 12:36 2
    - I could just glue them to the wall if I wanted to do that -- nm - oblique Dec 4, 12:36
    - OH! or spray paint the front of the fridge with magnetic paint! -- nm - decline Dec 4, 12:36
- Most stainless appliances are non-magnetic -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 12:13 3
  - Huh. I have a stainless fridge and just assumed it was. I've never tried because I didn't want to cover up the pretty stainless. -- nm - sycor Dec 4, 12:15 1
    - Actually wait I do have something on the front being held by a neodymium magnet, Whirlpool FTW! -- nm* - sycor Dec 4, 12:39
  - not ours! -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:14
- Paper mache fridges are all the rage. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:12
