I’m crying right now because my remote control has been gone for a week and you have to turn on your tv!!!

This is awesome when you walk in the house, TV is on but you don’t know where the remote is!!!! If it’s powered off you can’t see it on the network so you can’t turn it on tho 🤷🏻‍♂️ do better Samsung! Leave a sleeping BIOS chip that talks to the network while powered off
