For those like me that find this in Everything.

"It can do all sorts of things, from emulating RFID and NFC cards, to analyzing radio protocols, imitating remote controls, and much more."

I just wanna switch sports channels to adult swim at a bar.

all you need for that is a smartphone with an "ir blaster" and some form of universal remote app.
i used to have a galaxy s5 that could do that.

unfortunately ir blasters became a rarity and you'll have to look for modern smartphones that still have them.

i also remember keychain tools like the TV-B-Gone,
but those can only turn tvs off

Loved my V20 with its replaceable battery and IR blaster. I get the push towards non-replaceable batteries for design and profit reasons, but an IR blaster is just an led, no? Why remove that?

It’s basically like a hacker/tinkerer/security toolkit that looks like a little toy :)
