Defog Outside Mirrors
Chalk up another accidental feature found on our Infiniti G37x. During a recent trip to North Carolina in which it rained almost the entire time (yuk), the windshield was fogging up. So were the outside mirrors, a condition I had never experienced before. My Chief Navigator (Chef Elaine) took to clearing the windshield and accidentally hit both the front and rear defrost buttons. That cleared the fog on the windshield and I noticed a few minutes later that the outside mirrors were also cleared. It turns out our car is equipped with the outside mirror defrost option that we had no clue even existed.
Maybe I should spend a few hours reading the owner's manual...

FireTV Live Sources
I ran across the Amazon FireTV "Live TV Sources" feature quite by accident, missing my intended key and pressing the button with a TV symbol instead.
My FireTV Cube came with the five sources seen in the picture below which if you're a fan of "channel surfing" you can scroll through over 600 channels looking for something new (or perhaps something old). To this list, I added Plex and Tubi then sorted the sources so the two largest, freevee and YouTubeTB, were at the bottom of the list. I'm not sure how often I might use this feature, but it's nice to have it available.
The best thing I found while exploring this feature is that "Kung Fu", the 1970s series starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine is available on Plex and it's one show that I've wanted to watch again. It's the right time of year to have binge-able content.
