The Saudi Arabian has connected 444 systems to a single television, making him the Guinness World Records holder for the feat.But how exactly are hundreds of consoles working on a single TV when most these days have only a few HDMI ports–let alone the fact old systems used different connections? According to Guinness World Records, Ibrahim utilizes roughly 30 RC switchers, 12 HDMI switchers, and other devices. Additionally, he created an Excel spreadsheet to help navigate everything, which he shows off in a video (seen below) posted on X.

The Mandalorian wrapped up its third season last year, and, as of now, Mando isn’t confirmed to return until 2026 in the film The Mandalorian & Grogu.

But people have pointed out that, for Ugluk to say this, it also means that restaurants and menus also exist in Middle-earth. And if that’s the case, what else may be on their menus?

As reported by Pop Verse, Wood used an example from Star Wars to make the point that everyone is thinking way too much about what …
