A lot of OEMs will have a shortcut to enable screen reader mode even if the display is cooked (I think maybe both volume buttons at once for 5s?). OTG keyboard can be a lifesaver too, and many modern phones will let you use a USBC to HDMI cable. Way easier if you've pre auth'd for ABD though!

I don't know how scientifically valid this is (I hope very) but when a friend told me my USB hub / switcher would be introducing a lot of input lag, I bought a USB to eth adaptor and did a few thousand pings to the router, from direct to mobo and then from via the switcher. Unsurprisingly, there was no measurable latency (I had to use a 3P tool because Windows wouldn't go lower than ms by default).

I am aware that admitting to using Windows in these hallowed halls is a terrible sin, but the anecdote was too relevant to pass up and that's an important detail for anybody looking to repro.

> I know so many people who made that same argument, if you can call it that, about smartphones.

Sure, but people also told me I'd be using crypto for everything now and (at least for me) it has faded into total obscurity.

The biggest difference for me is that nobody (the companies making things, the companies I worked for...) had to jam smartphones down my throat. It made my life better so I went out of my way to use it. If you took it away, I would be sad.

I haven't had that moment yet for any AI product / feature.

> Why ... wade through dubious results, etc when you can just instantly get the result you want in the format you want it?

Funnily enough, this is exactly how I justify Googling stuff instead of asking Gemini. Different strokes I guess!

Sonarr and Radarr are the big ones. Tracks new content (in these cases, TV shows and movies) and auto downloads as they become available.
