PSA: Every Damn Thing is a Computer Now - FrodoSwaggins - 02-07-2025
Amazon Fire Stick? COMPUTER. Roku? COMPUTER. LG TV? COMPUTER.
High end USB C cable with chips in the connectors? Technically a computer (I dunno feel free to Ask Jeeves on that one.)
Anyway, I feel like people don't know that all of their phones, tablets, TVs (smart), and streaming sticks can accept a keyboard, mouse, and even stuff like a gamepad and USB hard drive.
Sometimes you'll need an OTG hub or cable that plugs in through the power port (OTG stands for on the go). Other times you can connect directly or wirelessly.
Like I said this includes your smart TV, check it out:
