Just because you can use your phone as a streaming box doesn’t mean you should

As I write this, I’ve been nomadic for over a month while my family and I transition to a new house. That’s meant a lot of time in hotels, to the extent that we brought an Apple TV 4K with us to improve our entertainment options. Although hotel TVs are slowly become more modern, I’d rather not sign into public devices, and Apple’s hardware will always be snappier than what a chain is willing to pay for.
