This is going to be painful for people in a way which I haven’t seen discussed here yet.

A year ago I went on vacation with my family, and the kids wanted to watch Netflix on VRBO‘s TV and so I logged in to my account on the tv. And of course I forgot to log it out when I left - so, predictably, the next people decided they hated my taste and went through and deleted all my likes and dislikes, and rated I swear 100 teen romances. I somehow got my account logged out of that TV, but the account was trashed and unrepairable so I lost about a decades worth of history and started a new one.

Afterwards, I thought I should’ve just cast from the kids iPad. And now that won’t be possible.

This is why I take a Chromecast with me on vacation. Put in the WiFi password and job done. Works better and faster than most smart TVs.

    I always bring a USB drive. All TVs play from USB.

Sometimes when I cast from apps to a TV it logs me into the TV. incredibly annoying.
