What is the device you want, but that does not exist?
I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

A television screen you can turn on and off without the remote. A mobile phone that has buttons on the back. A magic stick that can send my husband to the cornfield when he won't leave me alone.
I am fascinated by ow many answers I have seen on here were once a thing we could do, ten, twenty years ago, and can't any more. Like the TV with a goddamn switch on it so we can turn it off without a remote.
Yes, thank you! That was my sentiment, exactly
Most TVs I think still have a few buttons, usually hidden on the edge or back, which allow you to turn it on/off, source, and volume.
If you have a Chromecast with Google TV, cast a video from any app on your phone will turn on the TV if you setup the Chromecast to control your TV. I have mine setup such a way. With my Samsung TV and soundbar, connected via optical audio, the TV and the soundbar both turn on when casting a video.
