Or it’s so I can talk to her instead of ignoring her…….

I get it, there’s a fancy piece of equipment and you cant find a use for it, so now you insult the people who point out the extremely obvious answer you missed.

I was only trying to be funny, apologies. I thought it was ludicrous enough that it'd pass. Channeling some boomer humour.

Seriously though, I do understand the appeal of it, just not the appeal-to-price ratio. £200 is a lot of money for a glorified screen mirroring device. It's not that it's overpriced per se (it's probably about right in terms of the cost of the hardware), just that I don't understand how it can be worth it with that functionality at that price point.
