Bought a $20 streaming stick and it saved my weekend road trip

I grabbed a cheap Roku stick for my hotel TV last month and it turned a boring room into a mini movie marathon setup. The remote didn't even pair right at first, but after 10 minutes of fiddling it worked fine. Anybody else ever toss money at a gadget that just barely works but totally pays off in the end?

Did you try putting it in the back of the TV instead of the side port? I did that once and spent like 20 minutes thinking it was broken. It's funny how the jankiest gadgets end up being the most clutch for stuff like that.

Janky gadgets being clutch" is exactly the problem. I'd rather have something that works right the first time.
