Maybe you don’t have an Apple TV. Maybe your TV is from 2012 and thinks “smart” means having a remote that works. Don’t fret, my friend. You have a secret weapon: a Chromecast or an Amazon Fire Stick.
These little $40 dongles plug into your TV’s HDMI port. Then, you use an app on your Mac called “Just Stream” or a similar tool to send your screen. It’s like using a different language to order a pizza, but the pizza still arrives. It works, it’s cheap, and it saves you from buying a new TV.
Just make sure your Mac and the dongle are on the same Wi-Fi network. If they aren’t, they’ll argue like an old married couple. “You’re not on channel 5!” “Well, you’re not on channel 5!” It’s a mess. Keep them together.
