On: Android developers no longer need Windows USB drivers

I just had a strong use case: a broken screen.

A combination of Google Assistant, Talkback, USB-C-to-USB-A-Adapter and Keyboard, a Bluetooth keyboard, scrcpy, Anydesk and a new Pixel phone for practicing helped get some data off the device and even do a migration to the new phone. Needed all of the above and a lot of trial and error and time!!

I keep a copy of scrcpy around for exactly this. It's saved me twice now, and helped me rescue some data from a friend's phone, too.
