Sleep paralysis is the worst, you feel the presence of demons around you.

I would like to try #2 but for some reason my 5900x doesn't have graphics so I literally need to buy a whole other GPU for this

The physical keyboard is just a tool. There are alternatives like speech-to-text software, virtual keyboards with swipe features, or stenotype.

The goal should be to use whatever is most effective and efficient for yourself, so if Gen Zrs are more used to touch screen, maybe they should invent a touch screen interface that you can use with the computer, maybe even incorporating the mouse somehow.

For me personally the touch interfaces right now are fucked up - I always tap the wrong letters on my phone, the auto-correct and suggestions used to compensate for this often times make it even worse, and swipe doesn't come up with the words I want, I often have to swipe multiple times. I can't imagine operating a computer like this, but maybe for Gen Zrs it's no problem.

Maybe in the future you just need to think the word and it appears on the screen, and typing would be obsolete.

funnily enough I was able to watch olympic replays on one of my city's (Hong Kong) official broadcast YouTube channels, specifically HOY TV, but all the commentary is in cantonese. But it's also region locked (I just tested it by trying a US VPN) so you need a VPN to a Hong Kong server.
