The screen on my laptop is broken, so I've been using the HDMI to connect to a monitor. Unfortunately, the HDMI socket is now on the brink, so I'll soon need another solution (preferably the laziest/cheapest possible one). I was thinking of getting a USB to HDMI connecter so I can run the video feed through that, but had a couple of questions first.
1: How do I know if the drivers I have to install for whatever cheap chinese crap I get off amazon will be full of aids? Any brands I can actually trust?
2: Once set up, will it run at startup like the HDMI does? It'll be kind of pointless if I have to set it up each time since the screen is broken.

Buy a cheap used computer $40 you retard. You look around on craigslist/facenook you may even find a free one ffs.

I'd rather keep using my mediocre computer than a dogshite one if possible. I'm also somewhat distrustful of used computers that haven't been confirmed wiped by a legit supplier.

Why not pay an electronics repair place like $40 to repair the hdmi port? It's going to end up better than doing some janky ass USB stuff

It'll cost me way more than that (UK) to repair, and I'm trying to resolve this in the cheapest and laziest way possible.
