      I use a USB card reader to back up my captures to my server and my Xbox's media storage. I use the Switch with my Xbox One's HDMI pass through, so I can still watch the captures, and I can use multitasking with the Xbox. It's the next best thing to having native support for things like Web browsing and Spotify.

    If you have the console updated, tap the Home button twice to zoom in on the screen. This works really well in games, too. It obviously isn't convenient when playing, but it can be very useful for reading text when you don't need to move (in menus, turn-based games, etc). For instance, I was playing Mortal Kombat 11 in handheld mode, and had a hard time reading what the tutorial wanted me to do, or how to unlock certain skins etc. No problem! Just tap Home button twice to zoom in, and now I could read the text easily enough.

      Not to mention, you can access airplane mode through the quick settings menu. You don't need to go all the way into the regular settings menu. Plus, it's actually kind of odd that you can have wireless stuff enabled when airplane mode is enabled since the whole point of airplane mode is to turn all that stuff off.
