    nah, wont be doing anything based on some drama.
    the madison stuff is entirely unproven. anybody saying colin verified it, no he just said that she said the same thing. the leaked meeting sounded like a standard corporate meeting, but maybe a lot of people making a big deal about it never worked in that kind of environment before.
    the gamers nexus drama..... i mean ok yeah they screwed up and werent fully accurate and probably rushed stuff and blah blah. yeah but i mean is a company not putting the right cache for a cpu on a chart in a video enough for me to want to see the entire company crash and burn to the ground? nah, i'm not that vindictive. a lot of people seem to be tho, cool? lol, i mean if you live off drama and constantly need to villainize somebody so you can lash out online i guess the past few years have been an absolute joy for you.

    Being a human myself, I actually sympathize with the position LMG has been put in. Any chance I'd stop watching daily? Nope. Any chance I'd stop buying 'merch'? considering the clothes and water bottles I have purchased are leagues better than what I can get locally for 3x the price, I guess I'm just a sucker for quality.
     
    The whole GN calling out a handful of times LMG has made errors out of thousands of videos thing rings hollow for me as a fan of both channels. That type of thing is possible on any channel including GN. Does that change my opinion of either channels' overall content accuracy and quality? Nope, and GN attempting to set the precedent of LMG being the sole information source, while being in the same industry, is manipulative and caused me to lose more respect for GN than I expected.

    That might not be a bad idea. You can get some 2 in 1s for pretty cheap judging by a quick scan on Amazon. A 2 in 1 would let her keep the accessibility of a tablet, but gain you the troubleshooting of a computer with easier remote in options. The down side to Tobii and a laptop is that the eye tracker has to be mounted to the computer. I don't know how well it would stay on it in tablet form. 
    I haven't messed with Tobii. I went from TrackIR to VR for games. 
    Another option would be this. Are you an only child, or is there someone else that can poke in on mom when she needs help? If so troubleshooting and settings stuff up could be as simple as you being on the phone saying "push this, try that" and someone else going through the motions for mom.
     
    Edit: Also tagging @GOTSpectrum. They might have some more ideas, and are also UK based so they might have a bit more "UK based knowledge"

    So here's what I could find with some quick research:
    Resources from the NHS - IDK how the healthcare system works in UK, but this page has lots of links for requesting grants, talking to local council, groups to help you find equipment for these needs, etc. could be a good place to start
    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/care-services-equipment-and-care-homes/household-gadgets-and-equipment-to-make-life-easier/
    this one seems a bit more geared to mobility, but also mentions telecoms and home adaptations, so can't hurt to check
    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/care-services-equipment-and-care-homes/care-and-support-you-can-get-for-free/
    This one seems more general info, but has some links that might be useful
    https://www.verywellhealth.com/ms-technology-5225481#:~:text=For those with nonstandard speech,and other smart home devices.
    Here's the MS foundation page for their assistive tech program. Not sure if they operate in the UK, but found a few similar programs specific to the UK too
    https://msfocus.org/Get-Help/MSF-Programs-Grants/Assistive-Technology-Program
    Here's the UK specific ones
