How To Pause Unwanted Apps & Bloatware On Your Android Device (And When You Should)

There was a time a few years ago that I really pushed back at the idea of needing a remote for the living room any longer. The thought process went something like this: if I can share anything up to the big screen from my phone, tablet, or Chromebook, why in the world would I bother with another device, another remote, and another UI to navigate?
