Phone screen doesn't turn on (using HDMI-USBc Pixel 8)

I have an old pixel 8 that has a dead display from damage. The phone still works as I can feel vibrations from it when I hold the power button, unlock phone, etc.. is there any way I can use an HDMI to USB C to display it on a TV so that I can transfer photos and game saves without going into the settings of the phone itself to set up mirroring? I know it's a long shot.

I am not gonna spend hundreds of dollars to get the display fixed. I'll cut my losses with my old data being stuck on my phone if the only real way is to fix the display or figure out how to blindly navigate menus without a display lol

Phone sent text message that I didn't manually send

I have a pixel 9 phone that I left at home while I went to work. At a specific time my phone sent a picture message (RCS) of my roommate's cat that I took yesterday. But I didn't get home until about 15 or so minutes after the text was sent.

The weird thing is that I apparently sent the same photo yesterday at the exact same time as the one that was sent today. She showed me a screenshot of our RCS chat and showed it showed the photo from me along with a text message, but when I looked at our chat on my phone that photo doesn't show up with the text.

I take pictures of her cat often and send them to her frequently so I must have sent it yesterday as I did have my phone on me at that time but I just don't consciously remember since it happens so often. But why would it have sent again today at the same time of day as yesterday? Is it possible to check if I accidentally scheduled a send or something? I know how to use scheduled messages and I definitely didn't use that feature recently. I'm very confused

As in a game based on a movie or something that you didn't expect to have good music.

(Gonna have to say no Goldeneye because every track in that game is UNsurprisingly top notch)

"Who Dump" from the PS1 Grinch game actually goes pretty damn hard. Plus it's name is hilarious.
