wireless adb allowing me to open a adb shell on the device locally is just kinda wacky i didnt think I'd be allowed this level of permission.
@lyncia iirc the problem with that for me was that you need a wired adb connection to tell it to enable wireless, and that doesn't survive a reboot. so when my USB C connector failed on my pixel 2 i had to use an SSH daemon and the fact that my phone was already rooted to save myself
@wyatt oh pixel 2 gosh I need to read slower
@lyncia yeah i have a 9 now that i still haven't fully moved to because getting all my old crap working on it was so annoying for the reasons you described
it was a gift i didn't ask for, i was fine on my 4 :\
