Some day we won't have cell towers or wifi or cable modems or fiber to
the premises, just one universal wireless system for everything. Data
transport is a mess now.

I just opened a new engineering office. I had to get an internet
provider (we went with a MonkeyBrains dish on the roof), a 10-port PoE
switch, a mild nightmare of local interconnect and CAT5 wiring to
various offices, a wifi router, and all sorts of plywood and shelves.
Envision treks to Loews.

There is now fiber in front of my door, I declined
Using a Huawei USB stick plugged into a Raspberry Pi4 8 GB now as internet connection.
As many systems offline as possibe (anti hacking).
No WiFi either atm (I can switch it on if needed).
Of course my smartphone has its own internet from a different provider,
for redudancy, as I can take out the smartphone card, put it in the Huawei USB stick, all online again.
And I can also put that Huawei USB stick in my laptop and have internet almost everywhere in Europe

I see about 20 wifs's from my office, two wide-open. I guess we didn't
need to get our own internet connection.

We hung a big TV on the wall next to a big whiteboard, for
conferences. It took about 10 minutes mucking with the TV remote to
get it to accept an HDMI input. Layers and layers of ads and services
and terms-and-conditions nonsense to get past. The whiteboard just
worked.

I bought a new big Samsung TV last April it was I think.
7680x4320 resolution, build in sat receiver and DVB-T2 (terrestrial) receiver...
3 HDMI ports, Ethernet, 55 inch...
USB port for harddisk (4 TB connected to it now).
The remote has very few buttons, all menu navigation cursor movement.
Have some cheap satellite box connected to it..
No problem to use it as white board I think?
Viewing angle is limited (reflections).
Strange thing is that the remote works with RF, not IR (you can control it from an other room..)
I have a little handheld remote keyboard with cursor keys now connected to one of my Raspberry Pi4s that can do things on the screen,
output from that Raspberry via HDMI to the Samsung should be no problem.
Setup of the Samsung was 5 minutes... Well for me that is ....
Was more difficult to get it out the box and place it ...
Have not even tried all options...
Uses less power than my old smaller TV set...
Better speakers too, 60 W audio.
