How involved of a setup is RDP if most of your systems aren't Windows? I haven't fallen far down the rabbit hole of remote device management, outside of some basic familiarity with SSH. (One particular use case I've been itch

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on USB4 and WiFi 6E - and avoiding new devices for the time being - for this exact reason. My dream setup involves a litany of dumb displays in different form factors - VR, tablet, desktop, or whatever el

The problem is that these platforms have, in a very meaningful sense, taken the place of communications infrastructure. The bulk of us use Messenger or iMessage/FaceTime or some other over-the-top service for things we would have other
