It may have been part of test, but I had free wifi on a Delta flight in December from Chicago to Miami. Probably OK for light http. Tried ssh and couldn't keep a connection up long enough to be useful.

My first PC was a 486DX50 from the bargain bin (with no box or accessories) at Best Buy. I never had a fully new system again, as each newer configuration still had many parts of the old ones. Very Ship of Theseus.

The Russians have worked on this -- It was public more than 20 years ago. I would guess they (and the US too) have some capabilities to put commsats back up in an emergency with sub launch via modified SLBM. https://archive.ph&#

If you just need a tiny, fanless board that runs linux, like-new Wyse3040 can be had in any quantity you like for ~$30 - $40 (ethernet only, though). Wyse5010 is a bit bigger and more capable (and has built-in wifi) around the same price.
