I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

        Manufacturers have gotten smart to that, if you don’t agree to the terms you may not get the full features. Not just the smart features.

        I kinda disagree here - I have no problem using smart lights, etc., as long as they’re controlled by a non-cloud system like HomeAssistant. This just doesn’t seem to be an option for more complex devices.

          Agreed, “smart” isn’t what matters, it’s more connected and in control, with Internet optional, no proprietary app or weird protocol mandatory.

      FWIW using an Android video projector with VLC connecting to uPnP server, only my video files availble. Otherwise can use its HDMI input but as-is it’s all wireless.
