Is the converse also true?

I have Casio FX-991MS on my desk

This

I use 4K Dell U2723QE monitor as USB-C Hub, charge my laptop, connect two laptops at once, RJ-45 ethernet, and 3.5mm plug

What is the FM transmitter?

I use old Raspberry Pi 1B as FM transmitter

My corporate VPN wouldn't connect to same public IP after 24 hours (I work from home). So I wrote a very crude bash script on Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (which also runs local DNS server), which would telnet into the router 5 minutes before my login time, and reboot the router

I am using RP4B 8GB for last one year as a main desktop computer. The OS is Ubuntu Mate (64-bit). The Raspberry Pi OS is too ugly for using as a desktop, in my opinion.

Pros:

1) Chromium with 40 tabs works quite well.

2) MiniDLNA serves 4K HDR videos to my Android TV over 2.4G Wi-Fi quite well.

3) I have an Aluminium Casing with Dual fans, and it works quite good. Noise is reasonably low.

Cons:

1) Some applications (like Jellyfin Server) do not work. YouTube 1080p is not smooth.

2) 10-bit HEVC encoded 1080p videos don't play quite well.

3) Connection to 5GHz Wi-Fi is not good. So I use 2.4G Wi-Fi.

4) My Logitech mouse stops working sometimes, though keyboard works. I have to remove the USB receiver and re-plug it.

Authy has all secret keys backed up. So you can install it on other phone and get back access. (Though it requires SMS or existing device to approve log in)

Ordered in Dec'21 at robu.in. They are still processing the order

Airtel Fiber for me. Came alive at around 9PM IST. Worked on VI though

I know this is irrelevant, but these are my two pennies. Apart from strong password and 2FA, I have restricted login only from my country. So can't login from other country, unless hacker knows which country I have set and uses that VPN. Also I have blocked login from Tor.

+1. Also WSJ is good. The Guardian website, not the paper.

Thanks for the recommendation
