   There should be an open standard to stream something RDP-like to in-room devices over bluetooth, so you can use your phone as a touch screen to set up things like printers and wifi routers without installing any evil fucking corporate app.

     @FortyTwo you mean this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Printing_Protocol

     Completely different from what I'm talking about. I want to use my phone as a UI to control a device in the room, as if the device itself had a touch-screen. You implement the menu software etc on your device, but don't need to include the screen which is expensive and only used once or twice a year.

     @Sophistifunk this is a good idea but will never eventuate. These evil companies love having some shit arse app on your phone.

     @Hewy perhaps. But it would still be hella useful for home-hackers.

     @Hewy it’s not the first time I’ve wished for this to exist, but doing exactly that recently reminded me of it :)
