   @foone I got halfway through doing this with my phone before realizing I had no way to photograph it

     you will not regret giving your USB device a serial port

     I guess that's a good (or at least not terrible?) way to do it. It's slightly more secure, you're not going to get hacked by someone SSHing into your tablet because you're on their wifi, but anyone with physical access can SSH in if they need to

     still you could have skipped all of this and just made it a serial port. you don't need authentication if it's a serial port.

     the SSH is also weird: It's not a fixed password. It apparently generates a random password, and if you go into the menus (Menu->Settings->Help->Copyright and licences) it'll tell you the SSH password it generated

     that's an interesting approach to PC connectivity. Why be a serial port or a mass storage device when you can just be ETHERNET, with a virtual network to the tablet.

     Huh. The Remarkable2 tablet has a USB port for charging, but if you plug it into a PC it shows up as an ethernet adapter.

     So then you can SSH into it.
