Does the raspberry pi have a wifi adapter, and is it unused for your project?

If so, you can use your pi as an access point


no need for cables, you just connect your laptop to the pi's SSID.

Downside is that now your laptop doesn't have Internet access, which may be a deal breaker (unless you can plug your pi into a router and get access through it). You could just get a cheap USB wifi dongle for your laptop and use one interface for Internet, one for pi.

Hostapd is probably how you would go about this of you're interested ( https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software )

I'd move my left hand to the front handle...

It's relatively common for nice metal bikes to go the unfinished metal route...if they're made of titanium.

You're right, I should have specified "consumer ICE."

Feels like the death throes of the internal combustion engine, the supernova before they die out in common usage.

Or not.

Wasn't there a Steve Jobs interview where they asked what the iPad is for right after its release, and he did that Steve Jobs smirk and kind of said, "I don't know, we'll just wait and see how people use these"?

I feel like it's a similar approach here. The iPad certainly didn't displace all laptops, but I think it's considered to be a success.
