I have my phone hotspot. That's all. It's enough for what I need.
I could easily 'cast my phone to a big screen, but without a desktop mode there's no real point. I don't watch a lot of videos and I can see the phone itself well enough for typing things like this post.
I'm familiar with screencasting though, yes. I have a miracast dongle and even a chromecast dongle, though the latter is useless for me because I refuse to be shackled to an internet connection just to get it to relay audio/video locally.

So pricing is mainly your drive here to not have a home Wi-Fi?
Im trying to think if there’s a gadget somewhere which would convert a Wi-Fi signal from your phone into a LAN cable which you could then put into a traditional Wi-Fi router to “feed” the rest of your house.
It will probably lower your phone bandwidth and make the battery drain faster and then there’s the fact that if you join your own Wi-Fi from the point of where you‘re streaming …. You might create a black hole

Hmmm interesting discussion
A vinyl record or a cassette tape record might have more “bass” or the feeling of a “room”.
But digital might have the feeling of more ”crisp/stereo” sound.
‘What do you think ?

Yes I know what you mean about the ’richer’ sound or having that ‘warm’ feeling.
I also have a guitar as a hobby and I hook it up to an amp but I also have a gadget which I can record it into my computer.
The sounds are obviously very different. When I listen through my amp I get that studio/room sound but on headphones … it’s just different and YES people do play certain songs for ‘memories’. I have many good memories in many songs and while everything is digital via a headphone nowadays, I do miss the ‘rich’ sound of a cassette tape.
Now I dont even have a sound system because everything is headphones . I used to have a Bose surround sound system for music and movies and that was like 7 years ago I think.
I kinda transitioned to headphones/digital/wireless without realizing that I was transitioning.
‘But when I play back the songs of my childhood even tho I’m listening to them digitally, in my head, memories take me to the richer sound of the cassette tape and loud speakers

PS The music I was most recently playing was a lot of classical and J. S. Bach on earbuds with CD source was a treat. I want to say the title was "????pieces'. Then about 10 yrs ago while learning guitar and putting music on SD mem the sound just didn't cut it. I was playing country than mostly and preferred getting vinyl. The guy teaching me guitar was pretty good and I stink but a Johnny Cash piece we were using, I said to Dave, he has a cold and made this recording. Dave listened closer and agreed. My ear has always been great but I can not hear myself playing the guitar and very strange took till recently to play and hear properly. Customers used to pay me just to come verify their sound was ok.

Okay so there’s two topics here.
On the first one I would say that some memories are absolutely correct and “vivid”. It’s like Im there in the water, in the sights and smells. Very very strong vivid memories.
Some others tho are like water and get eroded with time. Kinda like the Grand Canyon being eroded by water.
Not sure why this happens but what I do realize is that I was blessed to have these experience and now I thank God for the life he gave me and for the life with Him now.

The memories you are thinking back on seem to be relatively recent.
Something else here....You are getting prompted to recall certain memories about sound. I don't recall ever being prompted to recall memories about sound but memories about taste, smell, and sight. 3 of 5 senses. Sight memory when I was 9 or 10 and a cloud in the sky looked like a picture of Jesus with crown of thorns which hung in our house. Don't recall the cloud vividly but where I was and where in the sky relative to where I sat was vivid. Smell and taste memories come on occasion but never anything vivid like exactly when and or where smell or taste was first stored in memory.
Hmm yes it’s a possibility.
‘But on some instances the mood is relaxed or the mood is fight or flight but that’s not what makes me remember a memory more than the other I guess.
