  • Smart TVs and streaming devices (Samsung's TizenOS and Roku devices)
  • Smart appliances (Samsung's smart refrigerator)
  • Digital signs and billboards
  • My car stereo (Sony XAV-AX6000)

Yup. Have been running an FTP server on my Kobo Touch over its WiFi. Kinda neat.

I was referring specifically to Remarkable-brand devices... but Kobos are nice too, with that company also being indifferent to aftermarket hacks.

Ah, "Remarkable" is a brand, never heard of them and never would have guessed as the "R" is uppercase at the start of a sentence

Oh, good point. If I was being brand-proper I'd spell it "reMarkable"... but, lol, not doing that.
