Throughout all of this explanation, you never really give us an idea of whether your desktop monitor is a separate unit, as you would have in a Mini, or an integrated unit, as you would have in an iMac.
I have a mini with a separate screen, and an HDMI switch so that I can do the whole job with just a single thunderbolt cable. But I gather that won't satisfy you. The only alternative I can think of is for you to install a remote service screen sharing program such as AnyDesk on both of your machines, and then have your home machine screen-share your laptop. It's clunky, and there will probably be some lag, but it's the only thing I can think of that would serve the wireless requirement. > On May 15, 2020, at 2:31 PM, Dinse, Gregg (NIH/NIEHS) [C] > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm sure this is a dumb question, but here goes.
