You want a landline?
You might have missed it, but nowadays phones have large displays and fast processors, even cameras and microphones and other sensors.
Yeah they're ready-to-go touchscreen interfaces/displays that can be implemented in tons of ways. I've been thinking about setting up my old Note 4 as a touch screen interface for my 3D printer, and old tablets as wall mounted interfaces for Home Assistant, which are just two possibilities.
If I were to tell someone from 70 years ago, "hold on let me get my phone," while talking about taking a picture, they would think I'm nuts.
70? Try 20
I was poking fun at the seeming desire for a physically tethered phone as to power a device without a battery, it would need to be plugged in.

Yeah, my old phone works very well as a ghetto stream deck, and I'm 100% underutilising its capabilities.
With a camera, microphone, GPS, accelerometer and touch screen? Yes I do :)
