Digital Calendar, Digital Signage
 
I got a few TV / monitor laying around, wifey wanted to use it as a health calendar... thought it would be a good idea.
Anyway I can get this done without annual fees (eg// mango display?).
I'm zero tech friendly so I don't want to do raspberry pi - wife thinks coding is easy LOL... F that.

would be cool to have calendar synced with weather etc.. Anyone has any experience with this?

A raspberry pi is just a cheap computer that runs linux. Not that hard to set up.

Dakboard is software that runs everything. I believe it is browser based.

Site showing you how to set it up.

Another software option https://magicmirror.builders/
That one is more for magic mirrors but you can still use it with a standard screen.

This is a magic mirror.

Not what you asked but

3$ a month is better than downloading some free software that will just sell all your data to someone else when you click "I agree to all terms and conditions"

How much time have you spent looking for an alternative that's free? A single hour of research valued at 50$/hr wage, is equal to 1.5 years of a paid 3$/mo membership

I useto look for free shit all the time, then I realized, paid YouTube, Netflix, crave, for the cost of 50$/mo is far more valuable than spending hours trying to find a free link, viruses, security issues, and unavailable features/content

As they say... if the product is free, you are the product. :ilied:
