    Does the desktop Mac need a display for this to work?  In other words, can I just setup a Mac Mini and use the AVP as its only/primary display?  Guessing I’ll need one initially to setup the prerequisites like Bluetooth and WiFi. 
    And... is the connection between the two over an existing LAN? Or is it a dedicated Wifi/Bluetooth connection? 

    And will this work over the Internet if I'm in a coffee shop?
    In answer to the headless Mac mini question, set up originally using a display, connect a $8 HDMI spoofer plug so the Mac mini thinks it's connected to a monitor, and you're good to go.

    In answer to your question, RCS1000, it works with my Mac Studio with the Wi-Fi off, so existing LAN, it seems.

    It does not work over the Internet if you're in a coffee shop.
    I wonder if Tailscale will work?

    Of course, this is slightly bonkers, but I love the idea of being in a Starbucks and being able to "check in" on my MacMini. It would - of course - be absolutely useless for actual work. But it would be incredibly cool.
