Re: Not having BLE on perfect for IoT board was quite stupid
"wired Ethernet is a pain or a security risk"
Either, I am not understanding what you mean or both those statements fly in the face of any evidence I have seen.
Pain - how much more pain are you caused by simply plugging in an Ethernet cable than, A. paying extra for a Wifi dongle, B. installing the drivers, C. fardling around with connecting up to the right WiFi and D putting in the password? At least you can avoid A&B now.
Security - You do use a WiFi passord I assume. This is famously not secure and easy enough for crims/spooks to swamp out and so on,
I have uses for WiFi Pi devices in future but they are inherently fiddlier and less secure or reliable than a length of CAT5/6/etc
