Automatically upload the daily crossword to Supernote

The Problem

Note: For anyone landing on this page from Google looking to automatically upload the NYT crossword to your Supernote or similar e-ink tablet, I'm afraid this solution requires some knowledge of programming.

Update 1/12/22: This can be easily adapted to work for the Wall Street Journal crossword as well. Unlike the NYT crossword, the WSJ crossword does not require a paid membership. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for more info.

# You do need your Chromecast to be on Ethernet, or (untested) to join its setup WiFi
# network with your PC, and you also need to find out its IP yourself with e.g.
# Wireshark.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
