Raspberry Pi SSH and VNC Activation for Laptops (without a dedicated keyboard or monitor)
The most important part of my last video, it could be argued, was the description of how to connect via Secure Shell (SSH) to a Raspberry Pi from a laptop, without the use of a dedicated keyboard and monitor. Because many people would never want to sit through a 53-minute video for something so simple, I also produced this short video tutorial to explain the workarounds involved in activating SSH and VNC using only the original installer (and Raspberry Pi Imager) and your network.
Here are some handy links:
