Baby alarm
I wanted to buy a cheap Amazon Echo device to use as a baby alarm. I looked on Amazon, and they are all over around £50.

Or something that is compatible and would do the baby alarm job?

Working via remote access to home pc
Is 'working' via remote access to home via an internet cafe or even using data, viable? I know that one can remote in and search for files etc, even view a file maybe but, can I for example open a locally stored software and make edits etc or is it likely to be too clunky and slow to be possible in reality? Thanks
