>the “iPad prompter” theory...
I don’t know if anybody remembers the kerfuffle that occurred after one of the hillary / Trump debates from 2016, but as I recall, it looked like hillary was using some kind of prepared notes. I speculated at the time that she could have been using a mature form of E-ink / e-Paper technology.

While I am just an interested observer of modern technology and certainly not an expert, I can envision situations where an E-Ink layer can be printed over an ordinary paper notepad surface with the associated control electronics incorporated into the backing board of a notepad holder or even the spine of the notepad itself.
The display only uses power when the text has to be updated and the bit-rate necessary to send text messages would be low enough so as to allow them to be sent out as micro-bursts or possibly as steganographically encoded texts disguised as random noise.
Using this method, all one would have to do is us send the right toggle signal to the device to turn off the E-Ink layer and the text would be hidden. At that point all anybody would see upon inspection would be a very normal paper notepad.
Generally, In response to your #36, I'll bring my Festival response over, too:

I do remember that HRC kerfuffle -- even did a video analysis that showed there might have been a mini-teleprompter screen embedded in (or applied to) her podium...
"e-Paper/ink" might be a cool way to provide a "canned" speech -- stored in memory -- for prompting a straight, solo, faux "extemporaneous" speech.
But -- for debates -- the weakness of all of these "micro-teleprompter" (e-Paper/ink, pad, contact lenses, audio feeds, etc.) schemes is that they must be sent a (periodic) stream of real-time, responsive data -- to deal with a dynamic, interactive situation like a debate.
However -- even if the data are encrypted, I hear tell that there are "friends" of Q who are the world's best at detecting, recording, decrypting -- and blocking or hijacking -- such signals.
'Insiders' say there's "No Such Agency"... '-}
There's plenty of time until the next debate for the "Wizards & Warlocks" to "do their thing"...
Nous verrons...
