An old VGA monitor used as a wireless second Mac screen
Two Claudes set up BetterDisplay, Sunshine and Moonlight so a monitor with no AirPlay works as a MacBook second screen.

The full story
The monitor is wired to a Windows laptop with only HDMI (taken) and VGA. A virtual screen from BetterDisplay is streamed by Sunshine to Moonlight on the laptop, shown full screen.
One Claude ran on the Mac and one on the laptop, passing tasks as files in a shared Google Drive folder. Problems fixed along the way: packet loss on Wi-Fi (moved to Tailscale), music playing from the monitor, the laptop mouse driving the Mac, and a trapped cursor. The steps are on GitHub.
