are external gpus not a done thing any more? i see comments like

"cheaper just to get a laptop with a good gpu" (but, i don't want that)

"builtin gpu will have better performance" (no measurements)

but what if you want a weak, light, efficient laptop for the commute to work then want to plug in graphics when you get home to a desk for games. i thought that was the whole point

possible workarounds:

put all the clients i care about doing video calls with (my immediate family) on tailscale, which also performs the function of nat traversal
talk to my provider about installing coturn on the ipv4 proxy box? but the cost in bandwidth and maintenance might be too high, especially if i'm the only customer using it
maybe stun/turn as-a-service exists?
admit defeat and just pay $1/mo for an ipv4 address
