What is a reliable, performant remote desktop software today, which doesn't have any interations with Windows, and can run on a variety of older Windows versions? I would like to be able to access my computer remotely on a guest computer where I may not make any configuration changes. The server would run on Server 2008 R2 x64 that is somewhat weak, and the client would likely run on Windows 10 and 11. The client should be portable. The server should not do heavy-handed security or compression. The available bandwidth is 60-100 Mbit/s. I could open a (secret) port for Windows Remote Desktop which is fast, but I am afraid that it would refuse to run on new Windows for this or that reason, as is often the case. I wouldn't be able to confirm any logins on the server or tweak it.

Today DL works again without SABR.

So far the WinXP and Win7 versions have equal functionality, right? "makes my antivirus solution go completely berserk" That's the trouble with anti-virus, and it uses your computer power to display his berserk behavior.

I didn't know that a Windows 7 program existed because it wasn't in his signature. They might not finish SABR before the end of Python. I don't want to do anything with Potoken because you need to dig it out of the browser repeatedly and then pass it into the command-line. I don't touch command line after initially setting it up.

I will use this if it remains working after SABR remains the only option. Have to block advertisements though with a regular expression: obqj2.com will likely keep changing.

Seems like they could build in a "retry" up to five times to get the requested non "SABR" download. Currently I have to do it manually: watch the console, close and reopen the link. The workinh download will likely go away soon though. Maybe it's a fluke that I'm getting it. The current process with the "potoken" ain't gonna happen unless it is made easier.

BlueTooth drivers have usually been exceptionally large. I'm glad that stuff isn't included because it isn't needed on a desktop PC. I installed Server 2022 on my test PC, and everything worked out of the box in it (except mobile devices, which I didn't test).

The SABR problem has returned. It dowloads only VP9. I have to make multiple attempts at downloading.

Ok, cool, I set it to run file operations in foreground. The processor is MediaTek Helio G81. I tried wi-fi in a public location, and it would start at 40 Mbit/s and then got throttled (because it is free). But it obviously started faster. I don't recall what brand it was. Something professional sounding. People told me to update RouterOS, but I don't have faith that the problem was fixed if it didn't look like it when the complaints were made. I still have RouterOS 6.10 because I am afraid of losing my settings or bricking the device on update. One person writes that it is possible to decrease the radio power management on the smartphone, which requires root rights. I have RB2011. It sits on a PC about a meter from a window. I can go outside 6 floors below, sit on a bench and browse the internet. I wonder how far it would reach on a clear channel. Lots of people have wireless around here. Too bad it's not possible to hack the portable device for more channels.

I love the Ghost Commander. Very compact display with lots of data on screen. It installed without the play store. The FTP client works right away. Uploading to FTP also works. But I would rather download from the computer which is more comfortable. Long files seem to easily get cancelled when I click somewhere or the screen goes dark. I need to learn my way around it. The phone doesn't play well with the router. Speed in the other direction is 50 Mbit/s. A solution apparently requires rooting to disable power management. The WiFi FTP Server opens this page. I don't see where to grant any permissions to it. App permissions has "No permissions allowed" Not allowed: Location, Notifications (of course). Other permissions contains: Home screen shortcuts (no), Show on Lock screen (no), Open new windows while running in the background (no). Maybe the SD card will only show if I have one? https://i.imgur.com/8jc9MAO.jpeg

I notice that the volume on the built in speaker on my Xiomi Redmi 14C is noticeably jerky. I do realize that the sound of the speaker can only be crap. But the volume jumps make it unnecessarily worse. It sounds like a crude expander is active. Not a compressor, but an expander. When a voice (or voice-like frequencies) comes into the foreground, the loudness rapidly increases and falls back down. This also happens in ringtones. My old Samsung phone doesn't do this. For example, the song by 4 Non Blondes "What's Up" sounds like this, capital letters representing louder sound. when I'm lying in bEd just to get IT All Out what's in my head, and I, I'm feeling a little peculiar. and so i wake in the mORNing and I step outside, i take a deep breath and i get real high, and i scream from the top of my lungs: what's goinG ON. and I sAy hey-YEAH-YEAH-YEhe hey-yEAH-yeah. i said HEY, what's goINg ON. Is this a helpful setting that can be tweaked?

For now I'll use FTP. I find the phone hard to use with a short cable attached, and it plugs in from below not the top. I also don't know enough to try to uninstall uneeded system apps, which might break things. I'm glad to see FTP is still around, and nothing as portable has replaced it. FTP "sucks" a bit when transferring many small files. Foobar2000 (for mobile) also has an FTP server and client, and they work really well including seeking with partial downloads. The internal free flash memory of about 90 GB is not so much to upload lots of data fast. Rather than inventing MTP, they could have used existing standards like FTP, SFTP or Microsoft's SMB. Maybe we're supposed to rely on a "Cloud". I find quite silly to upload files to a Cloud, only to pull them down again on the computer. For some reason, my wi-fi download speed (router to phone) is limited to about 20 Mbit/s. But if I want to send occasional photos about 4 MB a piece, or a ringtone, that is ok. WiFi FTP Server usually throws an error asking for a permission to access SD card, which I don't have. It seems that I might need to get an SD card to give that permission. Would any currently available card work?

I believe the issue is in yt-dlp-master\yt-dlp-master\yt_dlp\extractor\youtube\_video.py

I currently use this command line in New Moon. Some of it is redundant. I ask multiple audio formats to automatically pick the best choice. Usually h.264/1080p/AAC. But sometimes it is opus. yt-dlp.exe -f 299/137/298/136/22/bestvideo,140/bestaudio[language=en]/bestaudio --fixup never --restrict-filenames --no-check-certificate --hls-prefer-native -o "t:\working\%(title)s- %(id)s .%(ext)s" This produces 2 files for each publication. One audio, one video. I skip calling ffmpeg because I can watch them without it. If I click an MP4 to open in MPC-HC, I can hear the sound. But if I click on "high-end router," I do not, because "webm" is not an audio extension unlike "m4a". When a Matroska file contains only an audio track, the extension should be mka/weba.

I do rename them as I download them before watching, or or a few at a time. --remux-video invokes ffmpeg and remuxes to a video-only file without sound. Rather I want the audio track kept as-is but named such that it can be used. If I get AAC audio it is named m4a and the video is mp4. Opus audio should work the same. (Not all videos give AAC audio.)

I would just like the file extension changed for downloads of Opus audio, from webm to mka or weba, so that media players pick it up as an audio stream when the video is played.

The issue with the "experiment" and formats being randomly unavailable has gone away. For the time being, I can reliably download all videos. Is there an upstream issue tracker than I could post to (about something else), given that I use this modified build?

For the time being, I don't need it. Especially if I can't copy every file type. It's a few megs of memory and a bit of CPU saved when I plug the phone in for charging. The other devices are a brooktree/conexant radio/TV receiver witout a x64 driver and have nothing to do with the phone.

They are in the WinSxS directory. I could probably try to pull them out if I felt adventurous. c:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_wpdmtp.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_7b8f374aa061a3e8\ WinUsb.sys and WUDFRd.sys are installed. They do other things too.

Is it possible to set a sound alert that plays when an SMS arrives like on a conventional phone? I have a Showme Redmi 14C (Android 15). In Settings > Sound & Vibration there is a category called "Other notifications and reminders". SMS apparently fall under this. The problem with this is that there is a lot of notification spam, and they all make the same sound. Software updates, most apps ask you to show notifications, a flashlight app that shows a notification that the flashlight is on. I have turned off some but others still remain. Can I set sound for just SMS? The sound customization is really lacking. There is no "ascending" volume, which make the ring start quieter and rise (in case the phone is in my proximity already). I need to bake this into the MIDI file.

Maybe you have a driver for this MTP protocol. I have Server 2008 R2 which doesn't have Microsoft's multimedia stuff, which is all terrible. I don't want to install the Desktop Experience pack. I am new to smartphones. In the past you usually had to install a whole "Nokia suite" to access files on a phone. The FTP server works really well. I use it all the time to send files from one computer to another. All my computers have FileZilla Server installed. Although, it can't see any system directories, which Total Commander for Android can. Wi-Fi is a bit slow, but ok. I also had to go into Settings > Apps > WiFi FTP Server > Battery. And set it to no restrictions to keep the server running while it is minimized.

Not enough expansion slots for separate network/sound/videoadapter, considering that a video card usually covers 2 slots if it is any good.

Out of these choices I picked an FTP Server. I couldn't find the FTP Server Ultimate. But I got an WiFi FTP Server. It works without installing anything new to my computer. A bit slow for modern times ramping up to about 5 MB/s, but no setup time. My phone is not rooted. Can I do something else useful with "ADB" to make it worthwhile having like hack the phone or disable things? I am not sure if what is called a Xiaomi Unlock means the same as rooting. I need an account with them and log in and ask them for unlock. The unlock tool wouldn't work with the old version the Windows web browser on Server 2008 R2. An SD card is really really tiny and is extracted together with the SIM chip. It would probably get broken soon. I think the disk had to be suspended when enabling mass storage device mode. And the modern phone always wants to access the disk.

I got my first contemporary smartphone. A Showme Redmi 14C running HyperOS 2 (Android 15). I am not impressed by how many hoops I have to jump through to connect it to the computer. When first connected, it showed in the Windows 2008 R2 device manager as "Redmi 14" of course without a driver. After I enabled developer mode by tapping on the version number and enabled file transfer in developer options, it now shows in the device manager as "MTP", which I guess stands for Media Transfer Protocol. The smartphone is still patially "locked" whatever that means and I am not allowed to access it fully. In my previous phone running Android Gingerbread I had to pull down the top bar to enable USB Mass Storage. It was a sort of hidden feature that I had to Google for. It then appears as a USB stick without any driver needed. But not so much with the new smartphone. Can I use this MTP protocol without installing bloated software? On Windows Server 2008 R2. (Not any current sofware that requires Windows 10) What other easy methods for transferring files are there?

That's how it was until recently. But full size boards with enough slots for everything have become uncommon and expensive. Now even powerful systems for games are built on a micro-ATX board. Video, sound and network are still on cards. I think you can find some USB but not very common.
