Remote desktop Connectivity from windows 8 to Mac - windows

I have new Mac mini, and now my requirements is to connect my other friends pc Laptops(window 8) connected remotely with the mac, kindly guide me on the right direction for this approach achievement.

In the Mac OS System Preferences in the Menu Sharing you have to activate Screen Sharing.
The in the Computer Settings you could optionally activate a VNC password. From windows you can use one of the free VNC Clients which are out there.
(TightVNC, RealVNC and many others)
Hope this helps...

Windows OS: Connected dev board not visible in mdt using Git Bash

Doc I followed - https://coral.ai/docs/dev-board/get-started/#install-mdt
Python3 version: 3.9
What I have done
Flashed the board with a microSD card.
I have installed MDT and it is working fine.
Connected the dev board via USB, confirmed a new Network Adapter (Remote NDIS Compatible
Device) shows up in Device Manager
Ran mdt devices
What the docs said should happen
connected dev board should be listed
What actually happened
After waiting for some time nothing gets listed (mdt cannot see the
connected device)
Running mdt wait-for-device stalls in "Waiting for device..."
Running mdt shell gives the error, "Waiting for a device... Unable to find any devices on your local network segment."
This might not be the best way to do this, but this did the trick for me:
First connect your board to your PC.
Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
Here you will see an Unidentified network click on it and go to Properties.
In properties, go to Sharing and check Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection.
Now try running mdt shell command.
After you have successfully connected your board, make sure to uncheck the previous option in Network Sharing.
I did the above but it did not fix my problem. Here is what fixed it -
Apparently the dev board is seen as a unidentified network under public networks. My Windows Firewall settings blocked python.exe from writing to or reading to public networks. I did the following -
How to check if Windows Firewall is blocking a program
Press Windows Key + R to open Run.
Type control and press OK to open Control Panel.
Click on System and Security.
Click on Windows Defender Firewall.
From the left pane Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.
In the allowed apps window, scroll through all the apps.
Locate the app you want to review and see if the app is checked.
(Here the python.exe was not checked. I changed the setting and voila, mdt devices finds the device and everything works on from here.)
If it is unchecked, the app is blocked on the Firewall.
If your program is blocked, simply check the app and click OK.

How to map the Alt key to remote Ubuntu based on VNC from a Mac

I use a Bluetooth Dell keyboard with my Mac, however, I have to use RealVNC to visit an Ubuntu Linux server remotely. I found that the Alt key has been translated into some Unicode symbols. How I can change keymap to directly send my Alt key to Linux.
The vnc client is realvnc and the server is TightVNC
Go to properties of you connection and change to the tab Expert and then set LeftOptKey to Alt_L, works perfect for me!

Is there any way to control Windows Mobile (Win10 phone) from Win10 Desktop?

I would like to control my windows mobile from desktop.
I'd like to have full access, keyboard and mouse as well.
Is there any way to do it?
If both of your devices support Miracast you can use the Connect app. Find more info on Windows Central here.
Edit: If you want to control your phone, just open the Connect app from your Action Center. This will work even for not Continuum enabled phones. You still have to enable the connection in Settings app on PC and you may have to pair the PC with the phone over the Bluetooth.
Seems like there is an app called PC remote, created by microsoft.
If that's something like what you're looking for: https://www.microsoft.com/da-dk/store/p/pc-remote/9wzdncrfhvwt.
Edit: Thats a Danish version, but I think you should be able to find an English version aswell.

associating to an encrypted ssid from mac os x command line

I have a bunch of macbook pro and air laptops which are being controlled through SSH.
At this point I need to make them associate to an encrypted SSID. The command that I use is:
sudo networksetup -setairportnetwork en0 test-ssid 12345678 where test-ssid is the ssid that we connect to and 12345678 is the password.
When I issue this command through SSH it halts and a pop-up window appears on the laptop GUI where it says: "networksetup wants to access key "test-ssid" in your keychain with the options "Always Allow", "Deny" and "Allow"
Is there a way to make this window not appear and have the laptop simply connect to the ssid? I don't have a regular access to the laptop GUI and the SSID names constantly change so I can't really manually hit accept every time I need to connect a bunch of laptops.
Thanks in advance!
This is basically an issue with the older OS X versions. Works fine on Yosemite which I was hesitant to upgrade to.

Is it possible to remotely control PC/powerpoint slide from bluetooth-enabled phone without having a PC server program?

It looks like most existing remote PC solution using bluetooth-enabled smartphone needs PC side software (especially Java..)
I'm wondering if remote PC control is possible without PC side software at all?
Yes, it is. I once tried Bluetooth remote control with a Sony Ericsson K770i and it worked really great! All you need is a Bluetooth receiver installed on the PC and you need to pair your PC with your mobile phone. Then you can set the phone to control the PC and voila.
I tried this on Windows Vista x86. Worked really great. It was a pleasure to be able to control the PC from my bed when I was sick. Plus, I could bind shortcuts like "Ctrl+C", "Ctrl+V" to certain keys on the mobile phone. The K770i had it all.
