    Maybe it's time the Wiki(s) was updated?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 09:21 AM PDT

    I just went through it and everything is from 5 years back. Five years ago, or 2015, SuperSu was superior to Magisk, Greenify was still relevant, etc. Things have changed a lot since then. The outward links are outdated, too.

    My experience with remote supporting of others

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 01:51 PM PDT

    I have been helping several of my relative with tech support over the years. Over the years, my family has become geographically disperse, so I can no longer drop by to fix something in person. Fortunately, technology has made it possible to do tech support over the web. I thought I share my experience.

    Degree of interaction

    Sharing comes in different levels, the two level I see is:

    1. You can see the remote screen, but can't make changes.

    2. You can see and interact with the remote screen, but only with the remote user's approval.

    3. You can see and interact with the remote screen unattended.

    If the person is knowledgeable, I favor option #1, because you are making the other user do the work, this often result in them learning how to do it themselves. For really non-technical users, the ones that may have difficulty just turning on the computer, option #3 is the way to go. However, you may be limited to what the system permits.

    Remoting Software

    The following are software that I have used. There are probably more that are not listed. That does not mean they don't work, but that I haven't tried them.

    Chrome Remote Desktop

    Teamviewer

    AnyDesk

    AweSun

    Chrome Remote Desktop – Supports remote access of Windows, linux, macOS and chromeOS from Android, iOS, chromeOS, linux, and Windows. Access is within the browser.

    Teanviewer – support remote access of Windows, MacOS, Android, and Linux from windows, MacOS, Android, and linux. In my opinion, cross platform-wise, teamviewer is probably the most comprehensive, it's the only product that can remote to older Android phones.

    For Android phones, Teamview must have a plug-in for or you can't remote control it. You can look up what brand is supported.

    Team mobile offers a product call Teamviewer Host that allow you to have unattended access. In practice, this doesn't really work all that well. The host typically shutdown after the screen goes out even if you turn off eco-mode and make sure that host is protected.

    Another issue is that Teamviewer has increase their push to get people to sign up. This mean you may get flagged as commercial usage, which reduces your session to 5 minutes. You can email them to get it removed, but it may take a week. From what I can determine, accessing Teamviewer from more than a single computer will result in "commerical usage" detected. In addition, I also found the recent software to be really unstable.

    AnyDesk – support remote access of Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and FreeBSD to Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and FreeBSD. Supposedly started by former employees of Teamviewer. The interface is very similar.

    Like Teamviewer, it will support remoting to phones. For Android phone, you must have Android 5 or later to share screen and Andorid 7 or later for interaction. Like teamviewer, the interactive part requires a plug-in to be installed.

    Awesun – Similar to Anydesk ,but supports windows, macos, ios, and android but apparently not linux. Seems to be a very similar product to Anydesk and have roughly the same requirements.

    Remote Recommendation by Platform

    The following is my observation of accessing the different platform. You may wonder why I don't have IOS or Mac. This is because none of my relative use the two platforms.

    Windows

    My preference is to use Chrome Remote Desktop. It works pretty well and you can actually set it up to connect unattended. AnyDesk and Teamviewer will work, too.

    ChromeOS

    You are pretty much stuck with Chrome Remote Desktop and you cannot setup the chrome os to connect unattended. To connect, the person must send you a one-time remote code. Using Chrome Remote Desktop to access ChromeOS is not ideal. ChromeOS looks like the chrome browser so you are displaying ChromeOS inside your chrome browser, so it can be confusing because you have 2 layers of tabs.

    Android

    My preference currently is to use AnyDesk. Chrome remote desktop doesn't work with accessing Android. Teamviewer has a bad habit of disconnecting or have false-positive that you are using it commercially. Another reason is that unattended access actually works most of the time.

    However, if you have a phone that is older than Android 7, you have to use Teamviewer and you can only use it if there is a compatible plugin.

    Linux

    I don't have anyone who uses Linux, but I imagine Anydesk will work.

    Security

    Using any remote product will increase your security risk. Accessibility and security is a balancing act. I wouldn't have my relatives install remoting software if they didn't need my help. Make sure all host are protected by a really secure password. I also warn the user that they should not accept request for connection unless they come from me.

    I also know nothing about the secuciry of the different vendors. I don't know how secure they are and what information they may be collecting. In the case of Google, I am pretty sure they will try to make sure Chrome remote desktop is secure since it impacts their credibility. I have very little info on Anydesk or Awesun.

    Just to be on the safe side, I typically run remote access through a VM running linux and the linux box has only external access to the internet. No use burning myself helping others.

    How to see what you fingerprint sensor sees

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 10:23 AM PDT

    I tried this with an app called hidden settings for MIUI. I don't know if this works for other phone but this worked on my Redmi note 8 and you can probably do this on other Redmi devices with a fingerprint sensor. So you open the app after you have downloaded it from the playstore. Then you click on fingerprint sensor test and click the check mark for module quality test. Click run at the bottom right of the screen and put you finger on the sensor. For me a exclamation mark came up but then it exited out of the test real quick. You have to click the exclamation mark very very quickly to see the fingerprint picture and before it goes away. It only stays for a split second so I screen recorded it so I can go back through the frames. That's it. Android isn't supposed to show that but with the app you can see it.
