    phone emulator

    Off the top of my non-developer head, Google's official emulator or BlueStacks both do Android emulatory things. I have not idea of limitations. And yes, I would expect more people have a smartphone and no tablet than tablet and no smartphone. More portable, more functions....

    How can a router open your browser?

    What address shows in the browser? Based on the cross warning I suspect the address bar shows the page you intended to go to. The device has the technical capabilty to recognize an initial NAT session and replace the DNS address with one of its choosing. I'm not positive that's how it works but...

    Windows 10

    Some of the partitions are actually needed and we'll reappear on fresh install, but some are related to MS recovery environment (PBR=push button reset) and Lenovos particular implementation of it. Since you are moving to Windows 10, the OS install files are readily available as well as the...

    Jtr, I'm positive your views would change if you actually had to run our small business. While it is true that a business must focus on its core products all expenses reduce profits for a given sale price. It is difficult enough to develop a product that the market will support at a price that...

    Trump is a Trump guy. I have no faith that he has the interests of average Americans in mind beyond tools for manipulation. He has repeatedly stated that in negotiations he likes to keep the other side guessing. While I like that tactic in business, it can produce chaos when used against...

    Nobody likes chaos, but you accept a certain amount of it if you believe in a hands-off government. But Trump in the WH would be completely unpredictable and lead kill the market.

    Lack of structure I can see, it is not as top-down a structure as the Democrats. But leadership? What would you suggest they have done differently? They could have pushed Trump out and risked a fight with an independent over the same conservative voters. Or keep him close and hope for influence...

    One limitation I had was that I wanted the hole through the wall to be in a gap already in the plate for the TV mount. Next time I would not cut a full size hole for the low voltage box, instead just big enough for the 1.5" PVC I had as scrap and screw the faceplate directly into the plaster...

    If you just uncheck the parts you don't want the installer will figure it out. No need to actually uninstall and reinstall. I'd imagine it took so long due to decompression of the installer files.

    Wake on Lan over WAN

    If you had 2 NICs in a Windows machine and you had the gateway configured on both then the IP stack would create 2 default route entries and the IP stack would balance the traffic between them. But you don't want that. If you went this direction you would only put a gateway on the gig NIC. It...

    Wake on Lan over WAN

    This is an unconventional solution that should work. Adding a static arp entry to the router would is perfect for this. Also, no need to reserve the address in dhcp, just hard code an address outside the range.

    problem neighbour keeps stealing wifi

    Yes, it would have been better for me to say that just having WPA2 is not a guarantee. The length of the password is a direct reaction to how quickly a certain length can be brute forced combined with how often you change it.

    If you consider my tv as a big monitor then I am doing the same thing. How are you connecting the speakers to the tv? I'm using hdmi. If the monitor goes to sleep then then the DAC is not powered presumably.

    You need better logs from your router to determine what to do next. What is the model? Suffice to say that a determined attacker can Crack WPA2 and spoof mac addresses.
