Remote Desktop via PPC


Recommended Posts

Ok according to microsoft it's possible to do an active desktop with your pocket pc if you have winxp.

My latptop has WinXP

I have a HP IPAQ 1910

And I have to do this over the activesync cable which is possible

however i can't find a link to the software through microsoft.com

and i can't find the program on my PDA.. any suggestions?

I remember reading that as well, but it doesn't seem to be supported by microsoft.

It can be done with VNC Server on your Windows box, and a Pocket PC compatible VNC Viewer... however I've never tried it over the activesync cable. In order to use VNC you have to have a TCP/IP network between your devices. I'm not sure how to do that over an activesync cable, just bluetooth and wifi. But I'm sure there is a way.

Just out of curiosity, why would you even want to? It isn't like the activesync cord is very long, and the windows desktop is kinda cumbersome to control from your pocket pc. Since you are going to be so close to your laptop anyway, why not just use your laptop?

    • It has the same switch to allow whitelisting or not as the regular AdBlock extension.
    • These 20 crypto phishing applications are scamming Play Store users by Hamid Ganji Google Play Store is the main venue for Android users to download applications. While Google has strict rules and policies for verifying apps, some malicious apps somehow slip through anyway. Meanwhile, when it comes to crypto wallet apps, both Google app auditors and Play Store users need to be even more cautious. Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs has identified at least 20 crypto phishing applications on the Google Play Store that impersonate legitimate and popular crypto wallet apps and try to steal users' crypto credentials. By impersonation, these malicious apps trick users into downloading them and then start to capture the user's actual login data. "What makes this campaign particularly dangerous is the use of seemingly legitimate applications, hosted under previously benign or compromised developer accounts, combined with a large-scale phishing infrastructure linked to over 50 domains. This extends the campaign's reach and lowers the likelihood of immediate detection by traditional defenses." Cyble writes. Some of these malicious apps have the same name but come with a different package name. After removing duplicate names, here's the list of 9 newly discovered crypto phishing applications on the Play Store: Pancake Swap Suite Wallet Hyperliquid Raydium BullX Crypto OpenOcean Exchange Meteora Exchange SushiSwap Harvest Finance Blog According to Cyble, these apps prompt users to enter their 12-word mnemonic phrase to access the fake crypto wallet. Also, scammers use accounts that were previously used to distribute legitimate apps to minimize the risk of getting caught by Google. These accounts are more likely to be compromised and then taken over by scammers. If you've downloaded any of these fake crypto wallet apps from the Play Store, make sure to delete them as soon as possible. In 2024, revenue from crypto scams was estimated to be around $9.9 billion. This billion-dollar crypto scam business is expected to grow massively in 2025 thanks to AI.
    • Again...just because Microsoft never managed to be as successful as Google in that business that doesn't mean they are not exactly what Google is. An online advertising company. Edge's built in ad block in case you don't know whitelists their own advertising platform. According to Microsoft... Google ads and tracking bad, Microsoft ads and tracking good:)
