Tailscale: A Simpler, Smarter Way to Connect All Your Devices

on
Tailscale creates a private, encrypted network between your devices using WireGuard under the hood. Instead of “a VPN but complicated,” it acts more like: a mesh of private tunnels with identity-based access (your Google / Microsoft login = your authentication) and automatic NAT traversal (no port-forwarding nightmares) plus support for basically every platform on Earth Everything becomes part of your personal tailnet,  your own secure space. 1. Create your tailnet Go to https://tailscale.com/ Click Sign Up Choose the identity provider you want (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, Apple ID, etc.) That’s it. Your tailnet exists. 2. Install Tailscale on your first device On Windows Download the installer from: https://tailscale.com/download Run the .msi Sign in Approve the device curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh sudo tailscale up Then sign in via the browser page that opens. 3. Add your second device Once signed in, both devices will now appear ...

Install Windows Recall on a non-Copilot+ PC

on

Steps to Install Recall on Unsupported Hardware:

  1. Ensure You Have the Right Windows Version

    • You need Windows 11 build 26100.712 from the Release Preview Channel.
    • Microsoft removed Recall components from newer builds, so this method only works with older versions.

  2. Download the Amperage Tool

    • Amperage is a third-party tool that bypasses hardware restrictions.
    • You can find it on GitHub.

  3. Install AI Components

    • Recall requires additional AI components to function.
    • These can be downloaded separately and placed in the correct directory.

  4. Run the Installation Command

    • Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
    • Navigate to the Amperage folder and run: 
      amperage /install
    • Restart your PC after installation.

Important Notes:

  • This method is not officially supported by Microsoft.
  • It may not work on all devices, especially non-ARM-based machines.
  • If your PC isn’t ARM-based, you might need to emulate an ARM installation using a virtual machine.

Setting up a virtual machine for an ARM-based Windows installation can be done using Hyper-V or Azure. Here’s a general guide:

Option 1: Using Hyper-V (Local VM)

  1. Enable Hyper-V

    • Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run: 
      DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V
    • Restart your PC.

  2. Download Windows 11 ARM64 ISO

    • Get the ISO from UUP Dump or Microsoft’s official sources.

  3. Create a Virtual Machine

    • Open Hyper-V Manager → New Virtual Machine.
    • Select Generation 2 and allocate RAM (at least 4GB).
    • Attach the Windows 11 ARM64 ISO as the boot disk.

  4. Adjust VM Settings

    • Disable Secure Boot (Windows 11 ARM64 doesn’t support TPM in Hyper-V).
    • Set the virtual hard disk size to at least 64GB.

  5. Install Windows

    • Start the VM and follow the installation steps.

More details on setting up Hyper-V for ARM can be found here.

Option 2: Using Azure (Cloud VM)

  1. Sign in to Azure

    • Go to the Azure portal and create a new VM.

  2. Select Windows 11 ARM64

    • Choose Windows 11 Professional on ARM as the image.

  3. Configure VM Settings

    • Select Ampere Altra ARM-based processors.
    • Set up Remote Desktop (RDP) for access.

  4. Deploy and Connect

    • Click Create and wait for deployment.
    • Connect via RDP to start using the VM.
