You can screen share with Jit Meet nothing to install, it's free, and you don't need to join anything. Very simple you just both visit the website and enter the same password. Just use three or four random words as a password.

Actually quite a lot.

You could park your car outside a house with an open Wi-Fi and download illegal material.

That person will get in a world of crap, even prison.


Richard, I have a router connected to my SHub 3, the router allows me to set restrictions on the router, and free apps allow me to do this via the phone.

Actually not a lot as it isn't Richard's account.

Why would I ride around looking for and park outside someone's house to use their free wifi to gownload illegal material when if I wanted to I could use my own connection with my VPN?

No one should be running open wifi anyway, no one around me is, they are all secured.

Some people don't understand technology.

As someone who works heavily in IT, I'd contest that most people don't understand technology.
