This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

I only stumbled onto KDE connect in f-droid about a month ago.

It's the fastest way to transfer large files from device to device.

I just wish I could show my phone screen on my old tablet.

you might want to check out droidVNC-NG to share the screen from your (android) phone via vnc
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.christianbeier.droidvnc_ng/

there's also avnc, which is an android vnc client

@Rustmilian
That says works on Linux, Windows and Mac. I'm after android to android. Screen casting from phone to tablet essentially. Am I missing some fine print?
