Perhaps the wikipedia definition of a "spoiler" will help answer your confusion.
"Spoilers" are a tag created to save people from accidentally reading things they didn't want to, like, um, "spoilers" for books. Do you know what forum you are posting to? (A forum about books.)
Spoilers in this subforum are used for information that may or may not be relevant, to collapse large walls of text out of the way until they are needed. That is the name of the tag we have, we are not fussed about what we call it.

Small suggestion -- try reading the evil spoilers when you aren't logged in, before you complain that you cannot (whyever you care, I do not know...)...
you will discover you can.

There is! Oh, but it's a plain text copy of this thread. Great.
But wait (there's more) - there's a read me first. Aha - this is the stuff I need....

Oh - heh - get this: "Windows people you're on your own".

Gee - thanks! How nice to work so hard to get here to then be told this.

What a complete waste of my waste of time.

NiLuJe I'm sure this post will irk you. I'm a non-Unix moron with an entitlement mentality, no doubt. But perhaps you might see how - if you wanted to - you could make this easier for people who aren't you to use.

OK, bring it.

(Keep in mind that documentation attached to the hack are an initial writeup by the hack author, and may not ever get updated. Updates will target the hack itself, by means of automated rebuilds and critical fixes to the actual functionality.)

Would you rather he serenely promised working directions for something that isn't guaranteed to work and he has never tested for himself?
Windows *is* more difficult. Consider, the tools you are using are fundamental unix tools, running on an embedded linux device... unix is preferred over Windows for networking, for a reason.
I am pretty sure you need to install special drivers on Windows.
On linux, those drivers are baked into the standard kernel.

(Ever tried to use the Android Platform-Tools? Same story.)

Nevertheless, the collaborative Wiki often has more complete information, which is why it is the recommended source of documentation for what we do here, also there are threads created by people who have tried to get this working on Windows. Search the forum for matches for e.g. "Windows usbnetwork ssh".
Worst comes to worst, ask and someone will probably try to help you. Which you did. And we did. And then you started having an attitude about our *perceived* attitude.
I would track down one of those links for you, but it's not worth my time if I will only get complained at.


Attitude gets you nowhere. Passive-aggressive claims that "I'm a non-Unix moron with an entitlement mentality, no doubt", gets you nowhere. (Except, perhaps, to make people think you are a unix-agnostic moron with an entitlement mentality. That option is on the table.)

I'm sure this post will irk you.
Hopefully it will make you think as well.
