    Yamaha HTR series receiver remotes - do they use the same hex codes?

    TP-Link AC 19000 in bridge mode: completely unreliable - typical of a router in bridge mode?

    For Wireless AC, both endpoints must be 802.11ac capable devices. Your bridge is running in Wireless N mode. That TP-Link router/access point is a decent unit. I would try using that as the router, instead of the Comcast unit. Assign static IP address to your bridge endpoint. Then use WDS...

    Hyper-V and Link Aggregation

    Assuming you are not directly assigning a physical NIC to the VM: Team the NICs on the Hyper-V host, then, assign the new team virtual adapter to a virtual switch. You can also create a team within the guest VM, but it's easier at the host level so all the guests are covered by the team.

    How to make Windows 10 HIPAA compliant?

    The healthcare providers and insurance companies use cloud hosting, terminal services or vdi to maintain compliance regardless of what front-end OS/box is used. No data resides on the client's front-end. As such, they don't care if the doctor's office uses Win10 or XP (it's still out there).
