It turns out that Windows PCs, MacBooks, and many Android phones can share a local Wi-Fi connection this way. I wish I'd known about this earlier, because it can be useful in all kinds of scenarios.

The standard uninstaller leaves digital ghosts behind, so manual intervention is needed to thoroughly clean systems of remaining files and configurations.
