It uses some form of VNC (forget the name). Performance is fine for the VMs for non-video stuff.

You can run whatever you want inside a VM too.

Giant fucking egos and totally disconnected from reality.

Works for me, but damn it's dog snot slow. Like typing takes 1-2 seconds for each character to show up

Also, I've found power cycling stuff is when it fails.

I've had machines and many drives running for 10 years, only rebooting as necessary, and never powering off.

Yea, for simple sensors and switches, LoRa seems to be the solution.

This looks good for video, since it has wifi bandwidth capability.

If course then you'll need a real battery (NiMH?) and some solar. But if the power consumption is good, that won't be too bad.

Serious question, why not use current wifi for that kind of distance?

I know, it's probably not really easy to make the comparison at this point - power usage is definitely part of that equation. Though the lower bandwidth of this doesn't seem quite enough for video?

Edit: I misread the bandwidth as 347kbit, not Mbit. So yea, this looks very promising for video, especially given the limitations of Wifi, plus using less power.

Everyone of my phones aged out from lack of OS updates, not because the hardware failed or was too slow.

I have a box of them.

How do you know how much it's filled?

Also, hot water heat works differently than steam, and many steam systems have been converted to hot water, so it's not easy to know just by looking at a radiator.

As other people have said, let the maintenance folks handle it. They know the system.

It also comes out of a difference financial bucket, from a tax perspective.
