Great to see. I used them at my work almost 20 years ago, I had one at home too for easy access. I later got a Tadpole Comet Sun Ray laptop purely for nerd reasons.
With modern network speeds it's interesting to consider how good a thin client could be these days.
- dillona 1y agoAt our company (almost entirely engineers) we're pretty near 100% thin client usage. It's nice to be able to "download more RAM" for a big analysis job and not have to go try to buy a new system or something. I also travel a lot, and it's great to have all of my applications and data right where I left them from any desk in any office
- gt0 1y agoNice, what thin clients are you using? After Sun Ray, I tried an Axel one, but never really found a use case for it.
- dillona 1y agoOriginally we used PCoIP server software and various Zero Clients (they all run the same software). Their video performance is really great, but we found it very difficult to get support for basically anything else (USB, licensing, host OS, etc). One thing lead to another and now we're building our own server software, thin client OS (no hardware yet, we load our image on COTS x86 devices), and public VDI cloud.
