Question for any #blind folks who use a Shadow PC in the cloud. There's an outside chance my income could improve somewhat, and if it does, I'm considering getting one for myself. Before I do, though, I need to know how accessible the clients are.
@TwoThousandStu They are workable, but that's about it. iOS is the best, with Windows and Linux a close second.
@fireborn I won't be able to do iOS, as I have no adapters or controllers that can work with it. Might have to see if my bluetooth is finally willing to work. I can definitely do Windows though.
@TwoThousandStu Will demo the windows client. Unfortunately the quick menu for enabling microphone passthrough etc isn't accessible, and it's not possible without hitting ctrl alt delete and then opening task manager to get focus back out of the shadow window.
@fireborn @TwoThousandStu Can't connect USB either or copy/paste anything, so the only way for me to get files to the shadow is to use a cloud shared folder.
@x0 @TwoThousandStu there's that too. I actually forgot about this limitation.
@fireborn @TwoThousandStu Given this and the fact I wasn't really using it, I just canceled mine. Not worth it IMO. My primary use case would be running something that needs a bigger GPU.
@x0 @TwoThousandStu My primary use case was using on the go with a foldable keyboard connected to my phone, but the Lunar now fills that use case, so I'm also going to cancel.
@fireborn @x0 @TwoThousandStu What is the Lunar?
@jessewienholts @x0 @TwoThousandStu if you want any more information, happy to provide. I am getting a couple more units in the coming days
@fireborn @x0 @TwoThousandStu Now this looks very, very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Does this work like I think it does, so without having to connect a screen of any kind when"you don't need"it? if so this might be my next laptop / portable computer solution. 800 dollar isn't bad for the specs, but a bit to much for me to throw into a for fun project. One question, how's audio? Can you connect headphones, does it have a speaker?
@jessewienholts @x0 @TwoThousandStu no speaker, but you can connect USB C headphones. I've found this is actually quite a good solution, because if you ever lose audio, all you have to do is unplug and reconnect the headphones to force windows to choose the last device connected. There
