  • Remote, secure, high-resolution remote desktop access.
    ThinLinc is free for up to 5 concurrent users (users logged in at same time on same domain) and has a license fee if you need more users. So, you can test it to see if it meets your needs. Here's a sample of what I'm doing (I can even play games (OpenGL) on it, hardware accelerated) - https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/qkrhv6/i_shared_the_better_computer_at_home_with_my/ - and there are other usecases at...

  • Any good Linux alternatives to teradici and splashtop remote?
    I was going to recommend ThinLinc https://cendio.com but its server part is also for Linux. You could try TigerVNC (Cendio is one of the TigerVNC's maintainers) and TigerVNC works on windows... There are other VNCs client/server also. MeshCentral is another alternative already suggested :D. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Question: Remote Access Solution
    ThinLinc (cendio.com) would help you... It's based on TigerVNC, but by default each user gets its own full desktop session when connecting remotely and can also resume later from somewhere else. Its picture quality and responsivness are great even on lower bandwidth/higher latency connections. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Thin Client recommendations
    If you ever want to change your main servers to Linux, there's a software called ThinLinc from Cendio (cendio.com) that can also provide full remote desktop for your thinclients. It's free for up to 5 simultaneously connected users and its licences are sold based on simultaneously connected users, so, maybe it'd be a lot cheaper to have a Linux server machine (free) and pay for a number of simultaneously connected...

  • Is there a Linux equivalent of Remote Desktop Services?
    It can be downloaded at cendio.com and it's free for up to 5 simultaneously connected users per domain... Since you mentioned 4 people, you're still good to use it for free with all four people simultaneously connected. If you need to increase the number of simultaneous users, its price is also lower than windows rdp CALs... (and believe me, it works a lot better than RDP!). Source: almost 3 years ago

  • pushbullet website
    I can't access anymore the pushbullet.com from my computer. I tried with chrome, firefox. Source: 11 months ago
  • A couple questions about the Firefox extension
    Ah I see. Opening a tab isn't a problem, it's just that it opens pushbullet.com instead of https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices to see the text directly. I came up with a workaround with the "Redirector" extension that replaces the url. Source: 11 months ago
  • Not running on PC?
    Same issue. I have uninstalled (Revo) and installed 5 times and still can't get Pushbullet to work. Now it seems I have to got to pushbullet.com to read and send SMS, instead of doing it local on my PC with Windows 10. Seems to have happened in last 2 days. I can use it via internet access, but what happened to local functionality??? Source: about 1 year ago
  • Pushbullet.com synching SMS but Chrome extension is not.
    I go to the pushbullet.com web site and they are all there as they should be. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Large chunks of history missing, File push not possible anymore
    Further when I go to pushbullet.com it doesn't show my recent devices. Although it does show it to me over the pushbullet icon in the toolbar. There are large gaps in my push history on pushbullet.com. Source: almost 2 years ago
