  • iPad Pro M2
    Code-server https://github.com/coder/code-server works fairly well and can be saved to the home screen as a web applet to get rid of the browser URL bar. Their are a few UI issues related to touch but it has server well enough for some light work. You can also use an remote apps like Rainway/TeamViewer/RDP/VNC somewhat successfully to get a more full desktop experience. Unfortunately they all seem to have their... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • why you shouldn't buy shadow.
    Rent your Server own at Google, Amazon or even Microsoft Microsoft has also a Windows in the Cloud Service There is Amazon with LUNA if you only want to play There is NVidia GForce now There is STADIA (Which I use by myself. Better than expected) There is XBox Cloud Streaming (XCloud) There is https://parsec.app/ There is Playstaion now Streaming There is https://welcome.playkey.net There is... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Rainway is Dead
    We just don’t offer support anymore. Our business is entirely focused on B2B offerings now https://rainway.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Has anyone ever received a partnership deal with Rainway?
    I too found this in my emails. And funnily enough, that one was in my Spam folder. But I know that not everything in there is necessarily spam. I was curious though as took me less than 2 mins to track-down https://rainway.com/gaming/ and I did also notice the email as rainway.us That and no website link. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Has anyone ever received a partnership deal with Rainway?
    These emails are sent from [scott@rainway.us](mailto:scott@rainway.us) The real domain is rainway.com. So it's 100% fake. By the way I once got a scam email where they managed to fake some real company domain. So even if domain is real you should definitely double check. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Startup Programming Idea: Decentralised Computing
    Check out https://rainway.com/ they specialize in low latency video transport which would help you get the output from one computer to the other. It’s not all open source but they have a decent amount on their GitHub. https://github.com/rainwayapp. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Hot to connect 2 computers as it those were 1?
    If yes, or if either your router can't do VPN or you have a Home edition of Windows: Look into something like Parsec Steam In-Home Streaming (aka. Remote Play) with a workaround to show your whole desktop or Rainway. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Suboptimal server selection resulting in pixelated mess
    #3 browser streaming uses Rainway, so it's probably doing something different than the Xbox app which could explain why it behaves differently. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Local network Desktop Sharing to Quest - Web based
    Sure. I also remmbered https://rainway.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Is there a free way to replicate Stadia/Luna/xCloud?
    In my opinion rainway is the best one, I literally have less than 4ms of delay over wifi. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Has anyone tried running a personal cloud pc setup?
    I think where the money is from is their non-gaming branch. Check out their main page: https://rainway.com/. They don't really specify pricing or exactly what they do, but it seems like they're licensing the use of their software to other businesses for their specific application. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Mirror computer games from PC to Apple TV?
    Take a look at Rainway: https://rainway.com/ With Rainway you can stream almost every game to your Apple Tv. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • I’ll say it. Gamepass on iOS iPhone sucks.
    I spent some time digging into this recently. Xbox Cloud Gaming is built with Rainway. The Rainway client (running on your phone) is decoding video frames and audio on-device. Based on some of the code I read (and what I remember), this is at least partially to determine how in sync it is with the server. It may also be decoding them for other reasons, but this is almost certainly what causes the excess heat on... Source: almost 3 years ago
  • What the most amount of storage I can put on the ctr-001 original 3ds? And does it only have one slot for storage because I've seen on the new one it has two separate locations one for micro and one for sd?
    Las question is there a way where I can stream my pc games through my 3ds? Like Rainway? Source: almost 3 years ago
