00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.519
what from Linux to

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:16.920
Windows over to the

00:00:13.879 --> 00:00:19.640
Mac over to Linux

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:22.640
again over to window

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:34.399
what how did he do that

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:41.079
the N Mouse from Phoenix is ergonomically designed and comes with an

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:42.239
8200 DPI sensor and rron switches click

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.920
the link in the video description to learn more this video back from March

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.960
31st of 2012 is one of the only videos that shows my personal setup it's also

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.680
about like how I got this job and my mineral oil computer and whatever else

00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.000
it's also kind of one of my favorite videos but as some people noticed I had

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:05.840
two keyboards and two mice that's kind of weird that was because I had two

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:11.240
computers on two different monitors I love that I was able to control both

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.880
computers quickly and easily but hated

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:17.759
how I would constantly get confused as to which mouse or keyboard was connected

00:01:16.119 --> 00:01:25.240
to what and usually I'm not looking down at them when I'm operating them so I don't know what I even am doing and H I

00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.520
never got used to that enter Synergy in

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:32.520
their own words Synergy combines your desktop devices together for one

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:36.920
cohesive experience it's software for sharing your mouse and keyboard between

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:43.479
multiple computers on your desk and it works on Windows Mac OSX Debian Ubuntu

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:45.439
red hat and Fedora neat it allows for

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:50.000
near seamless transfer of your keyboard and mouse it also allows you to do stuff

00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:54.280
like copy and paste items between computers or just text or whatever and

00:01:52.360 --> 00:01:59.000
it even lets you drag and drop files from one computer to another in order to

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.039
add that whole cohesive experience thing

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:07.360
essentially it's a network-based non-v video KVM switch that if you upgrade to

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:09.000
the pro version is encrypted with SSL

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:13.360
okay so that sounds pretty awesome until I mention the pro upgrade thing right I

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:18.120
mean most of the software I've shown on this channel has been free stuff so far

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.560
other than that display Fusion thing I guess but hold tight for a minute it's

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:27.760
not really that bad considering what the program gives you it's actually pretty

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.519
cheap it's 10 bucks or 29 if you opt for Synergy Pro which gives you SSL

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:37.080
encryption and Priority Access to their support help desk this payment gets you

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:41.720
the program and all of its updates for life I opted for the $29 option as SSL

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:47.599
encryption sounds pretty cool and a lifetime priority support is also pretty

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.760
cool also because its program is absolutely awesome and I want it to

00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:55.920
support the developers not only do they publicly display their link to glass

00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:00.720
store which shows their page of their employees reviewing their company on

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:06.720
everything and it's very highly rated but they also offer free beer and food

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.400
like a good startup should looking at

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:14.120
you lonus okay and that's fine and dandy but how well does it actually work

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:20.360
actually mind-bogglingly well and I'm not that surprised as their customers

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:23.879
range from Pixar Cisco Microsoft Amazon

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:26.360
Intel and Facebook to well me

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.439
installation is a very simple spam the next button style procedure where all

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:34.799
you really have to do is decide if the computer you're installing it on is the

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:39.519
server also known as the one with the keyboard and mouse that you intend to

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:44.159
share or the client also known as the one without the keyboard and mouse you

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:48.640
intend to share or at least maybe possibly none even plugged in and that's

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.159
actually sort of it if you just kind of want things to work all you have to do

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:57.959
after that is decide where your computers should go on the screens and

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.879
links Synergy server configuration panel

00:03:57.959 --> 00:04:03.799
one thing to note here is that even if your computer has a bunch of screens

00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:08.599
plugged in in a weird configuration or whatever it still just kind of shows up

00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:14.439
as one meaning even on a triple monitor wide setup if you have one monitor above

00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:16.680
it going on any of the computers that

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:21.000
you have connected any of your monitors leaving vertically will go to that one

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:24.000
even if it's like super far to the right and there's computers above that it will

00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:28.160
still go to the one that is configured as above your computer there are also

00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:32.240
Advanced server settings which most of which I honestly would leave def fault

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:37.919
and hotkeys which are actually pretty wicked these allow you to assign key

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.280
presses to rapidly switch which computer

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.600
is capturing your keyboard and mouse this is really helpful if you have a

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.919
massive amount of screen real estate or a bunch of computers hooked up as moving

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:53.240
your mouse around the vast planes of desktop Valley can take quite some time

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:57.639
also I recommend that you enable the Windows option to show the location of

00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:03.199
your pointer when you press the control key once you get above like four screens

00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:08.440
things get a little crazy Synergy already has and will continue to make a

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.440
galactically impactful difference into how I use computers if it does for you

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:17.000
as well I'd love to hear about it this video wasn't sponsored by them at all

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:21.240
they don't even know that I made it I'd just love to see what kind of crazy

00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:25.840
setups you guys come up with now I apparently can't even remember to shave

00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:29.120
let alone go to the store to buy razors so Dollar Shave Club can at least take

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:34.759
care of one of those problems for me by delivering RoR right to my door for a lower price than

00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:39.120
the competitors both my wallet and my face would finally get some relief if I

00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.919
actually you know did the thing joining dollarshaveclub.com means you can afford

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:47.319
to shave with a fresh blade anytime you want which feels fantastic when you

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:50.960
actually do it and if you even want a better shave you can pair it with Dr

00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:54.560
Carver's shave butter it's not your average shave cream it has high quality

00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:59.039
ingredients that make your skin feel soft and smooth and moisturized again

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:03.720
when you actually do it if you want to get razors so you don't have to have

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.199
this thing on your neck like I do go to
