if you're like me your home desktop PC is your domain it's powerful it's got
all your files your shortcuts are laid out perfectly and you always feel
comfortable but then you have to take a trip out of town space is at a premium
and you're forced to make a call do you bring your desktop or your 2-year-old
well as cute as your desktop may be if you have a toddler the odds are
excellent that the person who carried it around for 9 months to make it will have
some say in the matter so out comes the laptop you haven't touched in the last 6
months if you want to be connected in any way to the world however unoptimized
that experience might be but is there a way that you could take that desktop
experience with you well yes actually great question viewer by the way there
is and it's pretty darn awesome in this magical world of technology we have a
plethora of applications that allow you to control a computer remotely via
another computer or even a mobile device whether you're on site or off but what
is the best application to use well if you're using Windows there's actually a
built-in option for remote desktop called remote desktop connection though
it's only available with professional grade editions or higher and the
security isn't the greatest thing ever the main benefits of the integrated
solution are that it allows for a high level of control you can manage all your
applications and transfer files between PCS with ease and doesn't require any
additional software to set up some downsides however are that you can only
connect from a Windows machine to a Windows machine using this software none
of that freaky decky Mac Windows crossplatform nonsense going on and
while if you're connected within your local network it's pretty easy it's just
a matter of enabling it on the host computer configuring your settings so only computers that you control can
access it remotely and then typing in the name of the computer when you want a remote control and hit enter it becomes
a little more difficult when remoting in from the outside of your network as
you'll have to manually open up some ports on your router full details on how
to do that can be found at the life hacker Link in the video description but
of course there are also plenty of third-party solutions that fit the bill
as well if you're looking for an extremely simple option then a program
like team viewer has you covered it takes minutes to set up an account and
you can even use it without an account if you prefer you just need the
connection ID and password from the computer that you're trying to access
you can use team viewer at no charge for personal use the definition of which you
can find on their website and you can get full access to all your programs
share files kind of slowly but it works between your PCS and switch between
monitors if you have a multi-monitor setup all within a very simple interface
and they even have a mobile app so you can access your home PC no matter where
you are team viewer hosting works on Windows Mac and Linux and you can get
clients in those and Android iOS and
even Windows phone so much crossplatform love man there are other crossplatform
options too like log me in although log me in now charges a subscription fee
even for personal use which pretty much takes it out of the running for very
casual users and then there are a ton of awesome solutions for Linux like putty
but they all accomplish pretty much the same goal accessing your home computer
or your work computer from any other computer allowing you to feel
comfortable when surfing the web creating presentation or doing whatever it is you want to do on a computer with
only very short delays because yes
there's always a gotcha isn't there the quality of your streaming experience
over the internet will be heavily dependent on your upload speed at your
space station and download speed wherever your travels take you with a
great connection I've been able to edit videos on a remote workstation even play
them back but with a poor one you can see delays as long as a second or more
making it quite difficult to enjoy
speaking of things that are easier to enjoy when they don't have much delay
ddr4 memory and more specifically xpg Z1
ddr4 from a data the sponsor of today's video this is the memory that we use in
our DDR3 versus ddr4 Apples to Apples
comparison video on my other channel and the whole lineup is pretty darn spiffy
if you're looking for memory for your new LGA 20113 system with a six core or
8 core processor it's available in speeds of up to 2,800 MHz with transfer
speeds of up to 22 gab per second and
does that while being more reliable and while consuming 20% less power than
comparable DDR3 kits so if you're looking for some ball and RAM to go with
your Ballin new CPU check out ad datas xpg Z1 series thanks to ad data for
sponsoring this episode of fast as possible and thanks to you for watching
