I think there are many use cases for this software.
For example, you may not want to run some graphical applications directly on your Mac for security, isolation or testing purposes.
If this software turns out to be lower latency than RDP and CRD, I could also see it being very useful for accessing a remote graphical workstation (e.g.: running heavy software on an beefy machine in a data center instead of taking up resources on my skinny laptop).
From a quick calculation (micro-production, 1 man operation, 50 units batch):
- Materials: considering the best supported module (T-Beam V1.1 w/ NEO-M8N /w SX1262) with an OLED screen, an upgrade to a decent GPS antenna (ceramic, 28mm^2), 3D printed case and 2 Panasonic 18650.
Materials cost: 48€/piece.
- Assembly: pipelining would probably be bottlenecked by display soldering (outsourcing the 3D printing). Batching soldering could bring that down to ~1 min/piece. Flashing/testing can be fully automated and parallelized with soldering. Final assembly should be an additional 30s/piece. Start up ~10min considering testing machine boot and soldering iron warm up.
I would buy one, as well as few naked one that I would solder myself.
Those things could become very nifty. Solving problems that mesh-wifi can't quiet get right for organic deployment.
At decentriq we change how the world accesses data. We are a Swiss tech startup that focuses on confidential computing - that is computing on data while provably keeping the data confidential from all parties, including us. We leverage the latest advances in cryptography and privacy tech to build a cloud platform that enables companies to run analytics on unseen sensitive data in a privacy-preserving way. We define a new category of collaboration.
We are looking for a senior software engineer (starting as soon as possible) to join our mission. The work location can be fully remote (+/- 4h CET) or in the Zürich office.
