Very clear and complete explanation. In combination with the earlier version about the glass/fiber connection, this gives a clear picture. Great, greetings from the Netherlands.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

I am so glad you made this video. I was just about to message you with these questions. I am planning to build a fiber optic connection. Wireless is nice but I think a fiber optic connection would be stabler. Can I ask why you don't use Windows Remote Desktop?

@FoFoAstro Год назад

Great question! Mostly because I have two computers that I access remotely and one of them is a Mac. AnyDesk lets me access both of them in the same App which I just like the simplicity of. If both machines were Windows (or I only had one remote machine), I would totally use Remote Desktop.

Looks great! I recently switched from using any desk to Microsoft RDP, I almost can’t tell I’m using a remote session!

@FoFoAstro Год назад

That's great to hear!

I'll add it to the list!

Great video! Please explain couple points. If NUC computer switched off, could you switch it on remotely? Does this software have such capabilities?

@FoFoAstro 4 месяца назад

I solved that with a few tweaks to windows and/or the BIOS on the computer. 1. Set the computer to automatically power on after a power outage. 2. Enable "Wake on LAN." 3. Ensure the computer is set to automatically login, and AnyDesk is configured to start on login. With those settings, I've never once had to manually power on the machine. It works perfectly every time!

@SKYST0RY Год назад

How do you setup auto reboot and auto login, that you mentioned around minute 8. I can't find any option for that in Any Desk.

@FoFoAstro Год назад

That’s a Windows preference. I believe it’s under Users -> Settings. I’d also recommend setting the computer to never sleep, and to auto reboot after a power outage.

@@FoFoAstro I got it figured out last night. Any Desk is incredibly stable. I struggled with Windows Remote Desktop. It disconnected frequently, even if hard connected by ethernet cable. Any Desk worked without a hitch on the mini PC, my laptop and desktop and my tablet. I had been wanting to replace it for ages but came across too many nightmare stories about Team Chat's draconian billing practices, i.e., people saying they were still billing them even months after they tried to close their accounts. Thanks! This was one of the most useful things I've come across in years.

Good video. I use Microsoft's RDP from an M1 Mac Mini to my remote windows computer and it works like "being there" :). Plus I can RDP from a Chromebook and from my linux laptop. Not sure what the motivation would be for AnyDesk if you risk being nagged to subscribe (and wow, it looks expensive)?

@FoFoAstro 10 месяцев назад

Luckily AnyDesk hasn't nagged me at all about subscribing, but maybe I'm lucky. I used to use Microsoft RDP but had quite a few issues with lag that seem to be nonexistent with AnyDesk. Maybe I'll look back into it though!

Hi Sure have enjoyed your videos and explanations of the NexDome project. I have one and am working on my platform for the dome. I wondered if you could tell me what the diameter of the wheels for the dome are . They look like around 4 inches. They were missing from my kit and I had surgery right after I received the kit and it was a year before I got it check kit. Been trying for a week to get them from NexDome and they are having issues with that. Because of the time issue I’m not asking them to correct the issue just let me buy some from them. They have cooperated but don’t seem to be able to get the price to. Got a email today saying that a invoice was sent but it wasn’t delivered. Getting tired and am about try to get them elsewhere. If I knew the diameter I could try Amazon. Hope you can help me. Thanks Rob M.

I will look later and let you know.
