![]() VLC couldn’t render local nor streaming 4k video (neither x265 nor x264) I just got a black screen.Chromium tabs crash when loading, not even playing a video there.Update: I borrowed a 1GB RAM Pi 4 from a friend to test, but it’s not looking good: Unfortunately there’s no Amazon here ( PCHome and Shopee just aren’t the same), so I’ll go by Jin Hua and nearby stalls to pick everything up: Bluetooth support, which means I’ll be able to use the wireless keyboards and touchpads I’m developing.Gigabit ethernet jack (of course Taipei apartments have built-in ethernet!).Can output 4k at 60Hz from one (but not both!) of its HDMI jacks.Can power via USB-C with existing MacBook adapter.I believe the Raspberry Pi 4B should work: My apartment came with a 4k TV, so I’d like to drive this at 60Hz from a single board computer. So, definitely not worried about latency. Update: A nice man from Chunghwa Telecom installed a very nice fiber optic cable in my apartment and from a wired connection I can ping Google in 3–5ms. In any case, I have some options that aren’t obviously infeasible for geographic reasons. Playing with this latency demo suggests that 50ms feels fine to me - though I definitely notice 100ms (Aside: can I really trust a web app to simulate latency reliably?) Of course, latency is greatly affected by wifi congestion and a bunch of other factors, so I’ll do actual measurements once I have the thin client wired up. Google Cloud actually has a data center in Taipei, so they’d likely be the lowest latency option. ![]() (Those cities are about 1000, 2000, and 3000 km from Taipei.) Tapei pings to Hong Kong and Tokyo are around 30–40ms Singapore is about 50ms. I already pay AWS for servers, so I’ll start there for initial testing. I access this “server” from anywhere via Tailscale.įrom the fabrication space across town I’m able to remote in from my laptop and do CAD work with a spacemouse with completely tolerable end-to-end latency (20ms). I ended up installing Bootcamp on my Mac mini to boot natively into Windows (Parsec doesn’t work through a Parallels 16 VM). (See this setup script if you’re luckier in the cloud dept.) Parsec only works for Windows hosts with GPUs, and despite a decade-old account, $10k of billing history, and a card on file, Google Cloud refuses to rent me a GPU. Use Parsec for remoting and VirtualHere to forward USB peripherals from client to host.
