Collaborate Disseminate
For some of us, unused hardware lying around just calls to be used. It seems like [Miles Goodhew] heard the call, and wanted to put a Dell Wyse 3040 thin …read more Continue reading Thin Client Wysens up to Become OpenWrt Router
Do you need a cheap, small computer for a low power computing project? Historically, of us would reach straight for a Raspberry Pi, even if we didn’t absolutely need the …read more Continue reading When Pi Supply Falls Short, Thin Clients Stand Tall for Home Automation and Low Power Computing
It’s no secret that Raspberry Pi’s are a little hard to come by these days. Unless you had the foresight to stock up before the supply dried up — and …read more Continue reading Thin Client and Smartphone Step in for 3D Printer’s Raspberry Pi and Touchscreen
We were impressed with [moononournation’s] tiny thin client project. It claims to use an Arduino, but as you might guess it is using the Arduino software along with a network-enabled …read more Continue reading Tiny Thin Client is Small But Compatible
Thin clients were once thought by some to be the future of computing. These relatively low-power machines would rely on large server farms to handle the bulk of their processing …read more Continue reading Hacking an Extra SATA Port Into A Thin Client
Three vulnerabilities affecting HP Device Manager, an application for remote management of HP Thin Client devices, could be chained together to achieve unauthenticated remote command execution as SYSTEM, security researcher Nick Bloor has found. The vu… Continue reading HP Device Manager vulnerabilities may allow full system takeover
One of the great predictions of desktop computing from the mid 1990s was that we would all move to so-called thin clients, stripped-out desktop computers containing only processor, display driver, and peripheral interfaces, that would call up their applications not from a local hard disk but from a remote server. It was one that was never fulfilled in quite the way its proponents envisaged, but a business thin client hardware market did emerge for the likes of Citrix sharing of Windows applications. In a sense we have reached the same point through cloud-based in-browser applications such as Google Apps or …read more
