Control ANY COMPUTER with these Pi KVMs!

I've been testing two Raspberry Pi KVM over IP devices: The TinyPilot Voyager and the PiKVM v3. What do they do? How well do they do it? Find out how you can get complete control over any PC or Mac over a network, and which of these devices you should pick to do it.

Mr. Geerling Senior needs his own channel! He's charasmatic, well spoken, and can have Redshirt Jeff do silly things in the background. Great to see the whole family! Time to do an interview with Katie next. We want to know what's her line, she into tech too? Videography seems to be a starting point...

I've worked with many IP KVMs. On top of their usual lack of features (hdmi is rare, many don't even do USB) they tend to suck. Java based interfaces, mouse doesn't always work. The fact that this works even on your phone makes it better than pretty much everything else out there.

Jeff: Your father is GOLD! Wish I had a father like him!

[maroskukan]

I have seen lot of reviews over past years, but this is the first one that tell a tale of personal experience. Great work Jeff, I find inspiration in things you do.

I would love to see some RTL-SDR stuff. Even just showing how cheap the radio is and the basic stuff you can do with it.

[gljames]

The part with your dad is just so wholesome!

[amyshaw]

I enjoy how young Dad Geerling looks exactly like current Jeff

[MG-duwu]

Absolutely brilliant production guys, what a brilliant family team. I was here for the details of the KVMs. I didn't expect such a superbly produced, informative and entertaining production. Respect!

4:00 _'Setup was a little more difficult because it comes as a kit and you have to assemble all the parts yourself.'_
For some, that's a bug. For others, that's a feature.

You are a spitting image of your dad. The picture of him when he is younger looks a lot like you do now, if you didn't have facial hair. Uncanny! Great video and very helpful, thank you both!

[ryanburnette]

As a father of two young boys, the picture of you using the computer as a baby contrasted with where you are today is very touching. Your father must be very proud. All the best to you both.

You've inspired me to go bug my boss to put this functionality in the NAS. Boy will the developers be happy to see me tomorrow.

Funny how things change! During my brief stint in radio in the mid-90s, we were still using carts (more or less 8 track tapes) for commercials, background music during traffic reports, etc... I wonder how many people in radio today have *ever* grabbed a cart to play a commercial? :) We, as individual DJs, were just starting to bring our laptops in to play random sound effects at the time. It was a novelty.

I love the look of pride Mr Geerling had on being interviewed by his son the video personality! You both look alike at around that age. He seems the perfect dad that every kid might wish for and a great role model. Hopefully he will start his own channel or a joint channel. Loved the inside view on radio support.
Great feedback on the device use experience and pros & cons.
I like the definition of latency and the adjustments. The criteria for selection was really helpful.
Well done Jeff! Superb video.

[Yertle_Turtle]

I'm jealous of how cool (great) your dad is. Cheers to you and your family for taking the time to make this!

[rudiwinkelstein]

It's always amazing to find open source projects like the PiKVM that are both better and cheaper than existing solutions. Thanks for reviewing these products

[gklinger]

Jeff, Jeff's cousin, Jeff's dad, Jeff's sister., Jeff's red shirted twin... I love that Jeff's family is willing to help him with his great videos.

[OldePhart]

How cool it is that you and you dad can talk tech like this. I'm your dads age but my kids went into medicine, so my old age will be well handled... but times like this would have been so great.

[GeorgeMulak]

How cool is that! Interview Dad! No wonder you are such a great nerd and teacher. You guys are a blessing. Thank you so much for such a great video!

[ebzor]

Great video with the real world example from your father!
That clock at the end was amazing, and a nice touch. Kudos.
