    Great software for FREE about remote connection and tech support

    in Computer Discussions

    Posted

    Tried this out with a buddy this evening, very slick tool. Unfortunately my ISP went down for "scheduled maintenance" in the midst of our testing various features. So we did try the "Remote Support" and "Presentation" modes but didn't get around to trying the "File Transfer" or "VPN" modes.

     

    In the brief time we had to mess around with it, I couldn't really find anything to complain about. The desktop image streams very fluently, even when video was set to "Optimize Quality" instead of "Optimize Speed". The webcam and VoIP both worked admirably.

     

    A few of the features that I, personally, found "neat" and worth mentioning:

    1.) During "Remote Support", the remote user can select whether to view the entire desktop or a particular window/application

     

    2.) During "Presentation", the presenter can select which windows/applications in his desktop that the viewer can see. He can also draw directly on his desktop, much like using MS Paint.

     

    3.) When broadcasting your webcam, the TeamViewer program will selectively "black out" that section on the distant end. (So you're not seeing yourself on the other person's screen)

     

    4.) When you have remote control of the other desktop, you can disable any local user input. As well as display a black screen to them. So you can stop them from accidentally (or on purpose) interfering with you while you work. As well as not allow them to see what you're doing.

     

    5.) You can set a "permanent" password as well as having a "dynamic" password. Meaning you can use your permanent password to connect back to your own PC from a remote location, but also have a temporary password you can give to someone else for remote support, presentation, etc... and then generate a new dynamic password as soon as that session is over.

     

    6.) "Partner List". The program lets you maintain a list of contacts much in the same way as instant messengers do. This list will save their ID, an alias set by you, and a password. Most useful in a situation such as mine, where its often the same friends and/or relatives coming to you for help time after time.

     

    7.) Record. The TeamViewer will record everything happening on the remote screen, much like FRAPs.

     

    I'm sure there are many other useful features, but thats all thats coming to mind for now.

    Global Agenda

    If I properly understood what I read, the pay to play is not required. You can still play in both the PvE and PvP areas of the game as a "non-subscriber". The only thing you get from paying the subscription is being able to participate in the agency vs. agency battles for territory.

    A guy I work with has been talking up this game, Global Agenda. From what I understand, it sounds like an FPS MMO. So I checked out the website and it looks rather interesting.

     

    So just seeing if any of you guys are playing it, have played it, or have heard anything more about it?

    What actually happens when you reach "zero" lives? I've never actually seen that happen.
