It has modern features that requires relatively heavy processing such as facial recognition, finding similar images, ocr, transcoding videos, etc. I think it only needs those computing resources when you upload new images/videos.
Any idea how much it uses when you're not uploading new pictures?
If it just needs it on occasion (and I can control when by not uploading at times where I'm using it for other purposes), that would probably be worth it since I have the spare capacity 99% of the time
I think you can disable machine learning stuff in the settings. And yes, you can control when the sync happen, or even have it only triggered manually and never automatically.
My instance when not running any photo/video processing job:
Forgot to add immich_postgres which uses ~222 MB of ram. If you already has a postgres running somewhere, you might be able to reuse it as long as its version >= 14 with pgvector installed.
Maybe try gaming-oriented remote desktop tools, like steam link or sunshine/moonlight. Those work great with directx, assuming you have a working gpu (at least integrated gpu) on your remote box. They also have way better latency, though use a lot more bandwidth.
By explaining the advantages over "older" methods. A lot of people use Moonlight/Sunshine for non gaming related stuff, specially considering than the alternatives are all proprietary.
They're productivity tools, not gaming software. You'll be faster and deal with less errors using the correct optimized remote desktop tool for your job, versus what you're using now, which can be slow and error prone.
Sunshine and Moonlight are no more than accelerated and finely tuned VNC servers that happen to be targeted at gaming. You can totally set them up as a regular remote desktop solution.
Right, but I'm saying their sites make it very clear that they're meant for gaming, so GGP may indeed have a hard time convincing corporate IT that they're for work.
My post was answering the question of how they should ask for permission to use it. You pitch it as productivity software that helps you do your job better.
In some places it's no longer possible to travel without a smartphone. For example, where I live you can't buy a ferry ticket without an app. So if I want to travel to another island with a motorcycle, I'll have to bring a smartphone.
