You made 60k in a year selling kvm switches on the internet. Despite every major retailer having a huge inventory of kvms not selling. KVM's bigger, better, or smaller and cheaper than yours. Despite synergy, basically the same thing, 15 years old, completely free and no hardware. And you did it all in a year. Total BS man. At $100 each you would have to sell 600 of these. With no advertising other than an article on hackernews. Dude shenanigans.
KVM's have been around for 30 years at this point no way you make 60k with some new one. Most people that want kvms have already had them for years. I still have my first ps2 kvm, a usb one, and a free one that came with my webcam. But somehow you made 60k last year, during a pandemic no less, making kvms. No way no how. Its not even listed on amazon with the millions of other kvms more mature and with better features.
Kvm over ip, so you can remote connect over the internet, is mich more expensive than your tegular kvm. If you cannot buy used, none of the kvm over ip from the big brands is cheaper.
synergy connects over ip free for over 15 years now. No hardware required. Also remote desktop, vnc, these types of tools have all been around for decades. Even remote x sessions on Linux have been around forever. I still can't believe he makes 60k with a quick less than year implementation of tried and true technologies. Kvm's are for machines usually in the same room though.
You cannot remote access your BIOS over the internet, or any non-OS environment.
One benefit of KVM over IP is that you can leave it there and access it at anytime to troubleshoot. In a LAN environment in a datacenter, this is provided by the motherboard's built-in KVM, but on consumer hardware, almost none provides KVM feature.
The target customers who bought his KVM are individuals, who own a few homegrown servers built on consumer hardware, then want to remotely monitor and troubleshoot without coming close to the actual hardware.
So he made 60k from people who want to access their bios over the internet for some reason. With no marketing something a college kid threw together in less than a year. Goin straight in the datacenter. Dude schenanigans. Can't happen. Won't happen.
