Television that
runs itself.
Nixosoft and Pixynix Media Corp. operate a broadcast joint venture: AI-run television channels that watch the world, write the show, voice the anchors, compose every frame and stream themselves around the clock. No cameras, no crew, no control room. The flagship, NewsTrada, is on air now.
Nixosoft
Builds and runs the platform- The autonomous production loop — ingest to air
- AI direction, scripting and in-house anchor voices
- Frame compositing on our own GPU infrastructure
- Playout and the restream relay, self-healing
Pixynix Media Corp.
Originates, owns and programmes the channels- The masthead, on-air look and editorial brief
- What a channel covers, how it sounds, where it stops
- Brand ownership — the name, the archive, the airtime
- Sponsorship, licensing and distribution
Sponsorship, licensing and channels under your own brand are handled by Pixynix — three ways in →
Know Your
Hardware
Boot from USB. Scan from your phone. Get instant hardware diagnostics, capability scores, and professional reports — in under 60 seconds.
PC Checker
A bootable hardware diagnostic suite that scores any PC across 8 specialized profiles. No installation. No OS dependency. Just truth about your hardware.
Instant diagnostics.
Professional reports.
PC Checker boots from a USB drive and runs a comprehensive hardware scan — CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, thermals, peripherals, network, and more. Access the results dashboard from your phone via QR code.
8 Test Profiles
Each profile weights hardware differently. A gaming rig isn't judged like a server.
AI / ML
GPU VRAM, CPU threads, large RAM for model training
Gaming
GPU power, refresh rates, fast storage, thermals
Video / 3D
Multi-core CPU, GPU render, high-speed storage
Developer
Multi-core, RAM, fast SSD, multiple displays
Music Production
Audio interface, low-latency, CPU single-thread
Server
Reliability, ECC RAM, network, uptime thermals
Office
Balanced performance, storage, display quality
Mining
GPU compute, power efficiency, thermal endurance
How It Works
Four steps. No installation. No technical knowledge needed.
Flash the USB
Download the ISO and flash it to any USB drive using Balena Etcher, Rufus, Ventoy, or dd.
Boot the PC
Plug the USB into the target PC and boot from it. The diagnostic environment starts automatically.
Connect WiFi & Scan QR
The boot script finds WiFi networks. Connect, then scan the QR code with your phone.
Get Your Report
Pick a test profile, run the scan, and get a detailed score breakdown with a downloadable PDF report.
Built to Diagnose
Comprehensive Hardware Scan
CPU cores, frequency, cache. GPU model, VRAM, driver. RAM speed, slots. Storage SMART health, disk speed benchmarks. Motherboard, BIOS, serial numbers.
Scoring Engine
Every component gets a 0-100 score based on your selected profile. Weighted categories produce an overall grade from A+ to F with specific recommendations.
Mobile-First Dashboard
The entire interface is designed for phones. Scan the QR code and control everything — profile selection, scan progress, results — from your palm.
PDF Export
Generate a professional "Nixosoft | PC Capability Report" PDF with all scores, hardware details, and recommendations. Perfect for buyers and sellers.
Zero Footprint
Runs entirely in RAM from the USB. Nothing gets installed. Nothing gets written to the target PC's drives. Boot, scan, done.
Self-Updating
Built-in update mechanism checks for new test profiles and scoring algorithms. Your USB stays current without re-flashing.
Who Is It For
Buying a Used PC
Boot the seller's machine with PC Checker before paying. Verify every spec claim. Check storage health. Know what you're buying.
IT Asset Auditing
Walk through an office with a USB stick and scan every machine. Export PDF reports for inventory and budget planning.
Pre-Build Validation
Just assembled a new PC? Run a full diagnostic to verify all components are recognized, healthy, and performing to spec.
Upgrade Planning
See exactly where your bottlenecks are. The scoring engine highlights weak components for each use case.
Supercharge Your Browser
Nixosoft Chrome extensions that bring intelligence to your browser.
OpenTabs
Leaderboard
Track how many browser tabs you have open and compete with others on a live leaderboard. Sync across sessions, see rankings in real time, and find out who the real tab hoarder is.
Share your XPU.
Power the cluster.
Install RemoteXPU on any PC, server, or device. It auto-registers to your private cluster and exposes a single unified OpenAI-compatible endpoint — GPU, CPU, or NPU, all sharing compute in parallel.
Your own private network.
On your own server.
A self-hosted mesh VPN — an independent alternative to Tailscale and Headscale. One machine of yours is the master server; every other machine joins it and they reach each other directly, across NATs and continents, each with a stable address on one encrypted network.
Nothing phones home. There is no Nixosoft-operated service anywhere in the path: you run the coordinator, you hold the accounts, and private keys never leave the device that generated them.
- WireGuard implemented in the client itself — no external VPN process
- Names instead of addresses, an access policy, and exit nodes
- Shell access by mesh identity — a certificate per connection, no keys to install
- Sign in with your identity provider, or a second factor from an app
iPhone and Android are not supported yet. Both need work we have not done rather than packaging we have skipped, and the release page says so.
