Rudder served from a remote host says it runs on your own computer, not that the engine is broken

Browse source 
The engine records the microphone of the machine it runs on, so a cloud dev
server has none by design. Off loopback (and not the desktop app), an absent
engine now reads "Runs on your computer" with where to open Rudder instead,
rather than build instructions for a missing binary.
