My job trialled azure cloud PCs a couple of years ago.

It was pretty good from my point of view as a user.

However the cost was higher than $8000 laptops we have, so we didn’t adopt it.

Wonder if it’s still the same. Guessing the cloud is still suffering the same hardware price hike anyway.

Yeah but how else can I exchange shower nudes ?

Yeah it’s wild.

All of my female partners have about 20 likes for every 1 that I, a male get from females.

I think I prefer to be on this side of the fence to be honest. Having more than a handful of people to chat with at once would be overwhelming.

I just swapped from Mint to Kubuntu running Wayland by default.

KDE does make dragging the RDP window over two screens a lot easier given the full screen, maximise, move and resize menu options are always there working.

But proper full screen over two screens still locks the RDP session to one screen only.

I certainly like KDE more than cinnamon.

I have asked them. It’s an entirely windows centric business. The ticket is “low priority”. WFH has been shifting slowly from a right to a luxury.

I guess I need to do what I can at my end by selecting the most suitable distro / DE.

Yes but our remote access is locked inside Citrix workspace. No control to do anything but use the RDP inside that.

We used to have a different method where by we connected to the company VPN from our home PC, then used a remote connection via that. It worked so well, no lag, full clipboard and drives support. This apparently meant our home PC was a security risk on the company network.

New IT banned that method and switched to Citrix workspace with RDP locked down inside that. Apparently it is much more secure. It is a bug ridden laggy piece of shit to use though and that is on windows. Linux version is no different in terms of lagging.

My company uses RDP locked down inside Citrix workspace.

You have to use the RDP in the workspace. Not roll your own remote connection. There are no other apps inside our workspace.

Not sure how to explain it better than that.

Most of the stuff I’ve read points to Citrix workspace being equally old and outdated thus being better on x11 than Wayland.

Yeah that’s not the same thing that my work uses.

I don’t get a choice of remina.

Sounding good. This was with a RDP session to a remote Windows PC?

I couldn’t stop laughing when one of my kids showed me a picture of his 10 year old friend’s effort with the texta. We are talking comical magician curly moustache. Roblox verified that account as 18 though and now that account can’t talk to his school friends.

It took me longer than many but I accepted it to.

Never going back to cable slap when exercising. True wireless buds for ever.

SD card would certainly be nice still.

But realistically I’ll likely still buy this as long as it has half decent specs and is IP67+

Ironically I bought a cheap moto g because microslop intune settings where I work do not allow for Graphene os in the attestation check. Only use it when wfh so if I’m away from my desk I don’t miss teams calls and look like I’m doing laundry (which I probably am)

Truth be told I was hoping for Sony because I really like their high end phones from a hard ware point of view.

This better be flagship level specs.

Just try it and see if it works for you.

I’ve found one or two 20h fasts per week very effective at shedding fat without losing too much muscle mass. Much less effort than counting macros every day.

Can’t harvest your data when shut down? They have fixed that problem!

So I’m forced to use windows at work like the majority of my industry.

The start bar is still a thorn in my side since we switched from 10 to 11.

Standard office set up is 2 x 1920x1200 monitors and a 1920x1080 laptop. Some just leave the laptop shut when docked.

I preferred having it on a stand and using the lap top screen real estate.

In windows 10 I could make a monitor the primary and have a start bar only on the laptop. Not being able to do that in windows 11 is fucking annoying. They also fucked up auto hide start bar, it’s always jumping up for bullshit I don’t care about and not hiding when it should. I gave in and accepted I can’t have those bottom few lines of screen real estate because they are Microsoft’s.

As an engineer I do sometimes get feelings of imposter syndrome. But then I look at what Microsoft did to the start bar in windows 11 and think well at least I didn’t do that.

As far as laws regarding digital rights / freedoms go, we have no chance in Australia anyway as the major parties are all against them.

In fact the coalition has an even worse track record than labor.
