Get out of here. Airborne Internet access has gotten good enough that I spend most of my flight time RDP'd into my development machine over a VPN. It works surprisingly well, and other than occasional latency spikes I find the single, relatively small laptop screen and touchpad to be more of a hinderance than the Internet access.
- ravenstine 4y agoI agree. I've both done Zoom calls and watched YouTube videos in HD over plane wifi. There's only one zone towards the end of my trips to the other side of the country where it stops working, but hopefully more dead zones will be patched over the next decade. Internet access makes all the difference in my ability to tolerate long flights.
