I can’t use a desktop on a ferry or plane or at my Aunt’s over Thanksgiving

  Your working equipment shouldn't be optimized around the possibility of you logging in for five minutes while on holiday.

    When you travel a fair bit for work or support WFH environments, I think it should cater for that, right?

  So you make a massive compromise for something that happens twice a year?

  Ferry* and maybe plane i understand, but especially the later is changing with many flights offering (complimentary) internet service afaik, but your aunt i don't. The alternative, to me normal setup would be using a workstation at the office and then remoting into it via SSH (behind a VPN, VSCode supports this great). This allows for a thinner client (eg Macbooks Air) which need less replacement and where battery runtime/portability can be weighed more. Sure now connectivity is a concern but to me that's mostly a non issue where i travel/the work spots i choose, but i guess it can become more of a problem in other (less developed) parts of the world... * this will probably also change with naval Starlink becoming deployed more...
