The poor technicians having to RDP with (what I imagine must be) a horrible latency. Although still might be better than some corporate environments lol

- pinum 7mo agoAt its current distance, best case RTT would be about 420ms
- EvanAnderson 7mo agoThat wouldn't be terrible to use. I feel like I've done worse supporting in-cab computers on fleet vehicles across 3G cellular. Keyboard shortcuts and "caching" the state of the remote client in your mind are the keys to doing that work.
- HeyLaughingBoy 7mo agoYup. 57kbps transatlantic modem connection to a remote desktop in some country with poor telephone connectivity was probably even worse. Never want to have to do that again!
- Thlom 7mo agoLow bandwidth is a bigger problem than high latency. If it takes half a second or even a second for your clicks to register it's not a big deal, you learn to work around it. But if the bandwidth is so low that it takes 5-10 seconds just to write the screen it really sucks.
- ricardobeat 7mo agoI don’t know if this craft has it, but they’ve been announcing all over that we’ll get 4K over a 260mbps link from the moon, so that shouldn’t be a problem

- icehawk 7mo agoAt the time they were ~57,000km out and I calculated it was at least 380ms RTT to the ground receiver, so bad but not unusable.
- reaperducer 7mo agoThe poor technicians having to RDP with (what I imagine must be) a horrible latency. Once or twice a month, I have to RDP (now "Microsoft Windows App!") into a Windows XP machine on the other side of the continent through a jump box and a dialup connection. Latency is bad, but not as terrible as you might think. The worst part is moving files between localhost and remote.
- londons_explore 7mo agoRDP in the windows XP days supported all kinds of tricks to work with low bandwidths like doing rendering on the client not the server. I think most of those tricks have been disabled in modern windows for better security (you don't want some guest user able to feed your not-so-robust awfully complex rendering code some malicious inputs...)
- majkinetor 7mo agoThey do not have to RDP. Powershell remoting or SSH are way faster way to examine the system.
- nasretdinov 7mo agoSure, and it's genuinely great they finally have effectively SSH, but is it going to be sufficient to troubleshoot Outlook..?
