Have you considered, as a service to humanity or yourself, to teach and share how this could be done "properly"? You clearly appear to have some knowledge of techniques that, while you think them obvious, other people don't

Note that I didn't say it isn't up to scratch. I was referring to others in this thread who said the protocols were subpar. Although RDP still does not support full-screen use on, say, 2 out of 3 monitors in a multi-monitor setup

Can anyone recommend a similar service that provides true high-quality video chat functionality on par with FaceTime but not requiring Apple hardware (but still easily usable on mobile)? We're looking for such a service for use in deve

Can I ask what other platforms you have in mind that have feature parity with Citrix (more or less) but have even less attractive price points or are more convoluted to set up? I mean there are only like three or four major players in this

I know you are correct but I don't really see why it's gotta (continue to) be like that. If legacy protocols like RDP and PCoIP aren't up to a modern, multi-4k-monitor workstation environment, this field is ripe for disruptio

I would argue that price and complexity are exactly what caused the other issues you mentioned. Add the ridiculously glossy, pie-in-the-sky marketing mumbo-jumbo that gets sold to execs and combine it with the fact that it us literally im

Looks potentially interesting and I might check it out. At first glance, a few caveats and potential deal breakers occurred to me from a non-technical perspective: - the 14-day trial (PoC'ing something like this in anything less than 8

Does anyone know what - if any - framework, template etc. is used for this blog? I like the simple, clean layout a lot.

Are you aware of any modern alternatives to these old 30" 16:10 monitors? For me, these are the gold standard, the perfect size of monitor - but I wish they would create a modern version with slimmer or no bezels, as well as possibly u

Did (or could) you blog somewhere about any details, how these things happened and how you dealt with these tricks, threats and accusations? I reckon it would be very helpful for others in the industry to learn from your experience and at t

This whole thread has got to be among the most, shall we say, eyebrow-raising ones I've ever read on HN. It has everything from "just drive 20 minutes to 2 hours to the next town to print a couple pages" to "just don&#x2

Is there a function for this to populate the clipboard with the predefined text and maybe open the messaging program (like Signal, Telegram, Wire, WhatsApp)? This way it could also be used relatively easily with these apps which probably ca

Look, I completely get what you're saying. It probably would be more precise to say the price points of Protonmail's tiers are not competitive . Sure, Google can offer cheaper prices due to exploitation of data (even though on G

I've said this before but I've been waiting for almost five years now to switch to Protonmail personally - and with several clients, SMEs and startups. Why haven't I done it? Well, for one, to this day their pricing and featu

Are you saying companies and the financial industry are operating outside the legal system? (I'm being facetious here but only slightly... ;-)).

Please, how do you buy a piece of real estate anonymously? Come on, that's not a thing. Certainly not anonymous in respect to the government. A pass-through-LLC means everything is directly in your name and if you don't report it

I get that. How would that help you do any money-laundering though? (Not saying that you would do that but that's the subject of the thread ;-)). You couldn't just set up a second or third Delaware LLC and move money back and fo

I hear this a lot and on the face of it, it sounds plausible but I have worked with a number of startups from before their founders incorporated and I don't think, "setting up dummy companies in 30 min" is a thing. You need d

I think Logitech is the Google of input devices. And not in a good way. They tend to design awesome, clever, stylish devices (used to be of good quality too, not so sure recently) only to kill them silently after a short time. And when I

While I agree with you on principle that "guilt by association" and "can't be true because the wrong person said it" is a currently popular but dangerously flawed and reprehensible concept, I say that's a red h

Worth noting that this is not an article but a clickbait opinion piece. I think the reason people are unhappy in their home offices is not because they "crave" their cubicles or open-space abominations at work but because their ho

Apparently, the term "carbon footprint" was popularized by the oil company BP over a two-decade, multi-million dollar marketing campaign in order to convince "ordinary people" to take a share of blame for environmental c
