From my (limited) experience RDP is significantly better than VNC in terms of sluggishness and glitches. The second thing is that both VNC and RDP will try to transmit those parts of the screen that changed since the last frame rather than

Since the GP mentioned it is a machine from 1998 I would expect it to be PII with a clock above 200MHz. Since the Moore's law actually worked in the 90's that machine will be a lot more powerfull than that 586 (from 94-95 I guess)

On the other hand, automatically labeling everything temperature related as "caused by climate change" is not a proper argument as well. I mean this is most likely actually related to climate change, but this should be verified&#x

The usual answer to such question is "it depends". That being said, heart related sounds are generally low-frequency while breathing/lung related sounds are broadband so they do contain a significant higher frequency part.
