Let the people managers keep complaining how remote work is not going to work .In the meanwhile i share my amazing tip.<p>If you are on ubuntu and want to remote desktop to windows machine try this opensource amazing freerdp tool<p>$ sudo apt install freerdp2-x11
$ xfreerdp '/u:domain\username' /p:PasswordSuperSecret /v:hostname.com /w:1920 /h:1080 -grab-keyboard /monitors:0 -themes -wallpaper +fonts +clipboard -decorations
In italy some big universities (like those in Milan) started using microsoft teams for streaming lectures and indeed they already had problems last week. My girlfriend who studies there said she was constantly disconnected from the service each 2-3 minutes and had to wait the same time to reconnect successfully
Would it be better if instead of relying on centralized servers, we used p2p solutions like Jitsi, which is based on WebRTC? Some universities and companies could even set up TURN servers for public use
I am sure that AWS, Azure and Google Cloud will be the next victims of COVID-19. There's just no way to scale infrastructure up as fast as necessary. People think about cloud as 'elastic' but there's a fixed number of data centers with a fixed number of servers in each at any give time.
My manager forced me to use teams, and I gotta say its down half the time, messages go late. Its basically as bad As skype and there is no reason it should be better in the future.<p>Microsoft is terrible at making product and will remain so for the future.
