| 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 |

| At 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. |

| They do not have to RDP. Powershell remoting or SSH are way faster way to examine the system. |

| The 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 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | RDP 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...) |

| At its current distance, best case RTT would be about 420ms |

| ▲ | EvanAnderson 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | That 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. | | |
| ▲ | Thlom 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Low 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. | | |
