Chrome Remote Desktop is generally great -- but not so much if you run a Chromebook or Chromebox
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/dSgvp1153mG It's a real shame that Google still doesn't publicly respond to concerns that there is no mechanism in Chrome OS for "permanent" Remote Desktop access to Chromebooks and Chromeboxes (as there is for Windows). Remote Desktop for Chrome is great in general, but horribly hobbled for CrOS. It must be manually setup each time a connection is needed, and then the connection must be manually renewed at the remote side every 10 minutes or so -- making it largely useless for remote support of inexperienced or accessibility-challenged users and in many corporate environments. The bug on this keeps growing (the original description is worded wrong, but just read the bug and you'll understand). No comment from Google, no word from Google, just a growing list of frustrated users: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=471639 --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
