Yes and no. I have enjoyed reading through this approach, but it seems like a slippery slope from this to “vibe knowledge” where LLMs are used for actually trying to add / infer information.

This is a privacy, security, economical / environmental sustainability, and last but not least probably a usability nightmare.

Can’t wait for the LLM / gen AI bubble to pop to see what remains, hopefully this “browser” won’t.

mstsc.exe was exactly the one I used. I vaguely remember that I had used that successfully some years ago (in a much bigger environment with proper certs) and it worked.

Regarding NLA: I believe that I would have to disable that on purpose no? It was on a very vanilla Windows 11 install. I just looked and regarding any other settings than the ones listed in mstsc.exe, I get told that Windows 11 Home edition doesn’t support RDP lol.

I recently used the old Windows RDP client they refer to. I tried to connect to a Windows VM and it didn’t work. Had to pull out some old log utility tool and filter a while to recognize the server didn’t use a valid TLS certificate (lives inside a VPN) and the handshake failed. Tried disabling cert validation (although I’m not sure if that one obfuscated option did exactly that), still no luck.

I then tried KRDP in KDE. It asked me if I’m sure I wanted to connect since the cert is self signed. It even showed me the cert info and I know the issuer in person. I accepted and got in. Easy as that.

Says / asks an article in a media spin-off created by a big fintech company, which has been funded by, among others, Peter Thiel by a big digital finance publisher / SaaS and advertising company with a history of not disclosing their investors, probably laying off people and heavily investing in AI themselves.

Yes, the tech sector is in a harsh condition, but we will go on. Don’t let the AI hype / lay off waves for an overhired tech workforce from covid break your minds. There will be a need for smart people building and maintaining ecosystems, as long as a rising tech oligarchy won’t gatekeep us all out, which should be the headline here.

Edit: I can’t find a link between the fintech wise and the publisher wise. I still don’t like this type of sensationalist headlines as all technology gets allegedly obsoleted every other year.
