there's this innovative new idea called "using the computer that's right in front of you" but I guess that's not secure enough or sth

@noiob My company, at some point in preparations for a big overhaul, had configuration, where you had to log-in via remote access, and then in order to have access to a specific program it was itself opened over an additional remote connection.

It was wild.

@noiob Some of this config would have made sense back when those client devices weren't able to do anything except accessing your workspace on a remote server. But it grew unreliable and unsafe, already when I was starting to work at my workplace.

They're still dealing with some leftovers of technical debt from this period (it should be over soon, though.
