What method/dock are you using to connecte the two screens..?

[flipstah]

@D'z Nutz please find some elastic bands ASAP. Or zip ties. I'm in the same boat as you, unfortunately.

[ercchry]

Did someone say cables?

[ExtraSlow]

The cable situation on my desk is worse than your Eric. It's madness. May take a few minutes to clean that up today.

My work laptop is a 2013 Macbook Pro which has two Thunderbolt ports, so I have a DisplayPort to Mini Display cable for each monitor at the moment. If I get new monitors, at least I'll be able to daisy chain them so that'll start to clean up a bit of the clutter. Unfortunately the monitors I'm looking at won't be shipping out until May at the earliest. Blech.

I've got velcro strips. Elastic bands dry up and get brittle and zip ties are too permanent.

I recommend moving to a wired connection if at all possible. Anything you can do to maximize reliability and minimize latency will help RDP substantially.

Food and food supply chain. Pharmacy. That's about it I would bet. Ontario announcing them tomorrow.

Gotta get me some essential services pay and I’m not in the public sector so I won’t feel guilty about it.

I wish timetracking was essential because I sure can use day care right about now.

We'll, GameStop/EBgames is calling themselves essential. So there's the bar.

Our CEO is insisting we are, as apparently compressor shacks are essential to run pipelines to get oil to power stations. I'd call that a stretch, but I'd rather not argue and be laid off.
