I am getting a new laptop today so I'll have an option to work remotely (if needed).. yay?!

What kind of laptop? And do you also need some kind of vpn thing to get into the corporate network etc.?

@alexbrooklyn not sure, I'll see when I get it..some HP model I think. I just hope it has a decent resolution, so I wont't have to code with 7 lines visible on 10by10cm space.. o.O

I already have vpn set up, but my private laptop is old & quirky.. last week I took it from bedrom to living room & he no longer knew it had any kind of OS installed.. o.O no linux, no windows.. only bunch of bad sectors on disk..

Good stuff - make sure you get a proper set up for remote working with a screen and adjustable desk etc. 👍🏻

Nice! My fiancee and I the other day decided to actually start putting together a decent workspace for when we WFH...got an ultrawide monitor and a new desk etc. I pushed the issue citing COVID but really I just wanted to get new stuff lol

@aykay76 Not rly.. my internet at home is bare minimum + it has connection issuess.. I usually spend 9h on average at work so there never was need for fast & reliable internet access at home as I am absent most of the time... o.O

As for the setup.. I get a laptop, that's it. So I'll probably have to hijack one monitor & keyboard from work setup & just hope for the best..

Also we're starting test remote work in two days & the guy responsible for setting up new lappy hasn't even started yet..this will be fun.. xD

It's needed..starting monday schools close here.. we're on indefinite remote work since wednesday.. pooop..

P.S. laptop is cool. I like it a lot. His name is lappy..may he survive all the madness..
