How often do you want to be working on documents offline? While in theory for traveling sales people or something that could make a lot of sense, it's not a task I ever really want in IT.
In reality, not that often. However, there are rare occurrences where I could be working on a "guide" or something similar. Those are rare cases though, and in those rare cases, I'm sure I could use Google Docs to capture whatever I need to capture.
Yeah, lots of ways to do that. I never use things like Word docs for IT guides, not generally a good format for that compared to a wiki or similar. But in cases where I need to work offline, I normally use text editors or whatever and transfer to a final formatting later.

MS Office is specifically problematic because they make it in order to sell MS Office on premises deployments. So they don't make their online version work offline like everyone else does.

Sunday afternoon releases around here.

@fuznutz04 the only app that really works with RDP and Chromebooks is
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-rdp/cbkkbcmdlboombapidmoeolnmdacpkch?hl=en-US
And it has a cost of $9.99 perpetual license.

10 bucks is fine if it works well. Do you have experience with it? How is it?
-
@fuznutz04 Yes, I have experience it a lot. It is the best app for it . Though it doesn't save RDP files or run remote apps.

I think I can get the data off of this still.
BTW: This is one of the four drives out of the Dell PowerEdge Server I got from NTG HQ last year.
@art_of_shred, @Minion-Queen and @scottalanmiller are rough on drives...

One of the things I did when I needed to relax and make sure data never left the building, tearing platters out of drives. That one's even more epic than most of my failures have been. Doesn't look like there is a read/write head left on it!
-
Nope - Completely gone. There was a lot of fine dust in the can... Of all the drives I've torn down over the last thirty years,... this is the worst ... by far. I think all the platters I have (supper glued into a single stack) are still 'prestine'

Yeah, most platters I've pulled out have looked fine (tho they almost all had obvious indentations on the platter(s) when you ran a knife edge over them.)
I always wanted to melt them down in a forge.

I really want to perform Destruction by Thermite. I keep meaning to contact the local State Police office to make sure that making or having Thermite isn't illegal.... I know the Railroad companies use it to weld new track... but...

Really getting tired of no wifi or cell service.
Only have connectivity while at the clubhouse.

Driving home to Omaha from the St Paul, MN yesterday was a nightmare. Traffic was horrible!!!! Toss on that several construction choke points (40+ mins to travel 2.6 miles) it was a very stressful drive home - almost no cruise control.

At least you weren't in danger of falling sleep at the wheel, I hope!

Actually for a time I was - but then I found a second wind... and it was gone - it was kinda weird.

That's the way it goes for me too. If I push through the 3 hour mark, I'll be good for 8 or 9 hours.
