Wondering if Google would themselves launch such a workspace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfLc4U8pnPk
The idea is to have a vnc/remote-desktop style machine on AWS. Just need only a client (secure chromeOS)

#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
I meant a push notification to accept/decline login (so without code in fact). I've seen Google Authenticator do this (for Google accounts), or the Blizzard Authenticator. I would guess that Duo has a product for this.
Then it's separate feature from TOTP. It's not a real 2fa because it works like service>duo>user where duo can accept anything for you.
Agreed. I said "TOTP app" where I should have said "2FA app".
I still think it's a second factor. Only a third party might have access to the factor too, like SMS codes/3DSecure.

#53I have a potential application for a U2F keys and I'm wondering why you recommend the $18 Yubikey on Amazon versus the $10 one that is also FIDO certified. Is there a difference in the function or some other important difference?

#54> When things get completely borked (which in two weeks of heavy use only happened a couple of times for me) how are people willing to live with this?

Does that actually exist?

#55In March, we have seen reports of Android Studio possibly coming to Chrome OS. Android Studio would mean IntelliJ IDEA and the entire family of IntelliJ IDEs. That would make this an even better idea.
Is it not currently possible to install any GUI-based IDEs into Chrome OS?

My Macs have an uptime in months. Sometimes I have to restart a process, but needing to restart the machine is exceedingly rare outside of the normal security update related reboots.
Over the years I have given quite a few presentations to customers and at public talks. None of my machines ever let me down.

#57One of the BIGGEST drawbacks using a Chromebook with 11.6 inch screen that nobody here talks about yet, is the grainy and crappy 1366 x 768 screen resolution! I've been a long time Macs guy anything inferior than RetinaDisplay will considerably straining my eyes before I am used to it. Dell XPS 13 included.

Yeah, but probably not on a developers laptop. Even my mac does an occasional BSOD (aka kernel panic).
That said, multiple times a week is very silly. Once a month would probably top out my personal tolerance for similar bugs.

#59Yubikeys tend to wear out your USB ports after a bit I found, at least on my X201 and the X61 that preceded it.
Any port used frequently will wear out - they have limited life spans due to the moving parts. I see it with my external display ports pretty frequently.
One potential solution is a USB hub, or even a USB extension cable you keep plugged in.

#60Also, it feels like this Samsung Chromebook 3 is just tiny bit (I am sure it isn't but it feels that way) of upgrade from the famous Dell mini 9[1] from almost a decade ago.
It was super hackable and most people bought it installed hackintosh on it and with a near perfect hardware compatibility with OS X Snow Leopard. A few friends of mine went to Africa for a few months with Dell Mini 9 and were able to freelance their with a fully functional yet super affordable hackintosh Mac. I wish Dell can have another of those netbook lines with compatible hardwares.
