| Yet.

| A win for privacy?
| wepple wrote:
| Oh no no no. They'll still collect data about people.
| Just not security logs that could indicate an incident.
| Double loss for privacy.

| Not sure about your opinion about TeamViewer in particular, but
| if you manage any MacOS servers there's not much alternative
| but to have some form of remote desktop client in my
| experience. If you're on a team where everyone has Macbooks,
| you probably just use the builtin screen sharing app though.
|
| For Windows environments you're probably using Remote Desktop,
| which, enough said there.

| You can use Remote Desktop on MacOS.

| Doesn't macOS have a built-in VNC server?

| What are yall using macOS Server for? I thought it was end of

| What do you use instead?

| RustDesk has been pretty good for something that's 1:1

| AnyDesk is by former TeamViewer folks.

| Self-hosted Mesh Central.

| I dumped TeamViewer a few months ago in favor of Google
