In Chrome under one of the menus there is an option to raise a bug and report any issues like this :)

I used to run satellite links from Kabul to UK

The computer in Kabul had nothing more than link to the satellite server

What you saw on the screen was actually what was on the computer in the UK (Feltham to be precise).

Given the connectivity issues with a "low in sky" link it would sometimes take half a second before a key stroke in Kabul would appear on the screen. It makes quick typing a bit tricky.

BUT

The Kabul computers were effectively "dumb terminals" using all of the MS software packages etc but had nothing loaded

Disadvantages

Unless the internet connection is quick then key stroke delay could be an issue


Advantages

100% always up to date software and no hardrives etc to go wrong.

It is possible to run operating systems remotely, I've done it, but the connection needs to be fast and stable
