Google adds free remote desktop application to chrome browser.

Here's one more way you can now access your computer. It's still in sort of beta but so far it seems to work. They still need to work on the resolution as that still didn't looked so great when I tested it out. It's nice, simple and quick so I give it thumbs up. Obviously it's nice when you are the one helping people out, but keep in mind that the "bad" guys will used these as well. So just make sure you follow the instructions before using these types of programs.



Here you can see the remote desktop I used to test this out. The video still didn't look so great but the app worked fine otherwise.

I keep reading about the new changes coming to notepad.

Here's what that is supposed to do.

However, you don't need to wait for this change as there are many text/code editors that you can use. For example here's my list.

Notepad ++ - This is a source code editor and notepad replacement for those that need a bit more from a notepad editor.

RJ-TextEd - A Unicode source and text editor

Visual Studio Code - Another free source code editor.

I just installed visual studio code and got this error, but it opened fine.

And here's the page that opens after the program installs. I'm not crazy about web pages opening automatically after you install a program though. I'm not a programmer, I just wanted to see what this one looked like for myself. I like finding programs that are simple to use and just work.
