Of course. They are free to enforce their employer's policies or lose their job. You think someone should risk losing their job to appease some idiot who won't give up his shiny gadget for a few minutes?

The USA is a rogue state. I have no desire to visit there and wish to limit its influence on my life to a minimum.

My commiserations to the citizens of the USA who have to endure its Orwellian regime and unfair, capitalist system.

The Democratic Party is an extreme, right-wing political movement. Not much different from the Republican Party,

We use this at work. We have a collection of fast servers which run complex semiconductor simulation jobs that can take days to complete. The engineers start these in an NX session then detach. They can subsequently re-attach to check the progress of this work from any site or by connecting into the company network from home via VPN. The performance of NX is acceptable for the graphical applications which display and manipulate the data.
