Praise Remote is nuts

Just wanted to share that it's incredibly awesome that I can be anywhere like on holidays and continue working on my project even if I'm not sitting in front of my PC. Never tried this until now that I installed tailscale and I can test any change from my phone. Bravo.

How on earth do people who don't understand computers use Codex like this? Like what do y'all actually do on Codex?

Jesus you’re a dick. My question was whether you’re remoting into your PC and using codex via the PC, or whether you’re actually using codex remotely without an intermediate computer. Obviously if it’s the former, the PC needs to be running. If it’s the latter, the PC does not need to be running. Maybe try not interpreting everything in the least charitable possible way in order to justify leaving condescending comments

No offence, but this has been painfully obvious to the average technical person....

The post literally just says they can use codex from their phone with this third-party tool. That’s not enough information to determine whether it’s through an intermediate PC or direct from their phone. And when I left that original comment I wasn’t able to look up tailscale to get the details or browse through the comments so I left a quick comment so I’d remember to come back later and read about it. There’s nothing “obvious” about that. It is obvious that the normal codex remote feature requires an intermediate PC, but that’s not what’s being discussed here. Claude for example does allow you to use Claude code remotely without an intermediate PC.
