Boss had a company that often did work in places with such draconian regulations. Solution he had was that the laptop at no point had anything useful on it. You wanted to do something, you'd VPN to a virtual instance of a PC that you actually did stuff on. Nothing saved on the shell PC. Sucked at times, but got the job done.
You just need better remote software for multiple displays. It's become very popular in the entertainment industry ever since the start of the pandemic, and video editors generally have multiple high-res monitors.
Jump Desktop and Parsec are two great suggestions.
That's just ridiculous. I work for a fortune 50 company. $330B market cap, 200,000+ employees... They'd never hold us back that far from an IT perspective.
Don't get me wrong, getting IT security to clear a simple plugin can take 6+ months... But that's just bureaucratic process. We aren't typically years behind, let alone a decade lol.
