https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol — originally from the Windows world RDP “provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection“ http://www.donkz.nl/files/rdpsettings.html — a(n) “.rdp” file keeps settings to start an RDP connection — because Emacs opens such files as text files, I had no idea they are not “classic” text files, instead (according to…
