Seriously. It needs to be explained the FIRST TIME it appears, and it shouldn't be abbreviated in the title. I read for a minute thinking he was talking about Chrome Remote Desktop (which is what CRDT means to me).

Mods, can we expand the acronym in the title of this submission please?

Or some new-old sort of visual display device ... Cathode Ray Display Terminal :)

That was my first thought. "Wait... is there such a thing as a cathode-ray DIGITAL tube now...?!?!"

I mean, if SLR's became DSLR's... I just assume any "D" means we're digital now! :)

If I didn't use Chrome Remote desktop every day then this definitely would've been my initial assumption as well. Acronym for an obsolete technology but with an added "D"? We've gone digital now, baby!
