A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.

Bucha Bull to me.

    Why in the fuck did we move away from mainframes and dumb terminals in the first place, Bozes? Now back to that, but… cloud based, and we pay you to fuckin own everything? Get bent!

    As @[email protected] stated. This would never work in the US without major overhaul to existing infastructure. I’m rocking a 32/32 Mbps atm. My parents? they get 5. I have to enable steam to limit itself to 512kb/s download or I will take down their network as a whole and if anyone is using youtube or netflix it has to be a 240p or it starts to granulate. Remind me how a cloud based PC is going to work in this state.

    Imagine the unparalleled censorship when the far-right tech elites decide what you can do on “your” computer.

    So, these idiots didn’t learn their lesson the first time with the colossal flop that was Stadia and now they want to convince us that, this time for sure, we really don’t want to own our own hardware and cloud computing is the future?

    These guys should not be getting a single bent penny for convincing people to switch over to cloud computing when their AI slop machines are responsible for the scarcity that is causing hardware prices to be completely uneconomical.
