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.

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.
Easy. Remember a few years ago when google advertised that they’d have negative latency allowing you to play your games everywhere, on every device, in better conditions than on your own device? Just like that. You just have to hire enough salespeople to convince reality to bend backward.
Well, if we go absurdly simple you only need to send user input and receive images or something that fairly easily could be rendered as an image (html?).
800dpi mouse sends about 24kbps, keyboard input is negligible. So theoretically speaking, you can do absolutely everything on such a remote PC but with a screen of 240p.
Absolutely miserable.
Easy, they will just be locked out of having access to computing, that way they can only get their news and information from right-wing AM talk radio.
You’ll have to rent a starlink from Elon, so he can keep an eye on your habits too.
Just think of the marketing potential, dynamic pricing …
(Sounds like hell to me)
the thought of dynamic pricing on-top of the outrageous base pricing makes me shudder. All that for a network that will support Elons viewpoints and not have decent stability. Man I can’t wait.
Thankfully I have the skillset to just build a system, and regardless of consumer cost if push comes to shove that will be the hill I die on. I would go computer-less as a whole before paying a monthly subscription for the privilege of it.
