Amazon's Jeff Bezos once revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options. Will DRAM prices make it come true?

    He can hope a lot of things, but Stadia sure didn’t take.

      I had a friend who was a true believer in Stadia, he even sold his gaming PC as he was gaming in Stadia full time.

      When Stadia shut down he told me “at least I get to keep the controller”

    We all keep hoping he’ll stop being a greedy asshole and he hasn’t tried to do that so i guess we’ll all have to live with the disappointment.

    I’m not so sure how ‘quiet’ it was. We’ve been putting desktops in the cloud for quite a while now.

    I’ll repeat what I said elsewhere:

    Renting PCs is probably overall cheaper and a lot better for the environment. Most people don’t need a machine, they just need a thin client and something to access a few apps maybe 30 mins a day.

    Even “power users” don’t need a machine.

    If there were a non-profit or not-for-profit that was selling maybe an rpi we’d be saving a lot of money and reducing climate harm.

    I just don’t trust bezos to not be greedy.
