I’d give up computing altogether, or even commit suicide if living mainly means being subservient to these soulless parasites.
Little Lex Luthor should climb into one of his dick rockets and aim for Venus.
And the future thin client will just be a locked down chatgpt prompt. It will still suck just as much as it does now. You just won’t have choice.
you’ll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud
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”
And get to it how? Through a PC?
Shitty ass thin client running cheap hw that can’t do anything, a.k.a. Chromebook.
Yeah, nope. No matter what OS, no matter what specs, I’m going to keep my PC.
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.
youll have to pry my 4 thinkpads from my cold dead hands you slimy sack of shit
Hope he falls out a 10 story window
Isn’t that where Amazon makes 1/3 of their money?
Yeah its their cash engine they use for funding everything else so they can monopolise everything else by undercutting everyone
Thanks for reminding me to tear down my test AWS instances
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.
Most people don’t need a machine, they just need a thin client
Amazing how we’re come full circle
If only “greedy” was his only problem!
