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.

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.
