Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

These companies want to own all the hardware so you are forced to rent a computer. To buy a PC that does nothing by itself and requires some remote hardware to function. Amazon is already preparing a "game streaming" service, for example.

Ahh, late to market in a flooded field with at least one law of physics preventing it from ever working acceptably. Good job, Jeff!

Good luck with that to them. Internet reliability is extremely crappy in the US, even on supposedly "tech hubs" in California the best you can do is unreliable Comcast or super slow DSL from AT&T.

I don't think any of them are terribly concerned with the quality of the service.
