Technology

I already sort of do this with my gaming machine. It lives on a cloud host and I connect with a client.

It’s cheaper and more convenient than buying a new PC - especially since I’ve got three gamers in my house - and offloading graphics means I can get better battery life when playing on my laptop in my hammock.

However, if you’re more than a couple hundred miles from the data center or there’s network problems you won’t be having much fun. That’s the only reason I’d want an actual gaming machine, and even then I’d play via remote desktop from my hammock.

I'm sure he celebrates the soaring cost of DIMMs as they drive PC prices out of reach.

Maybe I would rent a cloud PC but not from a big US company or any USA based service or software company.

Terry Davis was right...

I think we've mostly done that already. Pretty much everything we use runs in "the cloud" and most things we use locally don't require any compute power. Pretty much all you need is a bit of RAM to run the browser.

Problem is if you want solid build quality and a nice keyboard and trackpad, etc. you can't get that without a PC with a $1000 processor shoehorned into it.

People complaining about ram and GPU prices don't know how to make a budget.

It's just skill issue, not a plan for our technomaniac overlords to take away our technology from our hands

Though this is all motivated by capitalistic expansion, it's also worth noting that liberals have been trying to eliminate the dissent facilitated through online activism and information campaigns for a few years now. Ownership over our PCs means that there can always be an internet operated and monitored by us.

edit: Pretty sure some of you don't know what liberalism is.

From a different perspective, renting a pc and having a thin client would be a lot better for the environment and cheaper for the consumer.

Sadly I don’t think that’s the goal of these companies
