You can’t interact with a computer in the cloud though without some kind of computer in front of you.
We'll just return to terminals. Just a screen, and input devices connected to a server :(
Right but surely you still need a CPU and RAM at the very least to process the Remote Desktop connection.
I bit of ram, but then I'd imagine you only need some purpose built chip for the connection, input and display logic. Effectively you'd need little more than a chrome cast-like device.
Chips of any kind are the issue. All the silicon fabs are being diverted to cover these insane datacenter orders. Like they're backordered out over a year at this point. All to boost a tech bubble for a product that doesn't work
I'm going back to my old Mac III. Screw this nonsense
