There will be plenty of uses for high speed wireless connections once the new mobile networks with big capacities come online. There's pleeeenty of research on the applications.

A huge part of newer mobile network generations is the increased capacity. Faster speeds is effectively the same as more capacity in the towers.
This means that companies could actually afford to start offering unlimited data caps, there just has to be the push to do so. But I do genuinely believe that within a decade there will be no more datacaps for mobile data in cities, at least (or at least plenty of plans with unlimited and no throttling). Well, idk about the US considering you got data caps on broadband, but, I'm sure Europe will get it.
I always considered this comic to be tongue in cheek, In practice it would not end up like this.
Yeah, we really are steamrolling right into a cyberpunk dystopia, aren't we? Well, if we can even include the world "punk" there. It might as well just be cyber-capitalism in the end.
Seriously? That's my home setup, and a lot of my friends also have 3 monitors.
I'm surprised you don't know anyone who has three monitors. It's common for tech-y people.
It's not practical given our current technology, but theoretically it could be in the (far) future, in a situation where energy is abundant but matter is not.
Which, admittedly, is likely gonna stay a very niche situation. Mass is the densest form of energy that we know of, after all.
Windows being a monopoly isn't a good thing either.
In fact, I'd say it's almost worse than steam having a monopoly on video games, because windows is an operating system.
My arch install doesn't brick itself by itself. Sometimes an update needs some manual intervention but that doesn't brick it.
Neither do they have a right to a platform, hence, deleted off of the platform.
Well, that's the thing, it's the core part of their entire business. The glue that sticks everything together. Or at least used to be until Azure.
To me it's absurd how Microsoft gets beaten by a free desktop environment when windows is like their main product. They have billions of dollars. How do they manage to not do better?
Don't misunderstand what a server means, however. Just because something is called a server doesn't mean it's not made for the desktop. It's a technical term that doesn't necessarily relate to networking, it might just relate to stuff like inter-process communication.
However, Wayland is designed for the desktop environment. It's like the main reason why it replaces X11, which was designed for terminals.
