You’ll have to rent a starlink from Elon, so he can keep an eye on your habits too

As @TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com stated. This would never work in the US without major overhaul to existing infastructure. I’m rocking a 32/32 Mbps atm. My parents? they get 5. I have to enable steam to limit itself to 512kb/s download or I will take down their network as a whole. Remind me how a cloud based PC is going to work in this state.

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.

Well, if we go absurdly simple you only need to send user input and receive images or something that fairly easily could be rendered as an image (html?).
800dpi mouse sends about 24kbps, keyboard input is negligible. So theoretically speaking, you can do absolutely everything on such a remote PC but with a screen of 240p.
Absolutely miserable.

Easy. Remember a few years ago when google advertised that they’d have negative latency allowing you to play your games everywhere, on every device, in better conditions than on your own device? Just like that. You just have to hire enough salespeople to convince reality to bend backward.

Wait did this actually happen?
I just had to look it up, that’s actually really funny as a way to try and hide latency issues. this won’t work well with bad networks though, I could see 1 or 2 frames being delayed or missing but, that’s still a funny way of trying to fix an issue that is a pipeline problem.

Tbf RDP works pretty well for basic desktop stuff even over slow links. I’m sure there’s a protocol out there even more optimized for use cases like this.

Easy, they will just be locked out of having access to computing, that way they can only get their news and information from right-wing AM talk radio.
