That’s fucking nuts because any device that can connect to a cloud is powerful enough to run an operating system (they will probably not give user access to the non-volatile memory). Just not a bloated AI spyware box that they want.

I work in embedded, and you would be surprised how much you can do with a CPU under 100mhz when there isn’t an operating system in the way. We need to get back to basics in the software industry. We’ve been going down the wrong road for a looooong time, and the AI bubble is only accelerating is in that wrong direction.
