To be fair a lot of people did. Even the Succulent Chinese Meal guy.

Yeah we should focus on something real like how Bowie had a good opinion of the National Front in the 70s

Thanks for reminding me to tear down my test AWS instances

Privacy doesn’t exist on corporate networks, so they don’t. However, the early thin clients had local servers. I don’t know how the very largest companies would feel about giving Amazon that much power.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Even on WiFi with other peoples streaming it’s good enough to play games like Minecraft and Subnautica, but since I mainly play boring stuff like KSP or Civ latency isn’t much of an issue.
What I won’t do is tell you who my provider is because they’re already having problems at peak times and I don’t want to make it worse.

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.

From an IT operations perspective this makes so much sense they’ve already tried it before. They were called “thin clients” and just had enough compute and network to connect to run remote desktop software.
This greatly reduces the amount of spending you need to build out a large corporate network, and centralizes management just like they already do with stuff like VMWare.
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 1 week ago:
Good to know. But unless you want to be giving Rivers Cuomo the autofocus ones probably aren’t your style.
Also, could there be a backlash against thick frames in the future because they might be hiding electronics
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 1 week ago:
Plus “clunky” bifocals have way fewer moving parts and can be made with thin wire frames so they’re lighter.
I’m sure there might be someone with really bad eyesight for whom these might be useful - like if the near and far prescriptions are too different to be possible, maybe - but this is inferior to the actual solution in almost every way.

Good point.
Gonna blaze up next to an oxygen tank now.

Lighting the lighter in an enclosed space that probably has oxygen tanks is definitely not a good idea
