This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
As they say in my county: "go and die far from here, so I can't smell you".
I'll host my photos on a jailbroken pregnancy test.
Fucking parasite.
I'm not sure how, but billionaires need to have their billions forcibly taken and redirected toward the public good. If humanity wants any future other than techno-feudalist fascism we need to figure out how to destroy the global billionaire class permanently within the next few decades or we are gonna be fucked for centuries. You'll rent everything and own nothing, they will bleed everyone dry, and if you rise up to disrupt the system you'll get a robot boot on your neck.

I guess there's more than one reason all pc parts are rising at a ridiculous rate

Mind that this man was extremely tech savvy, an experienced and proficient programmer and played the roles of IT solutions an security implementer and supervisor at the company we worked at. And we handled sensitive information.
To him, relegating everything to an outside server was a dream, as removed the hassle and responsability of having to maintain, repair, replace and upgrade hardware. Everything needed should be a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse or trackball.
Yeah beyond the obvious problems with latency it mostly comes down to trust: trusting them with your data, trusting them to have enough capacity and trusting to not enshittify in the future. I reserve that level of trust for close friends, certainly not companies and absolutely not bezos.
