This is only slightly related - I lost a small number of files with DreamHost object storage, and they were charging more than S3 per GB.
So, I agree you usually get what you pay for, but also make sure the provider is all-in on the product. I think DreamHost really isn't interested in their virtualized/cloud offerings.
I would say the technology for cloud gaming is here today, but the home internet connections of a lot of people aren't ready yet.
You witness this a lot with video conferencing. People tell one person their audio/video is shitty, and that person just shrugs and says "yeah, I have bad internet." In my head I'm screaming "Well, what have you tried?!" or "I see you sitting beside the refrigerator there!"
Ooh, we're not at the speed of light as a limit yet, are we? Do you mean "point A to point B" on fibre, or do you actually mean full on "routed-over-the-internet"? Even with fibre (which is slower than the speed of light), you're never going in a straight line. And, at least where I live, you're often back-tracking across the continent before your traffic makes it to the end destination, with ISPs caring more about saving money than routing traffic quickly.
As someone who takes an ADHD medication, I find the idea of a drug shortage terrifying. Life gets so, so much harder when I'm unmedicated.
It's like the difference between walking on a sidewalk and walking in sucking mud, with stuff falling out of your pockets you have to keep going back to find. You build a life that's only possible thanks to your ability to walk on sidewalks. If you suddenly find you can only get around by walking through mud, even with a huge amount of will power, you're going to watch your life fall apart as you just can't keep up the pace of your old life.
Two things:
It's easy to ask "why didn't Alberta diversify a bit more so this wouldn't have been so 'impossible' to do?" From this point of view, all the fuss being made comes off as Alberta whining because of their own short-sightedness.
Second, the AESO is contradicting themselves now to match the UCP narrative? Sourced from here:
Last year, an AESO report said there are multiple pathways to achieve net-zero emissions in the province’s power system by 2035, estimating the transition would require an additional $44 billion to $52 billion of investment.
Now they're saying:
Alberta won’t have enough supply to ensure the reliability of the system in 2035 and the severity of a shortfall would increase over the years.

Check out the "interchange" box on the top right. We're currently importing 132 megawatts. It's not much, but it's often higher, and it's almost always Alberta importing rather than exporting.
Just the other day my dog lost track of his frisbee in the water. It barely floats so it must be hard for him to see. He swam around in circles for a while looking for it. My wife started cheering when he would swim towards it, then go "oh! no. no. no" when he was swimming away from it. He essentially worked out hotter/colder on the spot in order to find his frisbee.
"If it's free then you're the product" isn't even true when search engines are ad supported, so stick with the much better free alternatives.
This is exactly what "you're the product" means. Google is selling your presence on their platform to advertisers - you are the product they're selling.
"Batteries == Good" is my takeaway, but if you can be grid-tied I think zero batteries is the most environmentally friendly option. For grid stabilization I imagine even still that that should be left to utility-scaled installations.
Actually, now that I wrote that, this might be true for residential grid-tie vs utility solar too.
I don't like this attitude usually, but it seems fitting here - they just don't care. I'm sure they could find your bag, every bag gets bar-coded, they just don't care.
They say no one is using these older LTS kernels, but I'm running into them all the time on Android devices. I don't know if the vendors are taking advantage of those updates, but they're definitely choosing the LTS kernels for their BSPs at release time.
I installed the Fakespot extension and then went looking through my past purchases. It seemed to work really well and called out things as shady for products that I can say, first hand, were actually kind of sketchy.
