It’s like the old IBM PCs, where you load the OS on your RAM but from the cloud instead of an 8-inch floppy disk.

    So, a 1980s terminal device. Where you pay rent to use your computer and access your files, and you own literally nothing. Watch the masses flock like sheep to it.

    “Wow, this is worthless!” And expensive.

    Can currently buy a $150 laptop that can actually do things offline. Fucking $349 for a piece of junk that can only do something when connected to the internet and with a paid subscription is utterly pointless besides fixing the artificial problem of new version updates, i.e. Windows 11 > Windows 12.
