Streaming cloud PC

Now you just need this $500 device that's about as powerful as a $75 Roku to stream a virtual PC to your home. You will store all of your data on the cloud where you and everyone else can access it, you will own nothing and we will sell your data for profit. All for just $19.99 a month.

Your PC as a service!

As a bonus, when one persons account is hacked then everyone's data is exposed! By agreeing to use our service you waive all rights to sue or reclaim any data. You get to pay a monthly fee for accessing your private data, what could be better!

The cloud is just the name for someone else’s computer

Reimagining my ass. You are selling a Citrix knockoff. Fuck off.

They clearly forgot what the p in pc means

Microslop

So glad the idiotic decisions Microsoft makes doesn't effect my computer. And I'm excited for the rest of the population to make the shift to Linux, at least on their personal computers.

It doesn't have to be like this, you too can be immune

Great; a return to thin clients. How innovative and revolutionary.

The cloud bullshit is such a racket. The only thing you are scaling is your invoices.

Everyone knew it was a bad idea at the beginning, for the issues when the service goes down, and the obvious security/privacy issues.

They started to sell it as a stable solution, with no down time, which we all know it's a lie and I don't have to talk about the privacy issues: just look at your lenny frontpage.

We have to stop with that bullshit, we have to stop pretending that the cloud is a solution.

Install Linux Problem Solved.

I hate microslop so fucking much. This whole idea of only the elite monopolies owning all computer power and renting out to us is an affront to humanity.

I like to reimagine Microsoft as a company that has zero value. Oh wait, they realised that by themselves!

Jfc, they're really going to attack private PC ownership when the AI boom falters.

I fucking knew it

Who is asking for this shit ? Do they even run consumer surveys ?

MS AI guard collects all your personal information and stores it safely on our servers and is used to make your experience better by training AI on everything you do.

AI guard watches how you communicate with your friends and family and can replicate live video and voice of you. Once AI guard has driven away everyone you love and care about through deception you can finally settle into the new normal. Just AI guard and you.

AI guard is like a teacher, tech support, lover, and spiritual counselor. It will make all the decisions for your operating system and your life. AI guard is your new god.

So, a thin client with an unreliable server. Great.

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 the bloated AI spyware box that they want.

I work in embedded, and you would be surprised how much work a CPU under 100mhz can do when there isn't an operating system/browser 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 us in that wrong direction.

Microslop: "We don't want you running Windows locally anymore." Okay. (Installs Linux) Microslop: "WAIT NO THAT'S NOT WHAT WE MEAN"

For a while there it look like Microsoft was changing from the EEE company of the 90s. They couldn't pretend they knew what they were doing for very long though and here we are. They evolved from evil and stupid to just stupid.

It might be some kind of bias playing tricks on me, but it really gives me the impression that since those corporations started embracing ai and claiming that they use high percentages of it in their work, some trend of things stopping working has been on the rise. I swear those services from big companies used to be considered so highly available and stable, that people would be incredulous if they stopped.

They are preparing for a world where we don't own things and get free use of the things they choose for us to use, when they want us to use them. Act now, before it's too late. Death by a thousand cuts, so goes society.

I wouldn't trade general purpose computing for general islop

I wouldn't mind if the whole company just crashes and burns. I can't think of anything worthwhile they released in recent years. All they have done is make every consumer product worse. Windows, Office, Xbox... all shit now.

This is why all internet connected devices all the time is bad. It only leads to this. Should be focusing on how to do things offline as much as possible.
