They clearly forgot what the p in pc means
They’re trying to redefine it to Profitable Computing:
Great; a return to thin clients. How innovative and revolutionary.
Install Linux Problem Solved.
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!
Jfc, they’re really going to attack private PC ownership when the AI boom falters.
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.
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.
Who is asking for this shit ? Do they even run consumer surveys ?
Corporations who want to fire their desktop support team.
Shareholders want the line to go up. Trapping everyone into endlesss subscriptions is a great way to guarantee revenue.
Why would they ask consumers what they want when they can tell consumers what they want. What are you gonna do, move to Linux?
Shareholders are asking for it, since monthly recurring revenue is great for profit sheets.
They run plenty of surveys, but the results go right in the trash.
Microslop
The cloud is just the name for someone else’s computer
They are a big company. Their server security is likely much better than your measly home pc. *"So please do all your banking and company research in our cloudcomputer… " *- (/s for measure)
Their security is only better if you don’t take into account how attractive they are as a target. lol
Microsoft’s computer
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 like to reimagine Microsoft as a company that has zero value. Oh wait, they realised that by themselves!
Why did you need a shitty AI image for this?
Fuck off Windows Defender
I don’t use Windows and would like to also say AI slop was completely unnecessary here. (and everywhere else)
Your friend has a growth on its abdomen. I’d have a doctor look at it.
3 arm Tux, nice!
Um…if the chair is spinning…why isn’t the coffee surface tilted? 🙃
Because AIs don’t understand physics. Or anatomy, given that Tux has three flippers here. (Nor do the upper swooshes make visual sense.)
Neither do the lower ones. The wheels of an office chair typically don’t move when the seat spins around.
The upper swooshes make it look wobbly
I fucking knew it
I wouldn’t trade general purpose computing for general islop
