What will happen is they'll start selling zero clients and a subscription to a virtual desktop, using all of the data centers left over after the AI bubble pops.
Unless someone decides to enter the chip fab industry just for consumer hardware, owning your own machine might not be a thing in a few years.
Have you ever tried running win11 on 4gb? It runs about as fast as pouring molasses.
No you don't. I can run moonlight on a potato. All the processing is server side.
Not when the processing happens in one of the many data centers that'll be sold off when the AI bubble bursts.
I fully expect them to start heavily advertising VDI in the near future.
Lenovo had spyware baked into the chips that would reinstall itself if it was removed from the OS. It was a big thing.
Although I believe that was just for Windows. But the functionality exists for them to do it to Linux if they decide to.
Yes. You agree to it in exchange for not paying for the service.
If the terms of that agreement aren't to your liking, don't use the service or obfuscate your data.
This isn't a comment on the morality of the situation, btw. I don't find it moral so whenever possible I don't use services that do this, and when I do it's through a VPN, uBlock, pihole, and email aliases with bogus personal info.
It's more cumbersome, sure, but it's entirely possible.
Yes, because insurance as a human driver would be astronomical in that scenario.
That's an oddly specific amount
Those memory sources aren't going to instantly start pumping out consumer ram again. The chips used for AI are different, and they've moved most of their manufacturing capacity to that.
Hopefully the chip fabs got deposits for their orders, because when the bubble pops they might go under and then consumers are really screwed.
I feel like you're failing to grasp the core concept here.
No, it doesn't. The client receives the video + audio and sends control inputs to the server. The game data doesn't touch the client device.
It's the same concept as RDP and VNC. With fiber being rolled out in more and more places, input lag will become a thing of the past.
