The future of computers is streaming

The mouse and keyboard configuration is so 2026... retro-vintage.

Already is, to a server in my basement. Games through Sunshine/Moonlight, Emby, self-hosted crud, etc.

they tried this fad like 10 years ago and consumers didnt bite

so now they will make it so we cannot buy hardware anymore

we kinda succeeded with the smartphone

without internet connection it's just a camera and a calculator

iphones are not smartphones.

That's right. I stream games from my PC upstairs to a crappy laptop while chilling on my comfy couch

That was the past.
The future of computing is local.

A bright future would be local. The future doesn't look bright.

iPads had 3G back in 2010.

You're not thinking far enough. By 2030 we won't need a keyboard anymore, all computing will be done by voice activation. Of course, direct user control over the operating system without an agentic layer is already a massive security risk.
Using a screen will still be needed for visual workflows, but considered old-fashioned. Some still use the screen to "verify output" as an old habit.

Excluding triple ay slop, name one piece of software that doesn't run perfectly fin a ten year old laptop. Go on.
>bb-but muh gamerinos
There are tens of thousands of old games to enjoy. Either play some nice little fun game and move on with your day, or grow up. It is abnormal to waste your life sat in front of a screen holering, crying, and laughing to yourself because "muh DSLXAIGBTQ 89.3 FPS >>>> FSR FrameGen 14.88 XL because..."
No, open your eyes. Realise how rtarded that is. All that you need is already here, but it in your greed, you've sacrificed, time and time again, pieces of your soul in order get ahead on an imaginary scoreboard. I wish I could pity you.

The future of computing is a chip in your brain that streams adverts to you every 5 minutes, unless you buy the premium package for $99 per day.
>>
Unironicly wireless monitor with proper bitrate stream would be comfy.

>>108170155
Any computer strong enough to stream can run emulators.

difference between that and today's computer?

yeah like all interfaces were supposed to be floating touchscreens like in science fiction movies; I wonder why that didn't happen? (read about gorilla arm)
imagine having to talk to your pc all day, your throat would burn out in a week
or maybe you're used to it already by sucking dick on a daily basis

Nah I think I'll just slaughter you, your family and everyone that associates with parasites like you. Seems much more convenient than giving up on the personal part in PCs.
>heh you haven't done anything until now you never will
Were those the last words of that parasite that got wacked in New York? Much more importantly I am willing and able to kill over this the question you have to ask yourself is are you ready to see your children be raped to death in front of your eyes just because your masters told you this is the plan?
>>
>>108174367
its more because computers cant understand natural language and because most of what you need to do on a computer is better done with a mouse and keyboard than speaking
notice how touchscreen now dominate because the pc form factor changed to be more accommodating to it?
when the pc UI and UX changes to be more accommodating to understanding natural language, everyone gonna jump ship

That doesn't work. We did this already. Once enough people are not watching ads, even if they pay to do so, the advertisers follow humans like rats, and weasel their way into where ever their attention going. Member OG Netflix? Now you pay AND they have ads.

Basically, under no circumstances are people allowed to not watch ads
>>

K, so, so far we got: social media
What else? Why do you "need" the internet and the "cloud"?
>>
>>108170482
iphones are more useful than android phones without the internet
>>
>>108174367
>>108174470
YOUR computer doesn't understand natural language, but the computer your thin client connects to will.
The sci-fi touch screen interface was dreamed up to look good on movies. It obviously won't work: it assumes the user is smarter than the computer he is operating. An old-fashioned concept.

what can you do offline with iphone that android cant?
>>
>>108170155
and you WILL be happy

>streaming from a server
yeah you mean the X windows server
everyone itt is gullible baithappy and dumb
>>
>>108175086
I can do a factory reset and recreate my setup entirely without internet because I got all the apks backed up. Then I can grab any media from flash cards over USB. I have maps and dictionaries downloaded for offline navigation/translation. What fraction of that can an iphone do. What fraction of that fraction doesn't require connecting to PC.

You MUST pay starlink
You MUST suffer the most bloated experience possible which wastes your time because it increases user hours
You MUST pay per hour

This is the model
>>
>>108175626
iPhones don't need to be factory reset every month because their shitware OSs are so broken and open to malware.
I know you probably don't even believe me - but rest assured, that's the battered wife syndrome talking.

Anon, I'm afraid most people aren't homosexual, nor is their phone some sort of toy for them to play with.
You may be an autistic shirtlifter with no life, but you are in the vast minority.

>I'm afraid most people aren't homosexual
Just you. Replace hardware reset with buying a new phone. I can do all that with the new phone. You can't. I accept your concession.

>Basically, under no circumstances are people allowed to not watch ads

The most valuable thing on our planet, according to the American economy, is people watching ads. Does it matter what type products are being advertised and what their qualities are? No. Nobody gives a shit about any of that. The entire economy revolves around ads are being watched as often and as intensely as possible.

No, it's reality. A reality you are incapable of understanding, because you're poor and have sour grapes.
It's why people like you need safespaces like 4chan and Reddit that will protect you from the real world.
