Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer (www.tomshardware.com)

Ersei, the developer behind this so-called Cloud Native Computer, says the project was primarily a “silly” pursuit. There is also a problem with booting from Google Drive currently being very slow. However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.

Yes I understand how The Cloud works...?

Okay so you should comprehend how multiple “computers” allow a redundancy over a single one.

Yeah….?

You can’t access a remote physical computer without internet either? So what’s your point here?

I don't have a point. Just asked a question.

I do, clearly you don’t if you need to ask the question.

So what are you doing here exactly? You’re not adding to the discussion, so that would make you a troll, no?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My guy, I'm not the one making non-sense statements and then refusing to answer questions about them. You're the troll.

What is so hard to understand about one needing two full physical computers, while one needs a single full physical computer?

refusing to answer

I did answer and the statement wasn’t nonsense. What’s hard to understand about the difference between two and one…?

One has redundancy and one doesn’t… not shockingly they are different things for this reason…..

You said you could access the cloud with zero computers.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I did? Where? I said you can still access one when a portion is down unlike the other. How does that mean zero?

Did you seriously make a joke while not even reading or understanding my comment? Or did you reply to the wrong person originally? That would make you the troll, no?

Given the context of accessing “remotely” from the comment I responded to, I figured the context of my comment was obvious. But of course trolls find the smallest insignificant thing to latch onto.

I’m sorry you couldn’t tell a comment responding about accessing something remotely, WOULD ALSO be talking about that same thing… I even edited early last night to clarify this simple reading comprehension concern. Since people love ignoring context to derail conversations. Thats you, a troll derailing a conversation since you missed the extremely obvious context….

Yeah jokes tend to not work and are stupid when you actually look into them, usually because you need to ignore something, like the context of the original conversation….

So not only is the joke not even remotely funny, you are just a moron for missing the obvious context….
