It would seem what apps needed the most back then was more RAM and compute and it's still true today, we've just offload ed most of the compute and RAM requirements to GPUs now NVLink/NVswitch/Infiband is what Starlink was back then for $5000 DGX sparks and similar systems only
I'd buy it, but for me, Google lost it's credibility when they made Chromebook on an a Linux kernel but kept the specs too low, and even made sure to hijack the market by providing for free to schools
already planning on the battery section, cameras and other sensors (including wifi and bluetooth) would always be upgradeable unlike current phones without tools by using fix and switch method all except front camera (included privacy shield) and speakers
every thing happening right now in privacy space including OS level ID verification, then websites requiring ID and now this is strangely alarming
right to privacy and speech will soon be very limited in aspects only relating and possible offline and very soon there will be nothing one can do about that
except in RAM based OS the page size and computation resources reduce significantly as OS is using the same memory to run instead of reading from disk and eating up critical memory area for applications, only thing in between a full crash and OS is the swap storage, macOS and Windows would never be even able to achieve this it is possible only due to Linux/BSD and it's level of optimization.
a better way would be to boot via nvme SSD, ethernet boot has a dependency of network, what if you need to debug when network is down or debug the errors/bugs network itself ?
we're running a complete production grade cloud storage service with Raspberry Pi Zeros at https://getcloud.doshare.me that's how powerful Rpi hardware we've tested it for upto 10k concurrent requests with storage ofcourse, but still too far powerful
you're right, I was unable to implement DRM, but it is technically possible though to prevent even screenshots, Netflix and similar services do it, to do that images have to be videos and use EME API but the protected content apis are not uniform across browsers, this setup is designed to prevent code injections, DOM events, keypress, window resizing etc. Tested this on codex, claude, perplexity via url.
the idea is to demonstrate prevention from random SOTA AI bot based sniffing especially when scrapping is included, and PIIs are at risk, or simply to protect your privacy in a simpler manner instead of using a service like Cloudflare which uses sophesticated tech via ip ranking, cookies etc and may track excessively.
The rate of change in overall scenario has risen atleast 10% since 1680 never in the the history did we move so fast as a race when engines and watches were invented and early industrial revolution started. Before that we as a species lived relatively sedimentary lives in the world.
Each industry created a new way to do same things, things moved faster and more faster. And now we are at the inertial momentum that is accelerating so fast in overall turn of events in the world that all this happening was faster than world war 1's duration
It's just one half of the problem,
when looking over the impact of progression from industrial era, you might be able to see the cracks today, and we still won't do anything, humans proceed now to build AI datacenters and keep finding new ways to increase energy consumption, this creates a chart where each "advancements" is a nail in the coffin for tomorrow.
with reference to original text written in the blog
some random thoughts on it and facts about it being literally infinitesimally low chance that this would ever occur irrespective of the fact that somehow it did
Been there done that, none of it works, till this date my YouTube account is suspended and they can't do a thing about it.
Google Drive & Workspace are their most poorly designed products with the shittiest support ecosystem. Google would rather bleed money than work on it.
That's one of reason I started DoShare Personal Cloud[₁]
