Thanks, Mark. Can we now have normal RAM prices again?

    Nah, best he can do is a subscription based virtual machine with as much RAM as you need*

    *premium subscription required for >12gb, metered pricing for >20gb usage

    I'd rather go back to raspberry pi levels of compute with BBS style text only sites.

    I just tried this and it’s pure pain on the modern web. Granted it’s a Rpi3 so it’s ram limited, but I have to do a lot more optimization to get it to run stable enough for decent web browsing or streaming a video.

    It already exists. There are businesses whose model is that they rent out vram that you can offload tasks to

    And for a couple of years now tech companies have been talking shout how cool it would be for computers to be just portals with all the processing power being online somewhere (as a subscription model)
