Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS - UmU

And when your Internet goes down, you can’t even work locally.

Genius!

I’m sure CoPilot in the cloud already took that into account though and goes off on all sorts of tangents with the user disconnected.

What could possibly go wrong?

yes but how often does your internet go down? I agree with the sentiment and I hate this but we should think about this from an average user perspective when we make our argument. Internet doesnt go down, I’ve had more electricity outages than internet outages in the past 5 years. if you live in a city its a rare thing.

The reason why people shouldnt want this in my opinion is not because its day to day worse but because its worse long term. These companies will offer it at a low price to entice you then yank the rug out from under you. You will never be safe with an option like this because at any time it can be taken from you and one day there might not be an alternative market of computers to purchase.

Congratulations. My home internet was down the whole day yesterday. My power goes out at least once or twice per month due to the current nature of the power line structure. I live in Europe.

Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

I live in (Eastern) Europe.
