Comment What's a desktop? (Score 1) 453

The desktop was never even alive. It's called a computer. It runs windows. That's all people know. whether it's a laptop, a tower an all in one or in the future you phone that you plug a screen/keyboard/mouse combo in.

People don't care. shut up about the death of the desktop already.

As a developer, the only thing you should care about is on what OS it runs and what the input devices are, not if it's powered by a tablet or a phone or a tower or a laptop or a server or a "cloud".

Why are old people so desperate to have a big box next to their desk while hardware is shrinking to pocket sizes? Or do you really believe a mouse and keyboard are going to disappear along with that hideous box of yours?
i mean, have you ever tried playing a decent game on a touchscreen? oh no wait, you are an old fart too busy complaining about desktop sales decline.

As a EU citizen, I can only agree. We're increasingly seeing the US (government) as the actual terrorists, which is the only truth as far as i'm concered. I'm happy these economic and data sharing relations are crumbling down. Maybe it will knock some sense into the US government.

It's a pity for the social and human aspect though, I've been twice and love the country and people.

This is exactly why I just tried to connect once, and then went back to offline... I knew it wouldn't work the first week.

But I don't understand why they don't rent scalable cloud services, from amazon or whatever? Are they actually buying all the servers themselves?
Or would even amazon or MS azure datacenters not be sufficient?
