Programmable graphing calculators were the same - needed to hook them into at computer to root them and get programs on it but once you did you had a fairly capable processor + display for the time.

Gotta clean up the streets! Its the next logical step. After that its feeding all the surplus "material" into the soylent hoppers.

I don't think this is "steak" quality and a long way from it. Think ultra processed stuff like frozen meatballs and chicken nuggets.

Well the entrenched concerns don't want to even give you the opportunity by straight up banning it before you get a chance to try it. If it truly sucked they'd let the market take care of it and billions of venture would evaporate. But all the free market, small government "don't tread on me" types are quick to go after this as fast as possible because certain donors got their feathers ruffled.

Subscribe to Spotify for a month and use its algorithms to find music you like and build playlists off those likes. Download playlists, import them to your local player, boom.

consumers are much different, but there are successful cloud pc services that have pricing oriented to consumers. The entire cloud gaming industry, for instance. Some of them like Shadow encourage and provide for the use of the system as a regular cloud PC. There is a value prop, but it does require a massively great Internet connection, which is where it honestly falls completely apart.
