was posting this to 8cuck but gave up after their captcha code kept crashing and made me solve 15 captchas
-captcha to open folders on your computer
-navigating through one folder and then to its subfolder all within 1 second causes rate limiter to kick in
-if you try to name a folder anything with "nig" as a substring, a yellow exclamation mark appears and tells you the OS prevented you from using a problematic word
-software update when you want to type more than two capital letters in a row
-every user input and even mic sent over telemetry. but bug count is still that of 1990, because software now is super advanced and uncomparable to that of 1990, for instance now we have an animation when you put the mouse over a tab
-when putting a new file into a folder, you need to reboot to see it
-typing less than symbol instead of < crashes the entire OS
-typing "' or" dispatches police to your house
-every IP packet tagged and cryptographically signed with government ID which is tied to public social credit system. the crypto is flawed of course and we can impersonate someone downloading/uploading CP
-10 seconds input latency. it's just 10 seconds that's nothing
-pasting a string into the terminal requires running it through 3 programs to sanitize it, typing a command in the terminal to enable a mode, pasting, then typing a command to disable that mode. then you need to double escape it for 2 different languages

Nice meme but this is more realistic:
>Every computer is a terminal
>Everything is computed on a server and streamed to the terminal
>No local storage only cloud, of course your cloud account is connected to your real identity
>If you type nigger, you upload copuyright protected files to your storage or you violate the "Terms of Service tm" all your storage and data is locked and presented to authorities
>No direct input, all input get streamed to the server and them goes to a vitual assistant that may or may not do what you asked, of course for "Your own good tm" and to be "Inclusive tm" for computer illiterates
>Need to watch ads every time you want to do something with no way of skipping them, since everything is streamed from a server, of course you can also pay monthly subscription divided in multiple tiers:
>Tier 1: you can use calculator and notepad and get a browser but you can only visit a limited number of websites that are partners, you also get some ads sometime and cannot opt-out of telemetry and "Studies tm", price 5$ a month
>Tier 2: you get office with limited functionalities and a browser with websites approved by your government and you get the privilege of not having ads and telemetry! You still need to send some data to "Improve the user experience tm" though, price 15$ a month
>Tier 3: Reserved to enterprise and government
>Devices are still expensive even if they don't have any hardware inside anymore
>Owning a CPU or GPU becomes regulated and only companies and governmenr can have them, campaign of propaganda saying that only terrorist and pedophiles nees to compute things locally, "You don't have anything to hide right?"
>Same with anonymous imageboards and Tor, everything must be connected to your real name

No. Whatever you can think of that's stupid will become a thing in computing. We already have UNIX and botnet.

We already have cuckflare making us solve captchas for literally no reason other than some retarded speculation about making the website more "secure".
We already have 100% recaptcha marketshare which is the shittiest possible implementation of a captcha ever made. It literally blocks your IP and if not doing that, shows a popup box saying "cannot connect to recaptcha! XD", and failing that, clicking on the box does nothing. Oh yeah and it can all be bypassed by using the non-javashit version so none of it mattered.
A _fucking video card driver_ by nvidia has forced telemetry because they're too fucking retarded to test their shit or make an API, and just want to patch everything in real time like a bunch of codemonkeys.

>>Need to watch ads every time you want to do something with no way of skipping them, since everything is streamed from a server, of course you can also pay monthly subscription divided in multiple tiers:
-Need to watch ads on OS startup. Windows 10 is not far from this. "It's because the OS is free goy".
Windows is literally not even an OS, it's a bunch of framework to make sure we can still run software that was made for it. That's its only value. No real software is even made for Windows anymore. You get Fortnite and Skype which both behave worse than webshit from pretty much any perspective (performance, UI, security, engineering in general), and are filled with ads, embedded webshit, and capitalist/consumerist crap (e.g Fortnite is just skins and challenges and code broken to support it).

CS:GO
>Let's bring levels to competitive FPS
CS:GO, Quake Champions, UT remake
>Instead of levels 1 to 100, we'll have 100 brand names
DING DING, CS:GO already has this, and the goy are proud to go around talking about the brand names "silver brigadier general whatever the fuck" instead of simply the numbers, and gladly invest all their time into remembering the item names and level names, whereas previous FPS would only make you remember tactics, strategies, glitches, etc.

>Let's embed web into chat what could ever go wrong
XMPP. Last time I tried embedding an <img> in a chat, everyone in my group crashed or their GUI became corrupt.
>Let's implement chat by embedding an XMPP client into the game. what could ever go wrong
Fortnite, 10 million other games. literally nothing works and they go into broken states every 5 seconds. Gameshits fuck up integration of course which causes vulns. A typical thing they do is use the username for the password so you can login to the XMPP server as any player and start talking as him. LITERALLY ANYTHING you can think of that is stupid is being done in tech.

You get a popup window with a yellow exclamation mark and a captcha when doing certain actions on a bad posting day. The window has some text such as "Attention Required", "Web property", "Cloud property", "Your security", "The security of the property", and so on.
Bad posting times include:
-April 1
-The day a terrorist event happened in 5 eyes or to a lesser extent, a Western country in general
-If you talked about a taboo topic
-If you submitted a string to the internet containing a forbidding substring such as "nig". After version 0.00002 they fix this. However, if talk or write "night", as well as "spice" in the same month, it triggers again. This is never fixed as it's too much of an edge case.
-If you type too fast or submit posts to fast or navigate pages / folders too fast
-If you use a non-standard PC hardware configuration
Actions gated by a yellow exclamation mark include:
-Posting a comment
-Viewing a web page
-Opening certain files on your computer
-Typing certain equations in a calculator
-Translating text
-Viewing certain pages of a PDF

This is actually what I've been going over again and again in my mind the past couple of years. A computer that is just a front for shitware as a service would be very cheap to make and the marketing is practically there already - don't you want to save the environment and stop those African electronic landfills that people you have no control over erected, goy? It also solves the problem of ubiquitous ad blockers and software piracy. But I go one step further:
>Every computer is a display, nominal GPU and an Internet connection module
>There is no software on your "computer"
>All actions you take are routed to the server, where they're processed and you're fed image data via stream
>If you break the ToS of your Internet provider, you're cut off and your ability to do almost anything bureaucratical or social is impacted
>Other providers blacklist you, much like banks work now with credit loans
>The only places with real computer electronics that we're familiar with are available to government institutions and corporations
>If you own something beefier than this retarded screen with an Internet connection, people around you will ask questions
>Local meshnets are back in style, with people assembling machines from scrapped IoT parts/salvaged single board computers
>It all goes back to the early Internet again, where the only ones freely shitposting are sysadmins, tech support and university/research center employees

Yeah, and we're already halfway there, look at all the game streaming services that are emerging lately, Google's Stadia, Sony's Playstation Now, Microsoft's xCloud, it's already there for games, doing it for all software it's not that far. We are at the end of a long chain of events that normalized surveillance and not having control on your machine:
>First the normalization off "App Stores", like Steam, Google Play etc, that got the ownership of software, the control over updates and the control over what version(region blocking, region different apps) of the software you get away from you
>Then the centralization of server hosting over few companies
>Then web-apps over whom you have no control over at all
>Then services like Netflix that normalized(and made popular) subscription services to get content, that takes away the ownership and control of media away from you
>Now the normalization of surveillance and censorship, notice how things like user tracking, censoring content(for example on youtube) became the normality
>And in the future...
This kind of stuff would have seemed crazy 10 years ago, but since this was a slow process(Boiling Frog) it all became normal now, every kind of madness can become normal after enough time.
>If you own something beefier than this retarded screen with an Internet connection, people around you will ask questions
People will already ask questions if you say that you have no social media or no phone.
>It all goes back to the early Internet again
It would be hilarious if the botnet can revert the internet to the pre Eternal September days.

It's not likely that they'll send everything over the line, it'll depend on the task at hand. If you look at how JavaScript is used on the Web, many of the Web companies try to offload as much processing onto the local machine as possible, this transfers the cost of computing to the consumer (electricity), but control still lies with the "provider".

Chromebook-like devices are the end goal, but with a SoC (system on a chip) with locked down boot parameters so you can't install your own software. Large companies will only offer computing appliances to the average consumer/office drones and expensive workstations to corporate/government clients. Hardware will likely not be sold, but instead leased. This will be done under the guise of "security" and "responsible electronic life-cycle". The true intention is to keep technology out of the secondary market (planned obsolescence) and to maintain a captive user base.

Apple products, cellphones, game consoles, IoT devices, tablets, etc. all show signs of this, they're almost there, but not all the way.

A good indicator of who's pushing for this, look no further than the companies fighting "right to repair" legislation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronics_right_to_repair

The Security Innovation Center is one of the main opponents and its membership includes industry organizations that encompass most tech companies. Go look at their membership, it'll be difficult to find a big tech company that isn't supporting it.

It's all about control, and i disagree on the point that it would not be convenient for companies, companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Google already have massive computing infrastructures, in fact they have so much that they rent it, ever heard of cloud computing? Look up what are big cloud computing names. They could already do that and are already starting, see >>3893, now they just have to find a way to monetize it, and once you have full control over the user monetizing becomes way easier, since there is no way of pirating stuff selling content/media/software/subscriptions becomes more effective, and you can't block ads anymore of course(Google cums only thinking about this) and now the most important thing: they have complete control over your data, all your files(won't be able to encrypt anymore of course), all your inputs, everything you type, everything you watch, everything, you have no idea how valuable is all that data once parsed by an AI you could make an incredibly accurate profile on a person and sell it to the government and use it for custom ads. There's a reason to why companies are pushing the cloud so much, the reason it's cause they're smart, they know that they're gonna profit massively from this and they think 10-20 years in the future, use this time to prepare yourself, take everything you care about offline on multiple encrypted copies, keep electronics that you could reuse in the future and learn about low level programming and hardware cause you're gonna need it. We probably have no way to win this but if we prepare maybe we can save future generations by giving them all the knowledge and tools that will become lost in time. It would be really cool if some nanon had experience about low level programming and electronics/hardware and was willing to share, sadly my knowledge is limited.

I know what cloud computing is, it's the push to have all companies move their server infrastructure into centralized, shared server farms and where the hardware layer is abstracted. It's being overly hyped and used as a marketing buzzword. It makes sense to use for certain applications, but it's currently being sold as a cure-all for anything and everything tech related, which it isn't. Yeah, it works well for scalable web services, but it also turns Internet connectivity into a single point of failure if all your business applications depend on it.

There will be cases where certain technologies will only be able to be accessed through cloud APIs, for example QCaaS, where the tech is too expensive for most companies to own or too proprietary to physically sell.

The cloud gaming example you use is probably a case where if the end-user to cloud-provider connection is fast and stable enough, it's more efficient to compute multiplayer+rendering in the cloud server farm and just send the 60FPS back to the user. Doing this will allow the proprietary graphics hardware to stay locked away and out of the hands of the consumer. It'll also make cheating extremely difficult.

Mega corps are to the point now where they don't even buy off-the-shelf hardware, they just make there own custom designs and don't release those designs to the public market. Check out these Google server boards (from 5 years ago):

He's based out of Singapore, but he went to school at MIT IIRC and provides good perspective on differences in hardware between East vs West. If you read that article, he points out that if you know Chinese, you may be able to get access to information that's not available in English because of cultural differences regarding the handling of intellectual property.

Instead of using 10000x the bandwidth we currently use, ISPs should do something more useful like guaranteed jitter bounds to enable real time applications, such as, oh, games. Instead of course we're going to get more OOGA BOOGA MORE BETTER and have an even worse unstable piece of shit so niggers can play their shitty streamed games with 300ms input latency and compression artifacts.

>It's not likely that they'll send everything over the line, it'll depend on the task at hand. If you look at how JavaScript is used on the Web, many of the Web companies try to offload as much processing onto the local machine as possible
Oh yeah, the web is so optimized. It doesn't matter if some retard at the company does some trivial work to make some easy gains, like JS "compression". It's fucking retarded and still inefficient. In any case, companies are already streaming entire games and they will just charge where needed. I'm sure at some point some dickfuck will create "hybrid streaming", which offloads some stuff to the client, and it will suck even more than real streaming.
Streaming is a joke term actually. Every time someone mentions this word, it's a complete fuck up:
Haskell - streaming types, at the cost of impossible to analyze runtime execution of code
Youtube and other video sites - garbage ass code that couldnt and still cant stream a 480p video properly on a reliable 10mbit connection
Fortnite, PUBG, etc - Every time they mention the word "streaming" in their clickbait "technical" blog posts, the game gets a new bug where you go up to some building and it's a blob of unloaded crap and you can't even go inside it

now that i think of it, basically every satire already became reality in the 60-90s. absurd ideas like a company told you to pay to 235267356 but your bank account updated your address book automatically (by a channel to the company) to 235267355 and hold you at fault for not paying the right number. everything has already degenerated to a circus of legal and financial acrobatics, while concrete matters and actual issues are rarely if ever solved
