You will own nothing and you will be happy. Bezos already laid the ground for this when he mused about everything living in the cloud a while ago. And where things are going with hardware prices, they think they can make it happen sooner rather than later, is my guess.

    There is a certain kind of boomer who ended up retiring to a little hobby farm with a couple chickens and maybe a pig or a few sheep...

    We are all going to end up with hobby server farms, with a localized coy of Wikipedia backed up, and a file and image server, maybe some email...

    They will put a stop to this by jacking up prices of hdds insanely high. You will have no choice. Hdds dont last long, and they are being made with worse quality every year.

    I guess we can figure out how to chain together 40+ 500gb hdds somehow...

    My phone has more power, storage and ram than my 2008 gaming PC had.

    My next phone will be a Linux one and if possible it'll also be my "main PC", maybe it won't work that well but today my main PC is a 6500T and it's enough for me so my hopes are a bit up :-)
