You can play high res FPS games on remote GPUs now, so I expect that part could be managed, if not now then in the very near future.

Presumably those remote gpus are not halfway around the world. Speed of light sets an inherent floor on the latency.

The issue is not the idea of remote control per se, though connection drops etc. would be a risk, but the notion yoga can outsource it to somewhere with far cheaper labour.

Ah, yes, that's a good point.
