A comment on Oxide: The Cloud Computer. Parent comment
How many times has computing hardware changed in response to the economics of the parts and the economics of the businesses buying hardware?
There are downsides to new models, but money solves a lot of problems
So I don’t know about Oxide in particular, but it seems short sighted to bet on stagnation
Also Oxide is doing what Google did 20 years ago, and Facebook open sourced ~10 years ago, so it’s not exactly unproven
