    Nah, best he can do is a subscription based virtual machine with as much RAM as you need*

    *premium subscription required for >12gb, metered pricing for >20gb usage

        I just tried this and it’s pure pain on the modern web. Granted it’s a Rpi3 so it’s ram limited, but I have to do a lot more optimization to get it to run stable enough for decent web browsing or streaming a video.

          Yeah, it’s got to be old school text based with at best low quality images. Or use extensions like Text Mode. Modern web is very bloated.

        It already exists. There are businesses whose model is that they rent out vram that you can offload tasks to

        And for a couple of years now tech companies have been talking shout how cool it would be for computers to be just portals with all the processing power being online somewhere (as a subscription model)
