Ersei, the developer behind this so-called Cloud Native Computer, says the project was primarily a “silly” pursuit. There is also a problem with booting from Google Drive currently being very slow. However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.

    More being able to use cloud storage and not need a physical computer. In theory the cloud can be accessed anywhere, even if a portion is down, not the same for a single physical PC.

      Are you going to access The Cloud telepathically?

        The cloud is many computers with a redundancy, you putting multiple PCs in remote locations so you can access when one goes down….?

          The joke is about what exactly you’re doing with the cloud with no physical computer in front of you.

            Why is there a “joke” here?

            Clearly some people don’t understand how a cloud infrastructure which is multiple “computers” is vastly different than a single individual “PC” which has ZERO redundancy….

            You aren’t one of these idiots are you…?

              Because you said “not need a physical computer”. If there is no physical computer, with what device are you accessing the cloud?

                Because the cloud is not one single “computer” to call it a PC would be incorrect, hence my distinction. It’s not even a full computer, it’s usually a bank of particular components.

                Why do you need this explained to you…?

                There is no joke here, just morons like you who don’t comprehend the difference between a personal computer which is a self contained entity, and the cloud, which is a conglomeration of components.

                The joke here is you and your lack of understanding apparently…

                  Traditional computing involves a computer on a desk. If everything is in the cloud, and there is no physical computer, then there is nothing on the desk. How do you access the cloud with a bare desk? That is the joke. Presumably you meant that there is no singular server, and a deliberate misinterpretation like the other commenter’s is a form of humor (Brône, 2008).

                    The fact that another user said you needed a “device” instead of a PC shows how stupid the joke was…. I used different terms to differentiate the two. Yet pedants apparently still need to make idiots of themselves….

                    So which is it…? A PC…? Computer…? Device…? I used two different terms to differentiate between the two to have conversation, fuck off with your stupid “jokes”. Thats what trolls do, are you adding conversation? Or are you derailing it because you have nothing better to do…?

            Okay so you should comprehend how multiple “computers” allow a redundancy over a single one.

            Yeah….?

            You can’t access a remote physical computer without internet either? So what’s your point here?

                I do, clearly you don’t if you need to ask the question.

                So what are you doing here exactly? You’re not adding to the discussion, so that would make you a troll, no?

                  My guy, I’m not the one making non-sense statements and then refusing to answer questions about them. You’re the troll.

                    What is so hard to understand about one needing two full physical computers, while one needs a single full physical computer?

                    refusing to answer

                    I did answer and the statement wasn’t nonsense. What’s hard to understand about the difference between two and one…?

                    One has redundancy and one doesn’t… not shockingly they are different things for this reason……
