Again, you are contradicting yourself and haven't been able to cite all of these "amazing wins." You're claiming that you're going to struggle with scrubbing over TB 4... and pushing remote editing instead! That's laughable. Also I don't think you understand compression. Interframe-compressed codecs like H.265 are a bigger computational pain in the ass than ProRes (for example). And "remote desktops have been amazing for decades..." What? Irrelevant. In the '90s people were still buying heavily optimized turnkey systems with SCSI arrays just to be able to capture and edit SD video at broadcast quality; and you couldn't even stream VHS (6-hour mode) quality over the Internet. Come on, man. Why shill so hard for your pet workflow, and berate other people who don't want or need it? I can scrub my 4K video just fine over Thunderbolt 2. Maybe you need to defrag, bro!

I really struggle to understand where you are coming from, don't see what reef you've so clearly beached yourself on. To resolutely not get it. > scrubbing over TB 4... and pushing remote editing instead! That's laughable. You seem incapable of grasping the basic premise of what desktop streaming is. A modern video card will give you a pretty good quality 10-bit 4:2:2 (or 4:4:4 or 4:2:0) hardware accelerated h.265 hevc & AV1 capable encoder, that is just sitting there for use & which will consume no other resources; for all intensive purposes free. You connect to your render workstations desktop & scrub there. On its many GBps SSD array. Even better, instead of buying everyone on the team their own high end desktop or beastly laptop and their own SSD array, anyone can connect to a virtual desktop as they need. There's actually 3x different hardware encoders even on regular consumer GPUs! A 64 core AMD 7R13 Milan is $1000 and will let you load up absurd numbers of GPUs and SSD, that'll host a whole team very effectively. Really confused why the internet is scaring youso, how you've missed the premise of this article entirely. Maybe you should try booting Sunshine and Moonlight some day, as an easy to DIY low latency low bandwidth VDI.
