That still wraps access to this cloud-services, albeit adding some more functionality. My main question was: is it a cloud service itself or can you use it standalone (as a classic API)?

I have a Quadro card and at least for Windows guests I can easily move the card between running guests (Linux has some problems with yanking though). Still, virtualized GPUs would be nice.

how about increasing wages? I doubt that every one of your employees is getting taxed 53%. So I think the system is just working as expected.

this kind of stuff has been around some time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Press_Program - but in a financializing economy like the US probably every kind of building something physical is awe-inducing.

basically this means that `apt install emacs-nox` now takes 2GBs of downloads, pulls in hundreds of fast-changing, hardly audited extensions and probably is not available in sane distros. No, thanks.

Well, so you are still trading with people believing in the value of these systems (which are <95% of businesses), which is a very specific distinction to cashing out money with which you can pay e.g. your taxes.
