Years ago on a Transformers forum the Marvel Transformers comic story where Optimus and Megatron duel it out in virtual reality, Megatron wins and Optimus got blown up.

But then Megatron goes wacko thinking Optimus somehow survived.

Thing is, Optimus DID survive because one of his human allies saved him to an 8” floppy disk without his permission.

In the thread I pointed out than an 8” floppy disk would barely even hold porn ... which inspired another forumite to come up with an avatar of an 8” floppy where the word “porn” is scratched out and “Optimus” is written on it.

With that much computing power, Windows might run at an acceptable speed. Maybe.

Okay, somebody post the Cliff Notes version if they read the article. Now you know I want to comment on the article (without reading it) but the content seems a little dense to just wing this one. Not that I wouldn’t try but I’m patient.

On a 180 degree vision monitor (Mini IMAX). Or the MetaVerse 3D headset.

In short, it will them to store everybody in a computer network that lives today and they can manipulate that information to control you.

You are plugged into the Matrix.

Bttt, windows would still take 5 minutes to boot up since the viri and cryptominers would use 99% of the compute power.

What can be done?

1. Keep track of the national debt...
2. Count & track the 45-to-50 million migrant invader vermin inside the country...
3. Count the links in the chains of the tyranny that our communist masters have imposed on us...
4. Count the communists in political office, in K-12 indoctrination centers, and in the universities and colleges..., and,
5. Help Soros distribute the 100-million already completed votes for 2024 he has in storage...

I remember when 1 gig hard drives were introduced to PC’s and lap tops. ... Everyone wondered, “Who the hell needs 1 gig? What would anyone ever do that much space?”

[Waverunner]

Remember Gates Law, The operating system must utilize the available system resources so that the user looks forward to
the release of the next Microsoft product that will promise to unlock the true power of any hardware improvements.
And never mention real time operating systems

That's one heck of a nice rainbow table you got there.

“With that much computing power ...”

Wasn’t the article about vast amounts of storage, not computing power?

[FreedomPoster]

So you’re a youngster?

*I* remember upgrading the business’s PC from dual floppy to a 10M hard drive. We would *never* run out of space!
