Go see gamers nexus on You tube, where Steven Burke will fill you in on the details. How AI data centers buying up all RAM and NVMe production, are killing gaming at home. Computers at home and businesses. Where we end up with dumb terminals that need to be hooked into AI data farms to work properly.

A dumb terminal = dumb computer

Sony is developing a patent to deal with this by allowing you to download kernels of games, to which data would be downloaded and deleted as you play your game. Supposedly you will only have to store 100MB or so for a 100GB game, instead of having to download the entire 100GB to play the game.

To Western Digital: Cut it out. I’m not playing. And i’m not going back to dumb terminals. I had those in college and early in my career.
