As a supporting point, right now people have decent GPUs but as people get a taste of the streaming approach on a laptop for example, and with the GPU prices increasing, they might…

And if you tell 2 experts to build something with W3Schools as the resource against better documentation, I'm sure the results will be the opposite. That's not the point though, I'…

It's almost as if a site for tech has bias for tech commonly enjoyed by the readers of the said site. I'm shocked, truly.

I agree with all your points and also agree that honestly, these scenarios aren't far off from real world tasks. I get the main issue, which is you could adjust the workload by 10%…

It had multiple angles it could succeed on really. It had two major issues. The first one was if you went beyond using it yourself or a very limited collab, it would desync, which …
