With data centers full of RAM, your PC is apparently the problem.

He's not wrong, just completely fucking tonedeaf.

Ok, yea, sure, from a resource allocation perspective, it does make the most sense to centralize power. Having one giant system running at 80% is more efficient than having a thousand small systems running at 20%. This is why we virtualize servers.

The problem is, we want and need our RAM for more things than having conversations with your "brain"-washed hallucinating spy-bots.

    ...sigh...it seems people think that I'm siding with Sham Faultman here. I'm not.

    There are, however, absolutely benefits to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Far better compute/watt and compute/dollar. Like...significantly. It makes a lot of sense for businesses to consolidate into VMs on a handful of large clustered servers, as opposed to running a bazillion pizza boxes each doing one thing.

    There are also drawbacks to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Probably chief anong them being privacy and ownership of data. And that's a big thing.
