Dev boots a PC from Google Drive cloud storage — a storage-less laptop becomes a truly cloud-native computer (www.tomshardware.com)

Ersei, the developer behind this so-called Cloud Native Computer, says the project was primarily a “silly” pursuit. There is also a problem with booting from Google Drive currently being very slow. However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.

So it's a thin client remote booting extremely slowly over a really high latency connection. Cool, the 1980s called and they want their tech back.

Bro forgot to liberally sprinkle blockchain and AI dust on his project before offering it to investors

It's basically booting and running the OS from inside the AI in the cloud!! The system doesn't "use" blockchain, it's made of blockchain! Every file is an NFT by default which provides a built in system for profit for everything you do on the computer!
