Not just that. You're fairly stiff...Robin Williams and I have something in common..
You have no idea..Not just that. You're fairly stiff...

Flacs are from audio stores. Anime imported through a local distributer. Light Novels also. But I wouldn't expect you to know whats a Light Novel.Oh really? Mind telling how you collected thousands of FLAC files and several TB of Anime?
I bought all the components used and assembled it. My PC hasn't left the room since.The government most likely planted a GSM module in your PC and they're spying you all the time.
My government is a deadbeat.It's already obvious the government tracks us.
FLACs are ripped from CDs? Do you still have all those CDs?Flacs are from audio stores. Anime imported through a local distributer. Light Novels also. But I wouldn't expect you to know whats a Light Novel.

Isn't that exactly what I've said?
Being able to do what you want means having full rights, not having physical control.
I think here we are in agreement. But you also know just as well as I do, that the definition of ownership within a cloud service and that of a golden necklace or a horse is completely different. This touches on that physical control of the goods again. Cloud lacks that entirely and is simply incapable of offering it.No. We created the laws for copyright etc, because the goods changed. 1000 years ago your most prized possession was a golden necklace, a horse, a building. Today, for most companies and many individuals, it's the intellectual property.
You know that something being open-source doesn't mean it's free, right?
Cloud gaming can do high-end heavy computation gaming, but those games simply don't exist, because there is no market for it. For several reasons:I think you're making a mistake here (much like @Sebastian-san). You think about cloud gaming as something perfect for low-quality, cheap gaming - perfect for phones etc. And it is that. But it also provides a way for high-end, heavy-computation gaming without owning expensive hardware. And potentially, it gets you even further - beyond what a PC can do.
But the real question is: does he game without internet? Do you?
Of course PC gaming is still strongly single-player, but most best-selling games on phones and consoles have a very pronounced cooperation component (guilds, achievements, duels, comparisons etc).
You think your data is more secure kept at home than on a server.
For exactly the same reason people have thought cars are safer than planes - even after decades of superior casualty statistics.
Today people are afraid of autonomous cars even though - even at this early stage - safety statistics are in favor of AI.
People tend to prefer the solution they are used to or they think they understand. This will never change.
Owning does NOT mean can do what you want and when you want. Software is the perfect example of that.
And sadly, that policy is now spreading into the hardware arena where software is embedded in the hardware. Cell phones, tablets and PoS computers are good examples. But other industries are affected too. Note the recent lawsuits in my state where currently farmers cannot even repair their own tractors.

I've found something interesting for people that would like to try game streaming. No affiliation etc - I haven't heard about them until 10 minutes ago.
www.parsecgaming.com
If I understand correctly, their product simply takes care of streaming, so you can use it at home (to stream from PC to phone, for example). But they also offer an automated AWS setup for cloud gaming. You have to bring the games, obviously.
Important part: they have a Linux client. We've had some Linux gaming discussions lately.
You've used it locally (PC->something) or the AWS approach as well?Yep I know it and it works quite well, if latency is no object.

Nor does it mean they are hacking you! Why should they? You (and me) are but one tiny krill among billions in all the world's seas and oceans. Our governments have much bigger fish to track down and kill. If the cyberpolice and their informants cruise by and take a peek at what we are doing, find nothing and move on, I'm okay with that. The Internet is NOT my (or your) private domain.Im also not doing anything illegal. But that does not mean governments are not doing anything illegal with their hackers.
How can you tell?But we're off topic again..

I wish they had a client for Tizen...
I'm currently using Steam Link for streaming from PC to TV (different rooms), but the quality is far from amazing.
The target solution would be to stream at 4K via a Windows/Linux miniPC - like a Zotac PI225 (4K@30fps).
I dont know how to rip. Where do you think all my CDs and BDs are? They are here in my room. You seem to fail to realize that Im not american and I dont live in america. As for spyes, you advocate government spying on people?FLACs are ripped from CDs? Do you still have all those CDs?
Same for anime. Do you have all the original copies (disk etc)?
Gov's spying hardware is in the parts you've bought, not a separate module.
We had many backdoors found in CPUs, disks, NASes and so on. Now there's the story about the Chinese spying Supermicro clients.
You need more proof? Really?
Do you know how small a WiFi/BT module is? And basic radio chips are even smaller, so they can be easily hidden under a heatsink or a connector. Are you sure you know what every chip on your mobo does?
How much governments are spending on spying programs? How much did US spend on PRISM? I'd presume we're talking about billions of USD.
Compared to that, planting a $3 radio module in each PC and phone seems like a bargain.
I sure hope they are not. They have no right to take a peek at what anyone is doing without a warrant. I was not referring to my government. I was referring to american government spying on the entire world through entities like Facebook and Google imo. Its not nice. And Im just not your local patriot, sorry.Nor does it mean they are hacking you! Why should they? You (and me) are but one tiny krill among billions in all the world's seas and oceans.

The Internet is NOT my (or your) private domain.
If you want to stop "your" government sponsored hackers you claim are spying on you from spying on you, stay off the Internet! You cannot go out in public and expect your actions to remain private. And for sure, take your cell phone and smash it to pieces then throw it into an incinerator. Your cell phone and carrier are much greater threats to your privacy than your computer or the xCloud.
Frankly, what scares me WAY MORE than my government spying on me is the incompetence and complacency of the executive management at companies like Facebook, Equifax, Linkedin, JPMorgan, and other institutions who failed to keep our data safe by failing to apply available patches to known vulnerabilities in a timely basis. Companies and their leaders who failed to hire qualified IT and IT security professionals and/or who failed to give those people the resources and authority to carry out their responsibilities. Companies and leaders who failed to report breaches in a timely basis just because they were afraid it would tarnish their company's image and affect their bottom lines and/or jobs. That's what I am more afraid of than my government. Now if I lived in China, N. Korea, Russia, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Belarus, and several others, I would probably feel different.

You would feel a lot better if you lived in Russia, trust me. Your government controlled media has brainwashed you with anti-russian propaganda. Russia is amazing and I love and respect Putin. I even have photos of Russian nature on my wall prints.
I would rather die than travel to america as a tourist. I start throwing up just at the though of it.
So bye. I would like to stick around and chat as intended, but the patriotism here is making me vomit. Farewell.

Wowsers! While I am patriotic, my comments in no way were meant to be. I was merely commenting on the known facts. Those countries not only spy on their own peoples, but they control the information they see by limiting their access to the information.You would feel a lot better if you lived in Russia, trust me. Your government controlled media has brainwashed you with anti-russian propaganda. Russia is amazing and I love and respect Putin. I even have photos of Russian nature on my wall prints.
