I think they're taking the wrong approach here. They should be promoting their services as being of constant quality in a business setting, unlike the competition which are just a bunch of people sort-of renting places in their own homes.
Would I stay in a stranger's home? Not even if you paid me.
The fact that they mention "smartphones and laptops" as if they're the only computers in existence is a hint that they don't realize that these two groups pale in comparison to desktop computers and servers in terms of power consumption.
What do you mean "not be complete shit"? You don't think this is good enough for a DIY, non-commercial 3D printer?
Take the same design and try to get quotes to get those parts made by injection molding. Sure they will look a lot better and the price per part will be much lower in terms of raw plastic, but the molds will cost you several thousands of dollars.
...why did the guy use SNES controllers on an NES console?
Because they're both gamepads made by Nintendo, the SNES controllers are compatible with more games/systems because of the total number of buttons and the NES gamepad sucked (a rectangle with sharp edges - almost as bad as the Colecovision and Intellivision controllers).
Seriously why is this thing article even on Slashdot? It's so common these days that you need something taken to the next step as shown in this video to even get mentioned on hackaday.
Are we returning to the good old days of computing, where there was more than two or three main platforms? Remember the days of MS-DOS, Mac, Amiga, Atari ST, TRS-80, C64, etc? The more fragmented the world because, the harder it becomes for viruses and all that crap to migrate and grow.

Good news for Canadians and Mexicans!

The Internet keeps leaking documents, somebody should fix those pipes!
You forgot to mention his bigger-in-the-inside spaceship fuelled by helium-3 piloted by the android who aspires to be human.
I would like to know more.

They work inside cloud computers processors, apparently.
People have been doing that even before the Raspberry Pi existed.
You don't "download more RAM" you idiot. You get more using FTP, which is totally different from downloading which everyone knows is illegal.
If the "workstation" is a 2014 Mac mini, I'd like to see that.

Wait.... wait a second now... you're telling me you can work on spreadsheets on Linux?

I predict it will be more like Idiocracy. In fact it's already begun.
Maybe, but at some point president Not Sure will take over and fix everything. Sort of.
No catgirls?!

I have about 2.3kg of 30-pins memory modules if you want to buy them.
Fuck Intel and AMD, I'm going to add this to my ATmega328P!
What if you have a Google-enabled phone in your hand. You're standing near an open window of a house with a Google-enabled device in it.
And then you yell to your phone "Ok Google erase all my data".
The law has already stretched the word "hacking" beyond its limits, this will only make matters worse.

I don't even know what both of those are. At least BK is international so the least BeauHD could have done is list international competitors.
