alt Hacker NewsNah, your parent comment has a valid point.
Nearly entirety of the use cases of computers today don't involve running things on a 'personal computer' in any way.
In fact these days, every one kind of agrees as little as hosting a spreadsheet on your computer is a bad idea. Cloud, where everything is backed up is the way to go.
But again, that's conflating web connected or even web required with mainframe compute and it's just not the same.
PC was never 'no web'. No one actually 'counted every screw in their garage' as the PC killer app. It was always the web.
