if everyone had symmetric gigabit, this would be a no-brainer. imagine having auto-scaling CPUs, auto-scaling RAM, etc - it would incentivise some cool OS architecture (yes yes, privacy issues aside etc.)

most of the time i'm doomscrolling, but every now and then you wanna play with linux, or llvm, or some VM cluster.

i bought a beefy rig for these 1% events in my life, and the rest of the time its doing basically nothing. seems a real waste.
