Original question by @dil@lemmy.zip

I think ar might be a dead dream in its current state, I always thought wed have proper ar glasses by now because I fell for Magic Leaps Marketting, not sure if it’ll come anytime soon.

What I do believe is coming is the resurgence of computers through mobile phones. Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn’t able to use them to their full potential. I wouldn’t be suprised if android pushed out a proper android desktop experience letting android users get the full linux desktop experience when plugged into a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Phone performance is stronger than the average laptops/netbooks from 10 years age and they run linux fine for everyday use. Feels like a missed opportunity if someone doesn’t drop a phone or os that lets you take advantage of modern hardwares capability. They could advertise it to families, mo more buying a pc for school, just get them hardware for their existing device, it can already do everything. Schools could use lapdocks, or tabletdocks, that could force school parental controls on devices while at school and still let them use it for their education while in class.

(obviously not everyone has a phone but that frees up resources for the kids that dont, if the kids that do can use cheaper docks with their exisitnt hardware)

    This isn’t so much what I think will happen but what I hope will happen.

    A lot of CPU’s are moving to on-die RAM so the RAM is closer physically to the CPU, reducing the time it takes to travel between the two, increasing RAM speed.

    The downside to this is you can’t upgrade your RAM and there will be less on-die RAM than traditional RAM.

    Currently, with traditional RAM, computers use a portion of hard drive space for something called “swap” which is space for when RAM runs out of usable address space to offload some data to until it needs that data again.

    I’d like to see the rise of on-die RAM along with traditional RAM where traditional RAM becomes more of a “swap” for the on-die RAM. This allows for upgrade-able RAM to still exist while also leveraging the speed of on-die RAM.
