Well I would love to trust that, but if you go to the main police station in Stockholm Sweden and use their WiFi they proudly show you how they can read and modify your HTTPS traffic without your device so much flinching with their root cert.

Upvoted simply because this claim is so astonishing. If you can back this up I implore you to provide as much technical information and proof as possible, because the PKI managers for the major browser vendors would certainly revoke certificates for this.

This person has claimed that video games like starcraft won't be playable in the future due to power constraints and that 10 gigabit networking is impossible due to using too much power (no explanation for why it already exists). They have also claimed that 2012 atom CPUs are the pinnacle of CPU design so I wouldn't invest much into thinking you will get a real explanation.

I already told you to have power backup for 24+ hours for what can saturate 10Gb/s you need more than ~8x 15kg lead-acid batteries = Not practical.

25W Atom 14nm CPU is the best middle ground between 80W Xeon and 15W Jetson Nano. It is what you need to load balance saturation of 1Gb/s = Final decentralized node.

StarCraft might be playable, StarCraft 2 however will be a privilege.

Get your facts straight!

Nothing you said here makes any sense at all. People are out there using 10 gigabit networking. There are benchmarks that show how slow the atom cpus are. There no power shortage. Why do you believe these ideas?

You have zero arguments.

I'm talking about the future, not now.

Please link to the Atom benchmarks that show how slow they are on relevant server tasks. I remind you I'm talking about 14nm with 8-16 cores.

To be clear here, you are predicting the future and in that future there is for some reason not enough power to play a game from 12 years ago, even though it can be played on a 65W AMD chip. You realize that refrigerators, space heaters and air conditioners take about 10x-30x the amount of power you are saying won't be available in the future right?

The burden of proof is on the people who make the (ridiculous) claims.
