That’s fucking nuts because any device that can connect to a cloud is powerful enough to run an operating system (they will probably not give user access to the non-volatile memory). Just not the bloated AI spyware box that they want.
I work in embedded, and you would be surprised how much work a CPU under 100mhz can do when there isn’t an operating system/browser in the way. We need to get back to basics in the software industry. We’ve been going down the wrong road for a looooong time, and the AI bubble is only accelerating us in that wrong direction.

Latest cool thing I saw : Doom on my earbuds https://doombuds.com/ which IMHO demonstrate greatly how much more powerful so many tiny things around us really are.
