It's certainly come a long way!

Do you think playing Dark Souls 3 on medium graphics at 1366x768 is what gamers are seeking though? The Skull NUC is what? A $600+ machine?

I'm not bashing the NUC, just you can't get amazing graphics performance out of the form factor (at this point in time) so it seems an odd choice to market to gamers.

I love they are pushing the envelope, but it just doesn't seem to fit into anything extremely useful.

I could see this being awesome if we could pull the NUC and place it into a laptop. Or place it into the TV. Or a monitor.

Pricing mainly.

You don't control the data. Data uploaded to Sia is encrypted before it's sent.

If Google, for instance, shuts down (take your pick of possibilities), your data goes out with it.

Sia, and your data, is held on independent providers.

Not available at the moment, but Sia an be storage back end. So imgur, as an example, could store the pictutes on Sia, reducing their servers to just providing front end.

There are probably more and better reasons. These I could just think of off the top of my head.
