India’s richest man now wants to turn aging computers into AI-ready PCs

Reliance Jio opens JioPC cloud PC service to all internet users in India, not just its broadband subscribers. Old computers (up to 8 years) can get 8 vCPUs, 16GB RAM, 1TB storage from the cloud to run AI apps without hardware upgrades. Plans start at ~$11 for 2 months, $42–$53 for 12 months. India had 65M+ PCs in 2025, ~34M of which are aging. The post doesn't spell out latency or bandwidth requirements, so temper expectations.
