Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too.

Correction: not all server hardware can be used as a PC
For example server gpus without outputs mainly used for running calculations
If i remember correctly there is a way to make compute gpu process the image and then forward it to the onboard video to be shown.
So if we want to get pedantic. Only asics are really bound to one task, the rest is adaptable if you are willing to sacrifice enough time and mental sanity.

Isn’t that how laptops do it if I remember correctly
…maybe some of them?
I have no idea why a laptop with dedicated graphics would do that because it would add latency and simply not be necessary.

Even these boxes will allow a serial connection. You can just open a tty and you can treat it just like a PC… if you’re comfortable on the command line.
