Doom running on an HP printer is interesting because it is clever and because being clever was reason enough to do it.

This isn’t clever. It is a string of tech buzzwords washed with green buzzwords. Or to put it another way nobody really cares how their house is built. The PHP of construction materials and methods is just as good for just about everyone because what mostly matters is location.

The advantage of materials is the ability to stockpile. Their higher degree of asynchronisity. It is possible to maintain an inventory of prefabricated components.

An on-site machine has vast temporal dependencies. And the most common word in construction might be “delayed”...at least it can feel that way at times.

And no place is more full of surprises than what is underground.
