There is an old clip from the BBC where they talk about the future of computing.

I find it quite striking how much he got right. I also find the differences between what he said and what came - like how he predicted that we'd book tickets, paper tickets rather than barcodes accessible from a server on a mini pc in our pocket.

The most fascinating thing for me however is that his prediction was that people wouldn't have a computer at home but they would have a terminal to access one remotely.

While he it seems to turn out he was actually right, I bet that most people in the west did get computers just to synthetically priced out of ownership by big corporations to make it easier to spy on people and because it is more profitable for them to rent out computing..

Why would they lower the ram prices once the shortage is over (at the soonest predicted 2030)?

The #US has gone too far on so many levels, but this years #CES is rage inducing.

#Europe needs an #ARM #SoC producer, stat. It needs to fully support #Linux and preferably use #OpenFirmware.

Also, the #EU should open up to importing #Chinese made #GPU in pure defiance of these yankies. #NVIDIA telling us to lease GPUs to game in the cloud is a slap in the face.

Is #YoullOwnNothingAndYoullBeHappy taken to a digital extreme. #Consumers need to own their #compute, goddamn it.

#Crunchyroll now shows ads before the main video on *paid accounts*!!! When this subscription ends, it will be time to sail the seas of freedom 🏴‍☠️

I refuse to pay one more cent to them. Even if they revert their decision to show ads, them just trying is already bad enough.

Obviously this will only apply to folks who aren't mega rich.

Stupid cunts don't deserve anymore... Better have a social credit score too!

Fortunately Richi Goldman-Sachs knows a guy (father in law to be precise) with hot digital surveillance tools.
