This a HUGE WARNING its not just a temporary price hike, billionaires have bought materials needed to make ram, to cut supply of chips, and hard drives, TO CORNER THE MARKET and destroy personal computing not owned by them.

They control phones, you control PCs.

There are a quarter BILLION laptops that are prevented from using windows, no upgrades, no security, no fixes.

Get a laptop, several laptops, install linux
