which is why there is no hoarding of all the computers and RAM for data centers that don’t even exist. what we are witnessing is a mafia-type collusion to remove from commercial circulation all the computational power people need to continue about their daily digital lives without paying rents to IP-thieving techbro clouds.

THERE IS NO RAM SHORTAGE.

THERE IS A BIG TECH COLLUSION TO CREATE A PC TECH SHORTAGE

memory is just the beginning. techbros are out to kill the PC market

@blogdiva

Will they manage to kill the PC market? Or will they manage to give birth to tens of thousands of small, local computer recycling, refurbishing, and building companies/centers?

All of it is going to collapse in on itself. It's just Theranos except instead of a couple billions of dollars it's a couple trillions of dollars.

@johnzajac @blogdiva that, and diversification of production. Things like RISC-V aren't just for nerds, it's the key to a resilient supply chain.

The computer market's getting fundamentally upended and old hardware won't be automatically obsolete anymore

@johnzajac @blogdiva now is the time for right to repair anything with a chip in it

@fluffykittycat @johnzajac @blogdiva

fuck yeah, I didn't expect analog nowhere to be the dystopia we were headed towards
