Lee DunaCPU shortage is 'getting more serious day by day, no less than the memory chip situation' says unnamed gaming PC company
themurphyThis is goind exactly as planned by big tech.
They dont want you to own your own hardware. They dont want local storage. They want to control EVERYTHING.
When personal computing is expensive enough, they will offer remote access to their server space, where you rent some specs and the screen (your computer access) is projected to you via internet.
Then they’ll earn the subscription money, and they own every single log file and data on “your” computer.
As soon as this is the cheapest option by a margin, they WILL get costumers. No doubt. And it’s awful.
Big tech is making wayyyy to much money selling artificially inflated parts and pieces, Some people may buy into a second generation Web TV but gamers and builders won’t. ( I know - I was there 3000 years ago when net nanny’s were buying Web TV and I was selling Packard Bells with 4MB RAM).
