Not a shocker: RAM and storage are already being diverted to servers to feed the AI beast. Why target the consumer market with CPUs when the availability and pricing of other components is going to be in question?

This is going to be great for Apple, lousy for small vendors like System76, and Framework. Not sure about Dell, HP, etc. It will also be awful, of course, for all of us who care about general-purpose computing.

Hold on to your old hardware, etc. I have a feeling it’s going to be needed again.

Perhaps I am some kind of dangerous computer radical these days, thinking that one should be able to buy or make a computer, install one's choice of OSs and software, create a local user account, and get on with one's affairs, privately and without interference.

Quiet enjoyment of one's computer.

* No age or ID verification

* No jumping through hoops to install software, or third parties restricting the software that one can run

* No third party accounts

The idea that one should be forced to verify one's age or identity to use one's own computer absolutely baffles me.
