    Soon, yes. They will make some law, that will force you to use either big tech’s stuff or not use tech at all for “safety” reasons, or you get sent to Bobby’s wellness camps for forced labor for big tech.

      My personal conspiracy theory is that all the price hikes in PC components like RAM and GPUs are really just an effort to take computing power out of the hands of the people. The future we’re being steered towards is rental PCs and/or thin-client-like PCs with subscriptions to stuff like GeForce Now.
