@johntimaeus@infosec.exchange @blogdiva@mastodon.social So what you're saying is that most of the world will be plunged into non-smart appliances, and people won't discard computers and phones like they're toilet paper, like some kind of frickin' paradise?

    @johnzajac@dice.camp maybe it will kill disposable vapes too, truly a return to the dark ages

  • @johnzajac@dice.camp @blogdiva@mastodon.social I'm seeing a 5ish year long realignment toward consumer electronics -- after the bubble bursts and the initial economic havoc clears. The primary suppliers will have detooled all the 'user grade' supply chains by the end of 2026. Getting back to making affordable RAM, performant cpu, and storage that you can buy and practically use as an end user is going to be hard. If the bubble bursts today, I don't need 10-20 rack units of gpu and power sucking high performance storage. I need a phone with an unbroken screen, and a laptop with double the cores, memory, and ssd of the one I bought four years ago. Datacenter gear at discount prices doesn't fit in my backpack.

  • @johnzajac@dice.camp @blogdiva@mastodon.social Quite the opposite. Personally owned compute will become the exclusive territory of the rich.
