A warning about rising prices, vanishing consumer choice, and a future where
owning a computer may matter more than ever as hardware, power, and control
drift toward data centers and away from people.

Nice reading, I really enjoyed its style. Really a good summary of what happened to the IT-related price increase of the last months. Thank you for this.

Can’t deny, it looks puny!
Software bloat will hurt more and will require re-thinking. Efficiency will matter again.
This is the next battlefront. I already see it happening. Software requiring significantly more resources with each iteration to do the same job.
They’re going to try and push us off older devices, and hope we use their devices instead.
The AI bubble can’t burst soon enough.
I do too.
I heard a theory that the AI bubble might not burst as we think it will. It will slowly deflate.
Companies can re-negotiate contracts and if they do, we may see a slow deflation rather than a huge all in one burst. The push will very slowly move away from datacenters and go back to consumers…but the factories were all set up for very specific chips because of prior years AI push. Very expensive blip in 10 years but prices do not go back down…they just stay the same for longer.
But IDK I am not an economist.
