Amazon's Jeff Bezos once revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options. Will DRAM prices make it come true?

      Me too, but prepare to spend your life being called an out of touch boomer by all the kiddos who have never known what it means to actually own something.

        “you actually OWN stuff? lol fucking boomer” as I return to my pod to be sealed in for the night and fed liquid slurry through an IV mainline. Cost of food and housing: $150 a night. I only make $60 after taxes a day. The VR glasses slide over my head and I an greeted with my total debt: Feburary 5th, 2036: Total Current Bezobucks Debt: $12,345 Principal and $22,330 Interest.

      ask a capitalist and a communist to criticize each other and they’ll both criticize capitalism

        Then a centrist walks in and tells you how they’re obviously both bad, you need to combine both and you’ll get the perfect system.

          and by ‘combine both’ they mean capitalism such as it already is but with more pell grants to go around

            Well, actually giving out more Pell grants is optional. Really the important thing is paying think-tanks run by their friends kids to do feasibility studies on increasing Pell grants. Studies that conclude they can’t afford to give out more grants since they spent all the money on feasibility studies.

            No worries though! They know someone who runs a thinktank that specializes in doing feasibility studies on overuse of feasibility studies.

    Surely this is all part of a push to consolidate all tech in the hands of just a few big companies that can control what we can and can’t do or read and see?

    I might be a sucker for liking apple, but I rather deal with them than not having a computer at all.
