    no. i’ll cobble together whatever i can find and i have a lot of parts in backup.

    can’t wait for the Dangerous Personal Computing Act of 2028 that finally requires us all to turn over all personal compute to our local Bezos-Palantir-ICE militia forces

      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.

        Meh, for me that is already the case because I refuse to use most ARM-based devices due to how locked down they are to the point where the user is basically just renting them.

        What disturbs me however are people who seem convinced that Mobile/Cloud-based devices are “the future” or “next step” and act as if PCs were just a “Phase”.
        It saddens me that there are many people out there who don’t realize the power and potential of Personal Computing.

        “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.
