There won't be a crash, what's gassing the price of DRAM and other components is literally just lack of supply constrained because manufacturers want to PREVENT a crash in the price of DRAM, there is already 1 HMB fab coming online. The simple fact is that DRAM and all other components are still worth less than the value AI provides, and much AI value is still locked away.
1 example, with enough compute and memory you could compress down all files on your system 10-100x and generate or decompress the needed ones on the fly. Not just files, identified blocks of memory can be replaced with the code that generated it, a super garbage collection ability.
GPUs where already shooting up in price before AI literally because of Leisure (video games) and mining. These datacenters could mine or become render farms, HPC centers, they don't have to do AI rendering.
Of course Google is already using AI as part of their DeepResearch program, the value of which already dwarfs the value of computer parts.

>mining
Btc needs asics and eth moved to pos years ago. This makes me suspicious of the other things you're saying, but I don't care enough to research.
>>
>>107705378
The problem was never components (that's just the consumer-gamer's problem) its the datacenter expansion that's the "bubble". Increasingly more datacenters are being built, needing more power/networking infra and causing component shortfalls in a build-out cycle that should have been over a year ago. The problem is all that capital is being financed with debt/circular buyouts instead of hard assets (which tech has been hording for the past 10 years). The debt, like in 2008, might cause a domino affect for anything (land, operator, software, hardware etc) data-center related. AI has been, and still is, an unproven productiviy enhancement; it promises to automate almost everything but the hard automation (self driving cars, robotics) has yet to go mainstream and the easy automation (ai blogs, sass, image gen, slop etc) has shown little benefit, its just automating bullshit jobs that shouldn't be there in the first place..
>>
>>107705482
My point is that there is no line where there are "too many" datacenters. They literally turn sunlight or sludge or gas into intelligence or at worst rendering. It can't be "overvalued" because the inputs are all worthless and the outputs is literally capital.
But to fit my argument into something you're economic theory can understand. Even with this massive rollout datacenters are still massively under produced due to supply and labor constraints.

1) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice on bare metal and run your previous OS in a Virtual Machine.
2) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Resources: Please spend at least a minute to check a web search engine with your question.

The bootloader specification isn't even specific to Systemd. It's just something they came up with as a standard config file format for booting systems so instead of messy Grub scripts you can have a nice standard config file that defines everything without having to run a fucking shell to interpret it.
>>
>>107705781
This by the way would have saved Archlinux from their bootloader blunder that broke Grub for some users because they changed the scripts and required a re-install of it. With BLS they are free to change the internal implementation and it doesn't matter.

Capitalism is about permanent exponential growth.
How do you - as a tech company - grow in time when Moore's law is dead, chips don't get faster anymore and to get more compute you simply have to build larger computers - something individual consumer just can't afford?
You change your grift - first was cloud computing, next "big data", later cryptocurrencies and now AI.
It's not just that CEOs are evil scammers - they have to be - that's what they're hired for and what they have to do under the principles of capitalism - they're simply adapting to the changing environment, shifting into areas that can still maintain growth instead of clinging to already stagnated ones.

So I just need to do basic tasks like listen to music, stream video, and browse basic websites. Is installing windows 2000 a bad idea? How fucked will I be for drivers?

The reason I want to do this for one, it's botnet free, and two it was the most streamlined of classic operating systems. I really have a boner for Windows 2000 and I just want to know if it's even moderately viable to use in this day and age.

Put it on a virtual machine on your current PC and see if anything doesn't work. My browser on Windows 7 (Opera) won't update unless I also update Windows, and this has started to result in some websites not loading for me, so you're guaranteed to eat more shit than you expect to.
>>
>>107705709
You'll have to use old hardware to get proper driver support. I've seen people install it on modern motherboards with a lot of hacks and workarounds, but even then they have to use old graphics and sound cards.

That said, it should do what you need. Kmeleon will let you browse some sites, but half the Internet is locked behind cloudflare these days. If you installed the kernel extension you may be able to use an XP browser like Supermium or Newmoon, which would get you much better results. Failing that, you could use browservice and have modern chrome do all the rendering on another computer and then stream the webpage as a series of images to the win2k machine.

Ikatube lets you stream YouTube to vlc or mpv, but is very limited. There's a fork of ytdlp for xp, but not 2k, kernel extension may help here. You may be able to use invidious in kmeleon, but the new capchas might block it.

This was the funniest bait ITT. Like making batteries harder to replace has anything to do with innovation.

The most innovation happens when there's heavy restrictions, when you get rid of any restrictions you just end up with absolutely fucking bloat and slop

Regarding the move semantics I just found out a destructor gets only called, when you move an object into another. The object on the right side will get destroyed, but the one on the left side not.
just the members on the left side will be destroyed it seems.
Then I try to fucking write logic for tracking, when a member of the object gets destroyed and it DOESNT FUCKING FIRE

wasted too much time

There is no reason to use that or vim over VSC. My 10 year old 3GiB laptop can easily run it together with a browser on youtube+tabs.

Spacemacs is chock-full of outdated super slow packages. Check out either Helheim (Helix/Kakoune keys) or Doom Emacs (Vim keys) if Spacemacs is too slow for you.
https://github.com/anuvyklack/helheim-emacs

Also make sure you have Emacs 30. Emacs 29 and 30 had huge performance gains due to native elisp compilation and a better JSON library.
>>
>>107701528
My main programming language is Clojure, which is best supported in Emacs and IntelliJ. Vim and even VSC support is lackluster.

Also, elisp is a better config language than what any other editor has to offer.
>>
>>107701513
the bottleneck in emacs isn't in elisp, but in the overall architecture. emacs, at the core, is single-threaded, its gc is very basic and the display engine is a weird mashup between a terminal and gui.
