Shit is getting real. In five years a computer will cost $50,000. In 10 years, a computer will cost $100,000 and $10,000 for 10 to 20 year old computers in today. Do not throw away a computer, or phone or anything. You will regret throwing away every bit of ewaste you ever have
>Shit is getting real. In five years a computer will cost $50,000. In 10 years, a computer will cost $100,000 and $10,000 for 10 to 20 year old computers in today.i dont think i have to explain why this is stupid
>>107697942It will get way more expensive than it is today, but not that expensive; we are already on the tail of hyperscaling, it's giving diminishing returns and the AI companies are stuck in a cycle with circular debt/ownership, burning capex and massive layoffs in order to finance the whole scam. It is a house of card that will collapse, but probably not until a year or two.
>>107697961A house of cards that will collapse and take the semiconductor industry and supply chain with it
>>107697942hoarderGODs cannot stop winning
>>107697942Chinks replicated zeiss lenses and ASML lithography machines so we'll be good, but just in case, yes, save your tech
>>107697942Are you telling me that by the time I will retire and have a lot of freew time, the internet will become an exclusive thing?Like comfy middle class thing?That sounds amazing. I cannot wait!
>>107698150no, normiecattle will still use their phones to access it
i learned this lesson even before everything started going to crap. i regret getting rid of my old devices. pretty soon maybe just like old magic cards, old pokemon cards, old consoles etc, old hardware will follow suit. everyone wants to get away from this locked down tranny crapware
>>107697942>In five years a computer will cost $50,000>In 10 years, a computer will cost $100,000That's just inflation though...
>>107698193I scratched my back with a back scratcher just now and it came back a bloody mess as If I just carpet bombed a village in Vietnam
>>107698164Yeah, but on phones you won't be able to do much more than coonsume, most likely ai generated content.How cool it will be to play MMOs only with other, now old, millennials, code as if it really was spellcasting. Creating anything will be gatekept by money, just like in medieval times. No more rubbish yt channels made by colllege kids who lse only skill is writing bad essays.
>>107697942@Grok, is this real?>No, this claim is wildly exaggerated and not real.>Computer and phone prices are rising in late 2025 due to AI-driven memory chip shortages (DRAM/HBM demand) and tariffs, with analysts predicting 4-8% increases for PCs/smartphones in 2026, and some components (like RAM) up 100-300% already.>But jumping to $50k–$100k for a standard computer in 5–10 years? No credible sources support that—historical trends show computers getting cheaper over time (adjusted for performance), and long-term forecasts expect market growth with moderate price stability.>Hoarding e-waste won't make old devices valuable; most end up worthless or recycled for minimal raw materials. Recycle responsibly instead.
>>107698306>Hoarding e-wasteits actually not that bad if its a smaller device. hoarding desktop parts might be a bit hard
If web "developers" would stop copy pasting every fucking framework they have ever heard of into their sites, there's no reason the computer I'm using now can't keep working fine for another 10 years
>>107697942Not really. Yet It's interesting that AI, as it is usual in common usage, contributes nothing whatever to weather prediction, and less than zero to housing or any any other kind of creature comforts.
>>107698306what the fuck does AI know? semiconductor manufacture is one of the most complicated things in the world that involves a supply chain with over a thousand different components sourced in dozens of different countries. it´s an insanely fragile process. and a single point in the supply chain going haywire would fuck everything up. tell grok that
>>107698462>semiconductor manufacture is one of the most complicated things in the worldai will solve this, then semiconductor manufacturing will become cheap, cheap ICs will then be used to make cheaper AI. rinse and repeat.
