Building your own desktop pc is going to be illegal in the near future isn’t it?
>>
>>108924505
Yes niggy. No pokaemans for you or emulados.
>>
>>108924505
yes and there's going to be some accidental update which will brick 90% of humanitys hardware
>>
>>108924505
No, it'll just be prohibitively expensive.
Which I don't mind.
Retarded poorfags getting access to computers was a mistake.
>>
>>108924505
Owning personal compute would be outlawed, obviously. If not outright, then by setting up the economy such that prices would be unreasonable.
The moment you can use it to produce something in large amounts and make money, the regulations are incoming and your means to make money are about to be seized. Basically communistm, but instead of a single commie party you have multiple ones: FAGMAN.
>>
>>108924589
Holy shit this.
Imagine a world where jeets could never afford to access the internet.
>>
>>108925035
jeets use $5 smartphones, not PC's, retardo
>>
>>108924505
impying I care about what the government deems to be legal, after all they outted themselves a child molesters and white collar criminals.
>>
>>108924505
no
radio transceivers are more likely to be illegal
>>
>>108924505
>Building your own desktop pc
You're assembling it, not building it.
>is going to be illegal in the near future isn’t it?
No its not going to be otherwise all other types of computers including smartphones would have to be made illegal as well
>>
>>108924589
The goal isn't to get poorfags off computers, it's to keep them dependent on it.
You'll still be interacting with them, if not moreso because they'll have a significantly lower barrier to entry than you will (cloud subscriptions)

>>108924505
Of course not. However, major components will be subscription based and tracked.
>>
>>108924505
Probably not illegal, but very unattainable for the plebeian caste.
It's much easier to price people out and make previous generation hardware nonfunctional by approved software.
They will likely outlaw nonapproved software though.
>>
Probably not, all computers will be soldered and unupgraded, made to break.

It's coming. Every new GPU will have to be registered in a few years.
>>
>>108924505
yes and systemd will be forced on every linux distribution, ssh will be just an AI chatbot that interacts with a remote machine at its own (and the company's) volition and you will only be able to interact with it through a phone with a government approved OS
>>
yup just like how they made firearms illegal and now no one has one. epic doomnigger post op, really sowed the seeds of doubt with this one.
>>
>>108926586
>will have to be registered in a few years.
What for you massive retard? You are already paying a massive premium on DIY GPUs and subsidizing their AI research. They have no need to put a computer chip with embedded GPS inside it. Your little gamer toy will be obsolete when they inevitably start slowing it down with driver updates
>>
I don't throw away good computers because I know the people in charge lie about everything. I'll admit they got the normies good with that shit about W11 not supporting amd equivalents to kaby lake or below. Normalfags didn't deserve computers in the first place because they immediately went out looking for "innovative" methods of rent seeking, all the problems we have now are because ambitious people worship money/mass surveillance.

Only allowed to install apps from the store will happen soon just like on phones. Linux will not be allowed to go online unless in Europe. VPN or similar usage will net you a 6 month prison sentence.
>>
>>108924589
Doesn't matter, they all use handheld devices.
>>
they will make it such a hassle 99% of the population won't even bother trying to build or diy repair anything techy
they won't bother going after the 1% because they don't fear us, we won't do shit other than stay isolated with our increasingly unstable hardware and software
there's probably going to be a black market of parts, GPU heists in datacenters which are then sold to those wealthy enough to afford it
>>
>>108924505
nah it'll just be too expensive
like cars or home ownership
the plan is not to ban anything but simple price the people into owning nothing
>>
>>108924505
Boomers will be an extinct race in about 10-15 years. So even if they get shit passed into law now, it will be undone by the zoomergods right after.

No you don't understand, phone posting can be banned in your site.

What's the point? Second-hand prebuilts are cheaper, laptops are cheaper and more practical.
>>
theyre just going to make some stupid shitbox that connects to the 'new internet' (called something retarded like the metaverse) and the old internet will be abandoned

Zoomers are bigger retards than boomers when it comes to tech.

It's too late when every website runs better on mobile than desktop with 6ghz 64 core cpus and people can get a smartphone for 45$ on ebay. It's over
>>
>>108927990
this is what I'm hoping for (we keep the old internet, retarded normoids get herded onto the new internet)
>>
>>108927990
>>108928423
the old internet has been abandoned for atleast 10 years retard. What you are experiencing right now is the new internet. The "Metaverse" if that ever happens will be an app on your stupid fucking phone
>>
>>108924505
Only ultralow power miniPCs and laptops with ARM SoC will be affordable. Parts are already expensive and a country will implement a taxation based on computational power for consumers.

Hardware will probably come with DRM locks and bypassing it will be a violation of copyrights.

They are already doing it to wheelchairs as medical devices which is absurd. Using age verification and biometrics, it could be argued to be a medical device too.

A new AI pc costs $6000 which has equivalent performance to what a datacenter rack had in 2020.

U can buy a *2020 datacenter rack* for high end desktop costs now. Moores law pricing for pc hardware has not stopped.

That 2020 rack cost $200,000, now the same performance (better actually), costs $6000 and is a desktop pc. Moores law has not ended.

This is actually better than a 2020 datacenter rack. It cost, $6000, is high end. But in 2020, that cost $200,000

So no, moores law has no breaks.

Easy fix. Detect mobile via canvasing + whatever else they can do now nowadays = IP ban. Cellular? Ban.

If gookmoot wasn't such a massive ching Chong faggot he'd block mobile users.

It's cheaper since rich people bulk buy it now
>>
>>108924579
microsoft's tpm requirement does this
>>
>>108927250
the non-systemd space needs more options, for server devuan and alpine are viable, but on desktop where you need a more fully featured or up-to-date system neither is great
>>
>>108931377
you're free to use ceres (unstable) if you want to be closer to bleeding edge and rolling. I personally don't do that because imo it defeats the whole purpose of using a "slow" distro in the first place. also, keep in mind that amprolla occasionally misses brand new systemd garbage from sid which can fuck things up a bit, so pay attention when you updoot ceres. this isn't a problem on stable releases, just ceres.
>>
>>108931340
windows 11 does not require tpm
>>
>>108929281
a 5090 is much better than this at the tasks i need
>>
>>108924505
Just prohibitively expensive. The last thing they want is people running their own AI models because that would make the datacenters pointless
>>
>>108924589
The problem isn't poorfags owning desktop PCs. It's smartphones
>>
it will still be possible, just like owning a horse is expensive and requires land and water and being in a specific area code, you just won't be able to do much with it compared to whatever will be available like vr tech, smart homes, body modifications, etc so its not as much of a concern as you think it should be, grandpa
>>
>>108924589
This. Computers are promethean fire that was never meant for the unwashed masses. Really RAM needs to be 10x more expensive. The poor filth should be grateful they’re allowed a Phone and a Game console. If you’re too poor for a computer, you won’t be computing anything of worth anyways.
