Not sure if it’s a world order where America is an afterthought, after all it’s a big market that doesn’t make sense to completely ignore, especially if Trump’s time comes to an end. But for sure it will be a world order set up in a way where states have the option to treat the USA as an afterthought when necessary.
The title of this article just doesn’t match reality. It really only (maybe) applies to very high end systems that are already pushing the limits of all components. Most people don’t have the money to waste on that and have plenty of room to upgrade their hardware for a looong time.
If you don’t need much (e.g. no gaming, 3D rendering, etc.), especially if you don’t need a dedicated gpu, then you can upgrade for at least a decade before running into issues. To be fair, a laptop should last a decade as well in that case, but at a higher prices and while being less repairable.
The previous comment gives a pretty clear argument for why desktops are more future proof, I think. Being more repairable is a pretty big deal for the longevity of the whole system.
Although I agree with the sickening greed part, I don’t think it makes sense to make educational use free without have another system in place that pays for the writing of educational books. There’s plenty of content that imo should be free for educational use, but educational books only have an income from educational use, it’s their whole target audience. No income, no book :/
Not sure if you shared the right link. Somewhere on that page, there’s a bit of info about the post title, but it’s rather limited, not enough to form an opinion.
Like, for what crimes, who does it affect, does it only apply to people with multiple nationalities or can people become stateless, etc…
Please post better source or you risk causing unfounded fearmongering.
