Intel and the $1.5T chip industry meltdown
Everything can be predicted if you understand energy.<p>Companies can&#x27;t survive in a peak world without manufacturing crap. Sell more because your tools break.<p>So now they are looking at how to do that under the premise of eternal growth:<p>They will try to lock us down in the hardware = deprecate older hardware and force you to move to never software with TLS 1.3.<p>That has never succeded because you can always hack everything = They will try to rent out the accounts.<p>They allready started that process, but I&#x27;m not buying it. I have all the software I need under permanent license.<p>Since processors now have peaked, everyone is buying all the computers they can, the really smart ones are buying low energy devices like Raspberry but 1151 Xeon is also sold out.<p>Anything manufactured today will probably have hardware kill-switches or programmed obsolescence. For companies: &quot;To not lock your customer down for eternity is suicide&quot;...<p>Edit: Loving the downvotes without comment...
