A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.

Bucha Bull to me.

    Yeah, we get it, Bezos. You want us to shove more and more money down your throat.

    Reading the article, the analogy with an own generator and the power grid kind of makes sense at first… until you also make an analogy with broadcast and cable TV for example - you don’t get to choose what’s on, and in the latter case you’re practically paying for ads and some programming in between. So… how about no.

    My fear is that those shortages (artificial or not) might at one point really drive us in a different direction. My only option for now is to vote with my wallet and use my stuff for as long as practically feasible.

      I’m prepared to contribute a whole lot of pennies to the cause.

        Given how greedy he is, you’ll have quite a lot of contributing to do.
