Comment on Asus and Dell announce new mini PCs for Windows 365 | Goodbye local OS
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 days agoIt must me noted that Big Tech is currently engaged in artificially forcing hardware prices upward, along with Microsoft’s constant attempts to deprecate old hardware by forcing new versions of their OS out of compatibility with it.
There are so many ways they’re actively screwing their customers by making things tangibly worse, and then conveniently showing up to “help” by selling us more of their shit.
Plus laws going after alternative OSes, no doubt lobbied for by MS to eliminate competition for Windows, are starting to creep in now, see Cali and Colorado.
Next step will be mandating SecureBoot and limiting OS selection to a short list of approved options.
And the end game will be thin clients connected to the cloud.

I would be surprised if this WASN’T a conspiracy among all the billionaires in their secret clubs.
