We’re gonna have problems getting enough software engineers in the future. How is anyone supposed to learn when everything is locked away. It’s already happening in the repair industry and the trades.

This is already happening with smart phones.

When the government comes to take away my unlocked bootloader phone, I will be switching to ham radio instead getting a locked down phone. Fuck the system.
v81@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Sad thing is there is no way to securely communicate via ham radio.
But I’d be fully open to going pirate!
And with regard to unlocked bootloaders, I think it’s the manufactures wanting to lock away choice and options that is the issue more than the government.

No one wants LGA1155 anymore anyway so it’s Gucci, my i7-2600 was far past it’s life span 5 years ago

Speak for yourself, I’ll take anything that executes code and find a use for it

The IPC just isn’t good enough of those chips anymore, making them really inefficient. You’d be better off buying a modern celeron
femboy_bird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
A modern celeron costs like 150 bucks after a motherboard and ram, you can buy an old pc that’s bound for a landfill for like 20 bucks, and they are perfectly usable for something like a nas, a tor node, or a minecraft server
