I foresee a market for "80% computers", where you buy a nearly complete gaming PC and just supply your own power supply.

As a friend theorized, after guns, computers would be the next target. The same way the cathedral demonizes "assault weapons“, it would go after high power computing. They hate anything that puts you on equal footing to them. A computer can be a more effective weapon than a rifle, and a more powerful economic force than a mint, ex. the pipeline hack and crypto.

For now, they'll use climate scares as an excuse, but when that doesn't work, expect the establishment to talk about RAM and read/write speeds in the context of terrorists and criminals.

Not to mention, no matter what they allow you to have, you can bet Silicon Valley, government, and the media class will always have the fastest, largest, and best servers and computers available

You over estimate crypto. All the IMF, OCC, Fed or world bank have to do is tell banks not to accept any crypto besides their own (like the Capital One crypto card) or ones that partner with major credit card companies and allow them control and ALL non approved crypto dies instantly because people selling stuff can't take it. Bitcoins days are numbered and will be worthless soon when the IMF and Fed push for "approved" crypto credit cards, which the Capitol One card is the beginning of.....controlled and approved crypto only within 8 years, guarantee it.

fiat currency

Nevada has created the goldback. Bills with gold in them. It's legal currency.

I don't believe that global warming is a "hoax", but I do think that for many leftists it has become a substitute religion. This is absolute insanity.

Yep, I call intersectionalitism. They even have their saints and hell. George Floyd, Greta, RBG, Obama, et al are all saints, hell is climate change, heaven is CRT applied fully(which means the more they preach CRT, and idpol, the sooner they reach heaven).

This is were I stand as well, I do think there are real concerns about the climate but if you distrust a single thing and you are a heretic.

Back when I still had my reddit account I dared to make a suggestion on a climate scare article that the reason the older generations do not get scared is because they had non stop climate scares since the 60s that did not come true and if we want their support we need to stop with the doomsday articles.

Was of course downvoted to oblivion. They are more interested about showing off their purity and devotion then gathering as much support as possible.

When I was a kid in the 70’s we were all supposed to be dead by now from global cooling, globs dimming, acid rain, and living in underground cities because there’d be no ozone layer left…

Whatever validity global warming has will be wasted on excusing government and corporate fuck-ups. Anything that could have been avoided if the government and/or corporations were proactive on maintaining or improving structural integrity will simply be used as another example of global warming.

If only. They want you to be disarmed of computing and information just like the regime disarmed Americans with the National Firearms Act of 1934.

I'd bet this has more to do with mining than gaming...

Maybe prioritizing where computer chips go, since there's a shortage.

No, it's about PSU wattage and the fact that PG&E and Southern Edison can't pump enough juice through their third world grid to run fifty million air conditioners.

Nah.

It's an actual crisis. The immediate pressure is the proliferation of car chargers, but California has backed themselves into a corner on e-cars.

They will regulate computer parts just like ghost guns.

Enjoy the computer version of the National Firearms Act.
