People laugh but thats how the average person thought. There was a time PCs looked like dead end tech, but the guy on the right had the foresight to understand how connecting PCs would change the world.
Now PC desktop sales are down because phones and laptops are so good.

pc sales being down is a worrying sign since phones and tablets can't replace what a desktop or even a laptop can fully do. digital literacy needs to be prioritized. this mobile app computing is making things kinda worse. fewer options. hundreds of millions of peoples first computing experience is their privacy being violated by default.

PC monitor sales have been steady though. Laptops and tablet PC's are more versatile. You can hook them up with one or more monitor and use it as a laptop, then take it with you whenever you want. Laptops today have as much power as a desktop and offer the same functionality. I have 2 tablet pc's and use dual monitors.

These people aren't visionaries. Everything they were denying was already happening. Mf said home camcorder were on their way out, in 83....the first commercial camcorder came out in 83and the fukking internet was "invented" in 83. They had no idea what was going on.
You was the only one that caught it. The internet was invented in the first video, and Gumble downplayed the very machine it was going to be used for. Then 11 years later, he had no idea what it was, even though computers had exploded around the world by then.
I stick with desktops easy for me to repair or swap out parts and upgrade.
I have a laptop but I'm not technically sound to repair if the motherboard fries etc.

I’d call them more portable not versatile. You can easily upgrade desktops and swap out hardware. You're pretty limited with what you can do in a laptop case

Theyre trying to inject PC spyware now too. If you install Chrome google will try to install monitoring scripts. Browsers want you to log into them.

Even before laptops became popular, nobody was repairing their own computers like that. And most people only use computers for basic shyt.

The irony is the guy beside Gumbel was a computer scientist who...
In 1966, he published a comparatively simple program called ELIZA, named after the ingenue in George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, which could chat to the user.[5] ELIZA was written in the SLIP programming language of Weizenbaum's own creation. The program applied pattern matching rules to statements to figure out its replies. (Programs like this are now called chatbots.) Driven by a script named DOCTOR, it was capable of engaging humans in a conversation which bore a striking resemblance to one with an empathic psychologist. Weizenbaum modeled its conversational style after Carl Rogers, who introduced the use of open-ended questions to encourage patients to communicate more effectively with therapists. He was shocked that his program was taken seriously by many users, who would open their hearts to it.[3] Famously, when he was observing his secretary using the software - who was aware that it was a simulation - she asked Weizenbaum: "would you mind leaving the room please?"[6] Many hailed the program as a forerunner of thinking machines, a misguided interpretation that Weizenbaum's later writing would attempt to correct.[7]
Loud and wrong with confidence.
ungoogled-chromium
A lightweight approach to removing Google web service dependencyHelp is welcome! See the docs/contributing.md document for more information.
Objectives
In descending order of significance (i.e. most important objective first):- ungoogled-chromium is Google Chromium, sans dependency on Google web services.
- ungoogled-chromium retains the default Chromium experience as closely as possible. Unlike other Chromium forks that have their own visions of a web browser, ungoogled-chromium is essentially a drop-in replacement for Chromium.
- ungoogled-chromium features tweaks to enhance privacy, control, and transparency. However, almost all of these features must be manually activated or enabled. For more details, see Feature Overview.
GitHub - ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium: Google Chromium, sans integration with Google

might have to abandon it i they don't patch it with manifest v2 support.
