It seems that we are about to see the PC hardware market collapse due to suffocation.
But perhaps this will be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps it will pull us out of this spiral where manufacturers constantly renew everything every year, if not more often, and usher in an era where we are all forced to make our machines last, and not just those who feel even slightly concerned about it.
Perhaps it will finally put global software development back on the path to optimisation, instead of ever-increasing resource consumption.

@transcendentempress if only. But I fear we'll only have the bad consequences and no the enlightenment.

@transcendentempress I completely agree, and hope the video game industry will listen to you. Right now, it's all about the gadget race.
