The people staying on streaming platforms are going to have a hard time justifying the price hikes in the coming years. The next few years are going to be a drought of new content. Part of me feels these hikes are likely due to both greed and the writers protest.

I feel we are now on abusing users part of "How platforms die".

Maybe this has something with the norm being +1000$ flagship-phones? Maybe it has something to do with state of the world and the recent price hikes? Maybe it is the lack of new features or wow factor?

I feel like most techs keep our phone a bit longer. Me personally, I tend to upgrade every 3 generations.

This is nothing new in the console space. They have always had a brand standards for accessories since Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis. This is just the evolution of consoles always being online.

I can honestly say, at least with Microsoft they will ask nicely. Nintendo on the other hand will brick your devices out right.

I have a feeling some security researcher is going to come out of the woodwork with a A.I security flaw in Nvidia Drivers or Hardware.

This can be applied with social media.

This past year I deleted my Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. I can honestly say, it has improved my overall mental health, and I now find myself learning more computer things with my time.
