    Most of the hardware manufacturing capacity is currently entirely focused on datacenter and AI stuff, be it GPUs or hard drives or RAM, because it currently seems to be a field with unlimited funding, but almost everyone can see it isn’t sustainable and won’t last for long.

    If you were a baker and suddenly making expensive cookies made you boatloads more money that baking bread, you wouldn’t spend time making a single loaf of bread until you could satisfy every cookie order first, no matter how many people were desperately in need of it.

      B2B had almost always been more profitable than selling to consumers. It’s so much easier to sell to 50 people than 50 million people.

      Honestly I’m surprised it took this long for them to essentially give the middle finger to consumers. They kept hinting it, lifting a finger, but never fully extending it.
