That something, to my mind, is “brand privacy invasive tracking as bringing you free/cheap shit.”
It worked for the last decade. They’re doubling down, unaware the dotcom 2.0 bubble is not bursting but being left behind.
Apple shipping a SOC that can do it all will trickle into Dells thinking, driven by backlash against privacy invasive grifting we can do cloud work at home.
Concerns over screen time will lead to decoupling from screens. More IOT and voice controls and other input alternatives like smart sensors.
Facebook is not a laptop, or an operating system. It’s AIM. We moved on from AIM but kept computing. The tech industry hasn’t matured. It grifted on last generations addiction to TV.
