The proponents > of complexity as a weapon will be so disappointed... I do understand ....... However more and more of our 'future' seems to - or we have been SOLD the idea that it seems to - rely on ever more complex 'systems', electronic and otherwise. This is why trillions are being poured into AI "data centers". Can't get there from here without Claude and Mr. Chat - and don't forget the gigantic authoritarian/Orwellian micro-managing neo-commie bureaucracy ! Does like Namibia offer 'golden visas' ? I'm getting too old to move now, but it's still a very tempting idea ... WAY 'off grid'. Computers - frankly the Core2-Quad is probably good enough for almost anything especially real. I do have a bunch of computers - but it's cheap laptops and mini-boxes based on cheap chips. More than good enough for anything I need. (shit, can't even get the mini-boxes for any sane price now - 'AI' has sucked up the entire global memory chip output. No, NOT the trade wars, it's the damned MEMORY CHIPS. Every device from yer Mr. Coffee on up need CPUs and *MEMORY CHIPS*)
