Dw guys, you can all just sit at home and watch as your world is scrapped for parts. Just... Keep protecting, I'm sure your gov will start listening to you any second now. Ah it's just memory cards, why get into a stink about the ramifications of that...
You are talking about going against a cartel of oligopolies that have locked down the technology sector with the IP they control and who have cutthroat control over where the latest technology is deployed. What we at home can do is playact "It's back to the 90s!" and go back to the technology we had several decades ago, which is more viable than it sounds.
If they want to act like cartels with the greatest and latest, nothing is forcing people to use it. Unfortunately, the technological divide will still be there. Tech minimalism, go human, recycle old tech, we have a lot of crap we've disposed off over the years that would otherwise still run fine. To create competition, there needs to be the breeding grounds for it, and if that means having to do with what the lunar lander did, then do so and exercise that brain in the process too.
I'm ready. I'm a tech hoarder and still have ISA cards and the boards that use them 🫡
This is and underrated comment. My most recent computer was build in 2021 I start to think about ripping it apart for piece and buy refurbished computers. I am trying to get solar panels working for an apartment. I have a bad exposition I wonder if I can replace a windows(which is in the right side) I never open by a solar panel. It is harder when renting, have to be double smart and think the work to be removable .
Thank you for a much more constructive comment than doom and gloompants back there.
