The reduced importance of the personal computer is tied to the general trends where workloads are increasingly hosted by SaaS service providers or on Internet and intranet web servers.

    Today, in year 2026, there are fewer and fewer reasons to use Microsoft Windows.The personal computer has long been mostly a web browser for many. Some cope with just a smartphone or a tablet.

      A thread about how we ended up being stuck with Microsoft Windows and why it is not truly relevant anymore. This is an updated thread originally posted to toot.community (to be decommissioned soon).

        I feel like I'm back where I was three years ago. My dutiful Pro 3 is my daily driver, and I'm about to replace it with a new . Only this time, it's not out of excitement at the new hardware from an exciting new startup. It's because I'm installing yet another RMAed mainboard. The support situation this time was so messy that I got an upgraded, new (not refurb) board as a make-good. Should tell you something about how I'm feeling about the whole affair. Kudos to the agent who took ownership and sorted me out. Dude was solid. Fewer kudos to everyone who touched my case before him in the queue.

        Three years ago, I wondered if the would be the last laptop I would buy. Well, this laptop will be the last Framework I will buy, unless my experience this time around is significantly better. I simply do not have the time (or disposable income) to rely on failure-prone hardware.

        So - wish me luck.

        A boxed mainboard, a SSD enclosure, and a screwdriver sit atop a Framework laptop. In the background, a Surface Pro running the Ubuntu desktop is visible.

          update: new board arrived and install was as smooth as it always is. It really is a tremendously easy machine to service.

          This time, graciously, they sent a new board and not a refurbished one. A make-good for the support experience being such a boondoggle this time around.

          Unfortunately, this board has made the laptop read as a completely different device and Windows will not activate.

          Deep sigh.

          This reinforces two things: one, this should have been a much quicker and easier resolution, with a simple RMA, and two, I wish I didn't still have a few things I needed Windows for, or I'd fully switch to Linux already.

            RAM prices on overdrive

            I wrote about the impacts of AI development a while back. One of the factors I mentioned was technology waste which touches on the concept of AI being a massively wasteful consumer of things like high-performance GPUs, disk storage, and RAM....
