Web News: The End Of Consumer Computing As We Know It

from HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers · host Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan

In this edition of the Web News, Matt and Mike dive into the idea that consumer computing might be reaching a breaking point. With RAM prices skyrocketing, hardware getting more expensive, and the industry shifting toward cloud-powered and AI-assisted workflows, we ask a dramatic question: Is this the end of consumer computing as we know it? We explore how pricing, market consolidation, and changing developer expectations are reshaping the future - and whether everyday consumers will still be able to afford powerful machines in the coming years.
