Ads for this type of services show up in craigslist regularly where I live. Named organizations like Viking Acquisitions or FAFO LLC post weekly. I bugged the local newspaper about it, but they were disinterested.

a place for our grocery plastic bags to have a new life a good life

Is this what CPAC meant when their banner said “We Are All Domestic Terrorists” ?

I don’t know but I do know that the reason Sparc boxes and Solaris/SunOS is known by people who worked in business or academia is because that there were Intel PCs that let affordable computing reach the masses even while Crystal Tower computing existed.

Now it seems that affordable PCs are not what the Mega-Wealthy want so they will make every computing device capable of creating a challenge to A.I. as expensive as possible just like Sun did with their hardware.

They can do this because the market can’t respond to make more competition. And tariffs make that worse.

A.I. and big tech does not want you to have computing power to challenge their digital hegemony.

They will start pushing dumber and dumber devices and making development boxes so out of reach that only mega-wealth can afford to buy them.

found it “rotating through the tides”
