@TerminalAutism @PhenomX6 I see the smartphone and tablet is an attempt to re-define the PC, but instead of a hobbyist invented work machines, they're corporated controlled consoomer toys.
And modern laptops are slowly being pushed into that same direction too.
I even said multiple times before that current year laptops are really just tablets without a touch screen and with a keyboard and trackpad.

Desktops are still the only bit of freedom we have left, and even these are slowly going towards consoomer toyism, especially considering the M1 processors Crapple is using on the one hand, and Microshaft Pluton they're trying to force computer manufacturers to implement on the other hand.
Let's not forget IntHell ME and AMD PSP which to this day cannot be mitigated by any other means than by buying ancient hardware or waiting for RISC-V computers to finally come out.
