I have a feeling this guy is not wrong.

There have been multiple tech companies nailed for price fixing basically every other year for at least the last 20-30 years.

One that was most noticed by many was the LCD price fixing.

I really do feel like the RAM "Shortage" is another example. This should be fucking illegal (Well, depending on how they do it, it is). A stick that used to cost around $40-60 (usually used) now costs ~$150+ used... It's bullshit.

Free and unrestricted individual computing is dangerous. For more than 20 years I've said that it will one day be banned, though I really expected the vector to be assault on FOSS by the likes of Palladium and such. But this achieves just the same. It is no different than gun control by drying up the sources of available ammunition. It is time to give thought to what would constitute essential generational computing devices and how to build for longevity. When it finally becomes necessary to go underground it will be far too late to start devising a plan then.
