It could happen. Nobody buys desktops anymore. If someone can produce an awesome laptop or tablet with Linux it might happen as long as Facebook works that's all that matters.
Part of the problem is the bull-headed shitty tactics by government officials in the first place. We shouldn't have to fear being locked up in jail over taking a movie back late and forgetting to pay the $5 late fee. We'd be a lot less ready to give into the scams if there was less of this shit in the first place.
There would be no need to re-wire data centers. I suspect the changes would mostly be to thin laptops, and to cable modems and home routers. Servers would probably maintain full size connectors.
That's the problem with PCs, often you can get a great one at a great price: my acer 2754ffg was great, but I want to buy another one a week later, but now it's the 2754ffe and a pile of crap.
I already noticed when I got my credit card bill years ago with a ton of fraud charges. My situation might have been unique as I'd never used my Amex card (being in Canada, there aren't a lot of places that take it).
They told me they already knew that I had been a fraud victim and reversed all the charges without be having to do anything.
Or do it the other way around buy lots of bizare and unrelated items, you can always sell them later at eBay.
Let Amazon wonder how you can be a pregnant gay man parapalegic who buys a lot of shoes and bike pedals.
On a few of my systems as well. One of them is blackscreened (no video driver for win 10) and no way to restore. I've had to slave the drive in my Ubuntu system. Goodbye Windows for good.

Nope, system restore would be a quick fix for average folk. Personally I'd just delete the VM I'm in and start a new one.
April phools!

I actually like it, we use hangouts in our office and it's nice to run it outside of chrome.
resistance is futile. you will be recycled.

I'd love to see some large, low cost eink displays come on the market. Imagine a 20" eink calendar on your wall? Awesome!
At least the nuclear winter will put an end to global warming!

Almost everyday. You've never been asked if you "want an e-mailed copy of your receipt".

bacon, is there anything it can't do?
Glad my backups are append permission only at the hardware level.
The urine is used to preserve the milk when no refrigerator is available.
Love the magsafe style port on my xperia z3, charges great even when I'm snorkelling!
Yup, while us tech geeks might be a small percentage of customers many people ask us what to buy next.
For next time, use a public github as you go when working with OSS, that way it's already public.
If it's something that requires looking up from our phones and tablets, forget it. We're not interested.
Wait until it brings an entire new type of malware...
Sounds like they won't be needing that kilo of platnium anymore... Send it to me please.
Can you hear the whooshing sound when a joke goes over your head?
