Datacenter rush will create ‘tsunami’ of discarded electronics, report says
(www.theguardian.com)
Agree, plus pent up demand. Like me and everyone else could really use some normally priced components for a change lol
And people will use datacenter stuff. There are already pcie card for the weird smi card interface for the big nvidia server card, same for amd stuff. Small epyc board exist already. Hacker will get every cheap electronic to work.
And miss out on the tax writeoffs when they send the equipment to landfills?
Aww yea, gimme those sweet cheap HDDs.
