Damn, this is a sad day for the homelab.

The article says Intel is working with partners to "continue NUC innovation and growth", so we will see what that manifests as.

That article is utterly unconvincing. It just handwaves the finite nature of our material reality with a very weak appeal to "infinite" human creativity. And then the conclusion is that infinite growth is necessary because there's no way to change the status quo of wealth hoarding. It's just apologism for the very worst aspects of capitalism without a single iota of serious thought.

I don't think there is any hand waving. Consuming a resource is not the only factor that goes into economic growth. Can you address that point specifically?

No I won't because it's irrelevant if it is the only factor or not. It's the limiting factor. Please don't engage in red herrings.

Seems that you're the one doing the hand waving.

You won't because you don't understand what you're talking about.
