There will be no desktop gaming GPUs to replace the one that dies.
unless you make them, i guess i would emphasize our personal skill development in tech as a people as the ultimate guarantor of our rights to own things personally. While some government policies are worse than others, no government solution can ever be a guarantee.
Well we have to try to do yhe best we can, or you think some well crafted government policy would guarantee our rights? What’s a better solution than developing your skills as much as you can so you can build stuff yourself as much as you can?
I’m just saying, from a practical standpoint, it would be like replacing modern commercial planes with the Wright brothers plane.
A modern GPU isn’t something “skills” can make, it’s a collaboration between thousands of highly specialized people and gigantic hyper specialized factories.
Having such a thing isn’t anyone’s right. It has nothing to do with rights.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m pro open hardware. I think a great way forward would be RISC-V processors with integrated accelerators targeting Vulkan, and much of this can be communally developed. But the actual fabrication part is extremely difficult, especially if you want it done economically and with some device that isn’t a toy.

…You think a modern GPU can be crowdsourced?
I mean. You could. Hardware hackers have. But it wouldn’t resemble anything remotely like our desktops now.
