gollark: The technology already kind of exists.
gollark: My very guessed predictions for the PC market's future in the next 10 years:- ARM will become more of a thing in laptops and perhaps servers, but x86 will continue to stick around a lot- Phones (with portable dock things with extra batteries, keyboards and bigger screens) will take over from laptops for a lot of people's casual uses.- HDDs will mostly cease to exist in the average person's devices and mostly be used in servers, some people's desktops for whatever reason, and NASes- CPU clock speeds/IPC will continue increasing slowly and we'll get moar coar and more GPU offloading to compensate- Persistent RAM stuff like Optane will get used a bit but remain mostly niche
gollark: yes.
gollark: Unlikely.
gollark: On ARM, only servers have UEFI or anything, everything else is a minefield of pure horror.
