Documentary on the hardware market crunch from consumer-facing companies' view.
Watching Jensen stick his junk in it and say again and again and again the PC market is going to be crushed forever and eve and ever and him being delighted about it feels barely any better. It's way way longer a video than feels useful, but there's quite the stream of quotes from Jensen relishing in fucking over everyone except the titanscalers, with gleefully predictions it will destroy every other form of computing forever. [this video]
