Silicon Valley's post pandemic recovery plan

So there we have it: the tech cartel pulls together its excessive and unaccountable might to tell the world that it WILL buy new hardware and new software to replace something that, for most users, ain't broke.

No doubt a pleasing prospect for the IT industry but less so for everyone else attempting post-pandemic recovery.

Meanwhile, shedloads of perfectly serviceable hardware will be prematurely consigned to the scrap-heap.

But perhaps it's unreasonable to expect an industry that "mines" money out of pointless energy consumption to care about needless waste.
