I think in the not too far future, every electronics device will be locked down. Laptops and desktops can be locked down too. The technology is already there. They can also throw in AI for recommendations i.e. lock down users' mind too. Think what this is going to do to the next generation if they start using electronic products from 6.
For example, if anyone is interested, check out the computers Chinese governments are using right now. They are basically large mobile phones running some sort of Linux, but the whole thing is locked down. Fortunately things are OK on the commercial side but again it's more and more difficult to root or unlock a device.
And now the Western states are following suite, except it's the corporations that are leading the charge.
If they achieve this, and wipe out all commercial electronics distributors such as Mouse, then we need another underground railway movement to teach people to scavenge and build computers in that Dark Age.
I'm not joking. This could be real. It's already shaping.
