More data breaches, more companies being hacked, more supply chain attacks with npm, apt, and pip.
Honestly they’re barely hacks at this point, hacking implies some kind of social engineering, internal leak or mad computer skills. The last few major data breaches have been more along the lines of leaving things with default passwords or storing customer data in plaintext.
Or commonly used libraries with wide open holes that affects every app build with it…
The cartel is rising SSD prices.

Elon Musk is gonna say and/or do something stupid. That’s tech, right?
I hate /r/technology. Thanks for reminding me
you mean [email protected]
Haven’t visited it. I’m assuming it’s less of a dumpster fire than the reddit version
Statistically that has already happened
Here are some things I think will happen.
Nueralink first implanted to a human. Likely the first person gets killed also probably due to complications.
Increase lifespan of pig heart implants to humans.
Introduction of autonomous drones that are allowed to make decisions who to kill, I predict it’s going to be tested in Ukraine.
We start to see more widespread effects of LLM in general in our society, lost of jobs, and so on.
Release of Windows 12, possibly backtracks Windows 11 decision of requiring TPM.

I hope so, I built my own PC less than 4 years ago and it can’t run windows 11. I don’t care that much at the moment because I’m not a fan of some of the UI choices (and I only use Windows for gaming anyways) but once support is dropped for Windows 10 I’ll need options.
There’s always Linux.
while that is true, i can’t recommend it to my “normie” friends yet. apart from me still dailying Win10
Cinnamon Lime. Works great.
Oh of course, Linux is my everyday machine (I have 2 separate hard drives in my tower). I just haven’t taken the time to figure out Steam yet, and there are some pieces of work software that either work like shit on Linux or aren’t available at all (yes, I know Wine is a thing but it’s not perfect)
You can install win11 on older hardware. Even update win10 to win11 from older hardware. It is just a matter of disabling the right settings.
For a fresh install, use Rufus to create the bootable usb.
An update install is a bit trickier, but you can check the following article: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-install-windows-11-on-older-unsupported-pcs/
Why is nobody else recommending buying a TPM? They don’t seem that expensive.

Not going to happen. Microsoft makes a
lot of moneyfew bucks by locking windows keys to the motherboard.
Solid state batteries being used in EVs
I read they’re making progress on salt batteries.
The iPhone 16 will be the most powerful iPhone ever created
God damn you.

Eggs with multicoloured yolks

GPT-5 releases and it’s a bigger leap forward than most industry experts were predicting.
It will be a leap year
maybe anticheat compatibility on linux? since the steam deck is a thing now, companies like epic or EA might wanna cash in. i love that most of my games run with gold, platinum, or even native qualities (theoretically, i still use windows), but most of the online games with anticheat still need to be adapted by the Devs to run on linux.
also this is definetely the year of the EU deciding uncontrolled data collection by random companies isn’t a good thing.
Doubt. Steam Deck still seems like a small market for Epic to care about. They got rid of Linux and MacOS support not that long ago.
Computer components will get a bit more expensive except motherboards for some reason.
The SSD price hike prediction is really fucking infuriating. Doesn’t seem like we’re aiming to replace HDDs ever at this pace.
Density keeps going up on magnetic platters while prices keep dropping on a $:TB comparison. I see no reason to wish for HDD to ever go away so long as they are cheaper and better for mass storage.
sadly, they’re s l o w . i want to upgrade to M.2s, but HDDs make SSDs look insanely expensive.
Yeah, but that depends on the use cases. I have a home video and picture library on my NAS. I’d much rather have more storage on an HDD rather than SSD. For the same price, and with RAID 5, I get to store more. I don’t need the SSD speeds to load old pictures and videos.
Now for a boot OS drive, where ky games are, pr my CM images? SSD all the way.
Upgrade now while it’s affordable.
I just got a new work PC and they finally have PC’s with a SSD . My old PC was so infuriating to use . Would have to turn it on 30 minutes before my shift to be able to login on time .
The US is going to pressure the EU into loosening regulations for US based tech companies which will result in a return to some, and the advancement of other anti-consumer practices.
the EU is pretty self-sufficient, how would they even do that? threaten to leave NATO?
There are various trade agreements and partnerships between the EU and US, some of which are more beneficial to one or the other. It’s very common for countries to do this kind of thing to each other, but it’s usually a quid pro quo situation.
Multiple countries demonstrating sustained, net-positive fusion reactions seems extremely likely.
Or it takes another 20years
This has already happened in 2 labs. Final product and the “free energy revolution” are still years/decades away, but this is still an amazing achievement.
That was net positive energy just from the lasers going in to heat coming out. There’s still huge inefficiency with converting the heat to electricity and the electricity to lasers. Those challenges might be big enough that net positive from one of the donut shaped reactors will come first.
Innovation doesn’t happen that fast. The most you can hope for is the Pixel 9 and the iPhone 16. And the iGoggles
