Permacomputing people can rejoice.. our community will grow because of this.

Fair point. It will disrupt/impede the industry and hopefully push consumers to reuse old tech.

I'm certain corporations will find a way to exploit another resource to maintain profitability. Trying everything else before doing what's right.
