I've heard this before. Oh wait... Here:

Code:while (1) { if ( currentYear() > 1998 ) printf( "The PC is dead!!!1111\n" ); sleep( 31622400 ); }
could these bullshit threads just stop

Seriously, so far every thread started by GOD has been clickbait, without the ad revenue incentive.

And it seems that the trend is to put an URL in the name of the thread.

i don't think that a popular platform ever died in the demoscene (zx spectrum, c64, amiga, atari, pc and so on...). in the pc platform there is always a manufacturer who's going to step in and lead the market whatsoever. what bothers me is that so many years have passed and we haven't seen something more advanced than the pc platform (android is still linux making no difference), occulus rift seems promising but still is not widespread.

Well first argument is; how are tablets going to overthrow PC's? When will I be able to play all my PC games on a tablet?

Don't bother saying "streaming" as what will you stream it from if PC's no longer exist?

Dafuq did I read?

I get that beige boxes are dead and that only gamers build them now - dwindling market for preipherals.
I even get that most new notebooks these days are touchscreen and/or have detachable keyboards.
But trying to suggest that tablets are the shizz?

Fuckoff.

A lot of businesses build boxes as well. I have a reasonably high-spec work laptop, but under the desk is a beast of a tower PC.

Yeah, I didn't even touch on racks or anything like that but then lenovo/acer aren't exactly renowned for server stuff are they.

On a kvm switch? I'm guessing cad or game dev?

I can't get it when some people maybe secretly dream the death of PCs because PCs must suck and are ugly and not as classy as mac or amiga. Even if mac or android or consoles or your cat kills PC, they will evolve into PCs, customizable, powerful, generic boxes for al the tasks and without the need for a brand, because there will be need. The nextgen consoles have PC hardware now. I am not gonna write code in Android even if there is external keyboard. It's not the most powerful shit out there.
