Rising vehicle prices, auto loan interest rates, and insurance and maintenance costs are making it harder for people to buy or keep cars.

First it was the houses, then it was the cars, next it will be the computers.

Just compute it in the cloud, no need for your own hardware. It's only 9€ per month, sorry 48€, which actually means 58€?

Subscriptions to essentials of modern life should not be a thing. It's a bad business model.

I always tell the places I work they'd end up saving money buying a server or two for R&D then having people run machines in the cloud.

There is obviously a point where scaling/maintaining it becomes less worthwhile, but for small teams/projects the cloud is a rip off.
