Okay, I finally finished watching the whole thing. I think personal computing will radically change, but outside of companies preventing refurbished EOL enterprise PCs from being sold to consumers, personal computing will still exist on some level. You might have far less choices, so instead of having 8 colors for a case, you would only get a gray with the expectation that you would paint the case with whatever color you want or even not sell cases at all with the expectation that you would make your own case out of wood, plastic, and metal with your own power tools. You might have to remove certain chips and add other chips onto a motherboard with a soldering iron in order to install Linux on your PC and so on. Building your own PC would be just like building your own ham radio.
Of course, they don't necessarily need to completely ban personal computing but just make the barrier of entry high enough that the vast majority of people would not bother and instead just doomscroll on their phones instead. This is easily seen by people putting up with Windows 11 instead of spending less than 5 hours to learn the basics of Linux.
