What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now?
It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Arm on Laptops and Desktops
I'd disagree but first I want to hear your opinion on riscv
RiscV is a fundamentally different story then Arm, currently speaking RiscV is not there yet however I have more hope in the future of RiscV then Arm. Both hardware and software side RiscV is not ready however the idea of a fully open source computer still excites me. I understand however that I may be speaking more out of idealism and im certainly biased however I still hope that RiscV overtakes Arm.
Well arm cpu’s get you insane battery life (ie. Macbook M series or new snapdragons). The architecture has not settled in yet but it will take some time
You're still paying an insane amount of money for something that can basically only do basic document editing and web browsing.
Considering these things can run heavy stuff even through emulation means the performance is there. The codes that these things run is just not optimized for the architecture yet. Once that’s done, I dont see a problem but yeah it’s early stages
If you run mostly Foss this isn't even a problem, there's almost always an arm build (prism launcher even has arm on windows support)
Wut? Aren't apple's cpus based on arm and are able to run modern games like bg3?
Theoretically but Apple is so hostile to gaming that generally they cant
Wtf is an "arm" in this context?
Edit: downvoting someone for asking a question is super cool, apparently.
The Arm architecture (Arm_64) which powers Apple and Snapdragon in comparison to AMD_64 (x86_64) which powers Intel and AMD (Intel created x86 and AMD created x86_64)
Your question is reasonable, most people are not aware of CPU architectures
Maaaybe replace the wtf with what next time you ask a question.
or no
