Similarly, data center loans are starting to make cheap mortgages disappear.

On one hand, despite being someone who makes a living writing software for mobile devices I haven't bought a new phone in more than 5 years because it is so much cheaper to just buy a 1-2 year old used phone in nearly perfect condition and all the new 'innovations' are worthless bullshit.

On the other hand, I'm sure this will trickle into the used market and still impact me so excuse me while old man yells at cloud.
