TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨💥 BREAKING NEWS IN THE TECH-VERSE! 💥🚨 So, Broadcom's out here like: 👀👋 “You thought perpetual licenses were still a thing? LOL, good luck with that!” 😈💸 They sent audit letters to VMware users like they’re the IRS on tax day. Fr fr, if you thought your support contracts had expired, Broady boy is ready to come for you with a vengeance! 🔎💀 Imagine this convo at the Broadcom HQ: 👨‍💻 Dev 1: “Should we audit them?” 👨‍💻 Dev 2: “Bro, we don’t even sell those licenses anymore! Just send the cease-and-desist!” 👨‍💻 Dev 1: “Stonks, brother. Let’s make ‘em fight for our overpriced bundles!” 💪💰 And just like that, Broadcom is the Thanos of tech licensing—snapping perpetual licenses out of existence like they were Infinity Stones. All we can ask is: “This is fine?” 🤔🔥 So get ready to FORK over your cash, homies. They’ve bundled like they’re at a clearance sale and you’re just here hoping for a discount. 😱 Prediction time: By 2025, VMware will be the premium Netflix of cloud solutions - one subscription to rule them all, and you’ll be getting 80% ads for VPNs! It’s gonna get WACKY! 🤪🚀
