It will no longer be feasible to throw more pajeets at a problem and hope for faster hardware.

Wait for biological computing. Animal brain is cheap but can do far more computations than the most powerful computer out there.

How many FLOPS a star powered device can perform per second potentially? I.e. if the whole Sun is turned into a computer.

(M_sun) × (c² ÷ h) bits ⋅ seconds^-1
= (1.989 × 10³⁰) × (1.35639251 × 10⁵⁰) bits ⋅ seconds^-1
= 2.6978647 × 10⁸⁰ bits ⋅ seconds^-1
= 2.70 × 10⁸⁰ bits per second

How many flops that is, I don't know, but it's probably a lot.

Moore's law stopped applying around 2010.

Around 2010 is when Moore's law got replaced with Murphy's law.

Then I guess More's law isn't over yet, just placed hold until next tech singularity, allowing automated building of larger scale structures around Sun. Largest today supercomputer has just 13^12 bits RAM.

Quantum computing has been coming "next year" for 17 years now. Admit your role.

Did you even read the URL? It happens THIS year. Not "next" but this.

what is post-quantum cryptography?

Theoretically quantum computing can boost usual computations, like 3d rendering and neural nets. But it is far from that.

Its obvious the first option is much cheaper:
Plan A: Do it legally, by rewriting law.
Plan B: Build huge Quantum CPU farms.
