gamers nexus just dropped a 3 hour video where they talk to various companies involved in the consumer PC space, some of whom really open up about their costs and economics and how operating in america just isnt feasible under the current tariffs

    I’m glad I did so just before Trump got elected again. I’m also glad I got a GPU when I did, despite the ridiculous cost.

      Built a gaming PC last year and a mini computer arrived last month riiiiight before tariffs kicked in. I think I’m good for the next 4 years at least. My daily driver laptop was built in 2011 so I’m used to hanging onto tech for a while!

          Ah! It’s a 2012! I was off a tad.

          Anyways, it’s a Mac Pro 2.3Ghz i7, 16G ram, 2TB drive, with an internal bluray drive.

          Had certainly served me well over the decade.
