    It’s such a shame to see high-performance computing and gaming more broadly become largely unaffordable. Hell, prior to the DRAM shortage, the current-generation game consoles were already MORE EXPENSIVE than they were at launch. And it’s just going to get worse.

      Like it was before. In the, not so long ago, past a high end pc was too expensive for the average user.

      None of this is “high performance computing”. Are you simulating nuclear explosions? Airflow around supersonic aircraft? Sequencing DNA?

      This is all entertainment, it’s useless, it turns people into potatoes. Digital garbage to make AI fat people fart videos.

      Good riddance I say.
