Yesterday, I was an "eccentric" for hording and repairing laptops instead of just buying New Chip every year. But when an i3 shitbox costs you $1000 dollars, who will be laughing then? WHO WILL BE LAUGHING THEN?!
Seriously though in a year you will not be able to afford a new computer so make sure you have something you can repair.
I've been piece by piece replacing and upgrading my desktop. Maybe time to do the final pieces...
Should I pull the trigger on building a pc now?
Imo yes, but no need to overspend, CPU and GPU performance gains have been plateauing for a while now so nobody really needs bleeding edge stuff.
ah shit now im imagining some decade old shit PC suddenly 4x-ing in value lmao
next an Intel n100 minipc will cost as much as a ps5 pro 🤔
