>>110179825Finally the real gatekeeping can begin.
>>110179825Good thing I rammaxxed in the early 20s.
>>110179825She didnt age
I literally can't, not kidding. If my GPU, RAM, or whatever goes down the plughole I have a serious problem at hand.
anyone who didn't see this coming and didn't buy in fall 2024 simply had their head in the sand
>>110179825Console peasants can't afford a console, either.Might as well get a PC because everything's getting ported to it and it's the only platform that you can actually play everything on because you don't need to wait for the manufacturer to approve every byte of code that runs on your system.
>>110179825I prayed for expensive food and for expensive computers years ago, so that we would heal from the obesity epidemic and so that jeets would be gatekept from the internet. Got what I wanted (again) award
>>110179825woulda
>>110179952>jeets would be gatekept from the internetthey're all on smartphones though
>>110179964LPDDR shortage hit them too.
>>110179870honestly, i'm okay with thisi'm old. what previous generations would have called a "graybeard". when computers were more expensive and more complex, the entire culture around computing was a lot more funlooking forward to the world where most normies just have ringfenced IoT lives. those with true interest and ability can resume populating the compute culture and maybe, just maybe, Eternal September will finally end.
i can and i willfeel bad for the kids tho, they will have to share a family PC (desktop)
>>110179825>thinking this AI bubble bullshit is going to last to 32 with 200 billion dollars of gpu's sitting in warehouses and finance markets closing to neoclouds (who can't build datacenters due to power constraints anyways)I'd be surprised if it lasted to 28Sure it will take a while for memory to return to normal but even halving will make PC DIY warm back up
>>110179987Before it was a matter of intense hobbyists.Now it's a status symbol though. The most obnoxious sorts are the ones still spending money on computing parts, not just hobbyists.
im rich i can do whatever the fuck i want lmao
>>110179987>>110180010Preach. The dilution of forums is painful. Almost make me wish for the most oppressive digital ID so I can just filter out all the retards. The whole broad movement of spending effort to lift people up digitally was a mistake. Just make an elitist ivory tower and normies will always flock to it either way.
>>110180026Can you spare me your gpu SIR ?
>>110180086you want to use a 10 years old pc running windows 7?
There will be anons that will just suffer with Windows 10 LTSC or even 7 with Supermium for the next 6 years instead of saving up their swear jar for a new PC.
>>110180109how common is supermium though? i thought i was an elite 1337 haxxor for using it. if anything firefox works better on 7 anyway.
>>110179825I'll just have my rich friend to buy me parts. I'm his only friend so he rather spend money on me than try to replace me. Note I'd still be his friend if he didn't do this, it's just a boon of the relationship.
>>110179825i mean i guess its fine with how great phons are getting...my s26 ultra came with 16gb ram, 1tb ssd and can already play steamgames like cyberpunk...so fuck it
>>110179925wallbros, not like this...
guess not
>>110180195She exactly looks like what it was 15 years ago
>>110180195Here she is like I dunno 2 years ago.https://youtube.com/shorts/WDEY4Gmh2CI?si=kv1sSnagqbbWjAM-
>>110180008>gpu's sitting in warehousesThey're going to incinerate them anon.
>>110180431no they're going to get sold in brazil to get stored with the other ones that fell of the truck last week
>>110180198>>110179925white don't crack
>>110179825it's fast enough for nowand the shills say AI will debloat the appsso it'll be ok
>>110180431No they won'tThese neoclouds are gonna go bankrupt and someone's gonna want at least a chunk of their money backBargain bin auctions for datacenter GPUs
>>110180646>Bargain bin auctions for datacenter GPUsnever happen
>>110180672In due time all this trickles down to ebay
>>110180533he went from negro to lesbian??
I built mine last year when it was clear this was on the horizon.>Heatsink+Fan$55 flat>PSU$140 -> $130>Mobo$193 -> $300>RAM$200 -> $490>CPU$356 -> $400>GPU$710 -> $1150Despite this is just following my buy history to current pages and not checking for combo deals, that's still fucking crazy. I guess I should upgrade the case on my last pc I'll ever own.
>>110180741yeah but most of the time by the time it's there they're either almost complete trashed or 2 gen out of date.
>>110179825>build my first PC in 2011>build my second one in 2023>...fug
>>110180769He just has that disease MJ had.
>>110180803pedophilia????
>>110179825she looks like weird al in the 90s
>>110180854Antisemitism
>>110180895@grok is this real?
>>110180895AI
>>110180413Sexo
>>110180413cut the si= part off of your urls dumbass
>>110179825Laina was hot in a cute way
Imagine if the only PC you could afford was HP Pavilion G6 from 2012 with AMD E2-1800 APU, and you have to use Debian Linux because Windows 11 refuses to work on it. That's the world we're heading towards. You need to go on ebay and buy old HP laptops immediately before the prices go up
>>110179825How did she do it?
>>110180195looks exactly like my cousin
>>110179825>You cant afford PC in 2026 - 2032i already have PCso fuck off
>>110179825And? I don't need a new PC
>>110180947is this real
more like 2026-????
Upgraded in 2024My regret is that i didn't grab a 4090 when the price was reasonable. Nvidia about to announce blackwell series so i expected massive a price drop, but Huang Huang fucked up 5xxx and 4090 price increased even more
I don't play triple A slop so I could get myself a cheap mini pc or mac mini.I don't need a 5090 to play 2d vidya or retro games
>>110179825>>110179906I rammaxxed even though faggots called me crazy for getting 256 GB of ram years ago. Delicious.
>>110181961>mini pcthis things are so neat and a good always on but now they are $700 makes me mad.
>>110181987>I rammaxxed even though faggots called me crazy for getting 256 GB of ram years ago. Delicious.Great seer, what should i buy before next year?
>>110179825so I have a 7th gen i5 and a 1070 and 16 GB ram and I run windows 11 and I can do everything I want (play some vidya, audio production, coding, office work, voice chat with frens)I don't see the issue desu
>>110181997not ram, storage, gpu, obviouslyso psu, motherboard, cpu, peripherals and I hope you're prepared for the upcoming cyber plandemic
I'm a housefire away from legit killing myself.
>>110182096why, you bought a 5090?
>>110182185Poorfag
My 6700xt just got a new breath of life with fsr 4.1.2 lite, basically a 30% performance increase.I'll be fine another 3 years maybe more
>>110179825I use ebay anyway
>>110179825This picture grosses me out I'm going to filter the thread.
>>110179825Scarcity for everything is setting in. That includes food, weapons, automotice parts. Basically, everything we bees for survival.GPUs and RAM will be the least if you’re worries when you are trading your butthole for stale, expired ramen packets.I have everything i need for the next decade. I’m not worried at all. Good luck to those of you who didn’t hoard
>>110179825My coffeelake+gtx1080 has been good for a decade, and it will still be good in a decade
>>110179825Glad that between 2022 and early 2025 I bought:>6 SSDs and 2 HDDs totalling 12TB>Ryzen 5800X3D>Radeon RX9070>Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme>2x32GB of DDR5 SODIMM>2x16GB of DDR4 3600>2x8 of DDR4 SODIMM>2x8 of DDR4 3200>high end custom-configured ultrabook with Ryzen 8845HS and 1600p screenI'm all set for the next 5 years or more.
>>110179952but jeets are the only ones with jobs now
>>110179825How in the fuck do you first worlders get to the point of not being able to afford a PC when even we, third worlders, can? We save money for like 1, 1.5 or 2 years to buy a good PC, you can't endure 3 months of saving up?
>>110185831Youre not funding Ukraine and Israel through your taxes
>>110185831They're all living in the red from all the consumer credit card debt, student loans and house loans. Probably like 1mil dollaridoos each. Niggas suck at playing the money game.
>>110185848I personally live in Russia, so all of my taxes go to the same thing anyway>>110185900Fair enough, we (in my country) don't really have student loans and people are afraid of debt so they don't have credit cards
>>110179930same here my man, i mean i technically could but im not pouring the same price as a car on a pc
>>110179825>You cant afford PCGOOD MORNING, SAAR! U NO AFFORDING A COMPUTER MACHINE EITHER?
>>110179925The fuck are you saying? She looks like a fucking man with a wig now.
Im gonna stick with my DDR4 until 2040

>>110181120why is this board so obsessed with ewaste?
>>110189510All technology is ewaste
>>110189510No IME backdoors in eWaste. And this is a paedophile website where everyone is consuming CSAM and grooming kids online
>>110179930You can't save a few extra hundred dollars between now and when it breaks? I'm sorry
