One of those situations where you want to reply, but you just drop it because it’s pointless.

The fact that AI is making the world significantly worse for everybody especially more vulnerable people that are underpaid, especially physical laborers…

Physical laborers are the same people that the same AI tracks, profiles, manipulates and abuses, among the rest of us, just because some cunt bastard decided to pay to generate code, pictures, or whatever the fuck else.

By all means use AI but DON’T FUCKING PAY for any of it.

I use Linux at work right now

<3

They will just follow what Nvidia does even now.

Wonder who Lisa Su will fuck to be like big boi Huang

Oh I see.

Huh? That’s a thing?

I coded a SSO like that where all you did was put in an email and put the code in in like 2nd year of work as a dev.

Is that seriously an issue where that can cause duplication on some platforms?!

Let’s look where the Taliban get their funding

Oh would you look at that… Exactly what everyone expected…

Keep buying new cars, sheeple

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to poison the AI in inconspicuous ways, my friend.

Im just saying, you could spearhead a revolution and make dough at the same time.

Well the last elf that tried playing with you…

If they don’t repair what Marty broke with Mick Gordon I’ll play their game when it’s cracked.

I just know you play some variation of DND

We have the same prices as the rest of the EU but our salaries are 1/5 (considering currency conversion too), Romania

True there are some good deals but usually the base price is crap and the quality of everything including build is crap.

Seems to me you have to dyi any prebuilt because of their issues anyway, which defeats the point of it being a prebuilt, unless you get a really good deal like you mentioned

To get an idea, a PC is probably 2x the price compared to like 2023 right now.

EDIT: I may be wrong about prebuilts considering the memory bullshit. Please investigate.

Is building a PC ACTUALLY cheaper than buying one?

Yes…of course it is. If you see a prebuilt PC “with the same specs”, the PSU, motherboard, case, fans and storage are likely all shit, and you will have really weird fucked up problems like USB’s not working right, random-ass crashes, limited BIOS options, and other super annoying bullshit. Don’t buy a prebuilt.

Prebuilts are for people that want to pay more for a worse product than if they assembled it with no knowledge. You can afford to destroy a mid range CPU while building and you’d still get a better deal than buying a prebuilt.

Some random tips:

1. Don’t use cables from one modular PSU for a different modular PSU
2. Configure fan curves by RPM not by %
3. The only things that are truly a struggle is getting that damn 24-pin in and out of the motherboard, and tightening down the CPU radiator. And cable management I guess.
4. Don’t build on a carpet, touch metal bits from the case sometimes.
5. Don’t cheap out on the PSU. Check this https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
6. Rough CPU comparison https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
7. Rough GPU comparison https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
8. Don’t trust any short form content about PC building.
9. You can’t fuck up thermal paste, stop worrying about it, plunk it down, squish it, and forget about it.
10. Don’t cheap out on storage. But also don’t overlook hard drives, they’re still the best bang for buck for mass storage.
11. Consider the used market. No reason not to. Hell, I’d buy everything used, unless you want to get latest gen, but even then it may be worth it.
12. Use pcpartpicker to configure but don’t trust it 100%.
13. Don’t get a small case, you will hate it.
14. Bigger fan better less noise more flow, you also don’t need a billion fans.
15. Mesh front case. Consider nothing else.

I think that’s like, the exact requirement to be in a company’s management nowadays

yup, it’s real…if you thought Ubisoft couldn’t go any lower than their stock valuation…

Didn’t everybody know that for like…a while though? I mean, Gamers Nexus made a video on it like a year ago and it blew up. I doubt that’s news anymore.
