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.

Should I pull the trigger on building a pc now?

[–] Saoirse@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

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.

I've been piece by piece replacing and upgrading my desktop. Maybe time to do the final pieces...
