There’s never going to be a time in my life where I will be able to afford even a modest gaming computer :(
Don't worry friend, the AI bubble will pop. Unfortunately, it will probably trigger a massive recession when it does, but that won't last forever either.
sure there is.
steal it.
order ddr5 ram. return ddr3 ram as ddr5 and tell them it was opened and the wrong thing.
it's no different than what AI fascists are doing right now.
At this point yall use fascist the same way 4chan uses fag.
give me a list of AI companies that have not supported the destabilization of world power and installation of fascist ideological administrations that furthers their agenda for world power.
please. I've been asking for months now and nobody can give me an answer.
None except palantir (that's not strictly just an AI company).
Pre-built machines are still going for reasonable prices but once those companies run out of old stock that'll be done for. If you've got a Costco membership they have some IBuyPower PCs for a pretty reasonable price. I got a ryzen 7, RTX5070 and 32GB of ddr5 for $1600. They have an Intel ultra 5, RTX5060, and 32GB ddr5 for $1,099.
I just wish I had an extra 1600 laying around. I am feeling the pinch after spending 40 bucks on drapes.
My good computer broke, the one I have is defective, and the worst I've ever had, maybe even worse than the windows vista desktop. Now I can't buy a new one anytime soon, because of this stupid AI bubble. Nothing good will come out of this AI either, best case scenario they go bust and our tax dollars bail them out. Worst case they take all of our jobs and or use it to create a dystopian surveillance state with mandatory colonoscopies and court ordered president branded brain chips if you fall behind on your debts.
