This post seems confusing without additional details. Maybe you can expand on what are the tasks that will make use of that kind of processing power. What are your performance priorities?
Based on your current description, I don't see anything that will stress even a 10 year old CPU.
Also, what uses would you have for an egpu other than basic hardware acceleration? Gaming, A.I, etc...
If you just want to cover your bases, almost any high end x670 board will do the job.
Or how about not assuming either way and waiting for proof before believing narratives. Anything else occupies the same space as conspiracy theories.
The math on anyone always listening to everyone's phones doesn't add up and will not any time in the near future.
What I'm really waiting for someone to figure out is what makes the 13th/14th gen 7/9 series processors more prone to these failures compared to the 1/4/6 series and why the 12th gen chips remain unaffected given the minor architecture changes.

Commenter says it's a fork of antennapod like podcini is. I've tried podcini but wasn't fond of the interface changes and went back to antennapod. Wish the github page would list what makes focus different from antennapod.
We'll have to wait ~ 2 years since the next round of AMD cards are rumoured to be midrange cards. The Steves are right that if A.I is still as profitable for both AMD and Nvidia by then, expect prices to go up for any flagship. It wouldn't make any business sense not to.
Not sure I agree the premise of the article. Sales are going to be down when there are fewer AAA releases to drive hardware sales. It's taking longer and longer to develop those games and the budget required no longer justifies console exclusivity.
I think 2025 will be the real measure of console strength when the big releases are scheduled to come out.
First point is more true today than it was in the past. It is impossible to build a gaming pc for $400-500 that is capable of playing most modern games at high settings (without RT) and play at 60 fps. The gpu capable of doing that is around $300 by itself.
I think the longevity of consoles also plays a large part in their appeal. Knowing you can use the system to play at consistent performance levels for 7-8 years is a comforting thought.
For the PC side, I'm not sure about your point about drivers. Nvidia/AMD/Intel regularly release day 1 drivers to improve compatibility with new games.
This was a major plot point in Doctorow's Bezzle that I just finished. It's depressing to see it happening in real life but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
"The report detailed how the user managed to leak DNS queries when disabling and enabling VPN while having “Block connections without VPN” on."
Not to diminish the severity of the issue but I can't imagine this being the factor that pushes the average person to ios over android.

Maybe his history of being arrested by police at other political events played a part in heightened tensions here. Not saying being an intolerable asshole warrants automatic arrest.
Also for anyone unfamiliar with the Toronto Sun, it's our version of the Daily Mail in the UK.

Hard to go wrong with the Asrock Taichi that Wendell from Level1Techs is also a fan of. Looks like memory will be your limiting factor and with VMs being part of the equation, 128gb seems like a good idea.
I am curious how well adobe software can use a dgpu in a vm. I understand things have gotten much better for gaming and maybe that'll translate into other gpu intensive tasks.
