The $700 build is definitely not keeping up with AAA games for two full console generations.

That’s cool, but most people want to keep playing current AAA games.
Do you need a new keyboard and mouse though? Even laptop users usually already have a mouse, and keyboards tend to have good longevity - mine is over 10 years old.
Many people already have a laptop and want to build a PC specifically for gaming, though. Upgrading isn’t all it’s cracked up to be IMO, it’s definitely nice to have but a console lasts the entire console generation (5 years give or take?) if you ignore then mid-gen upgrade which is usually entirely optional.
… can you actually make a PC with comparable performance these days? What does a console-level GPU cost these days?
Yay. Chili flakes are great, too.
BTW, the worst pizza I ever had was served in Italy. Absolutely drowned in oil.
They understand alright, they’re just often intent on perpetuating it.

Workers rights activists are leftist activists by virtue of advocating for workers rights, IMO.
Unfortunately, the tankies are also impeding the change we actually need (e.g. expansion of workers rights). It’s harder to get involved in leftism when such a large part of vocal leftists are tankies.
How is that a “flavor”?
China has a different flavor? 🤷♂️

Think maybe as humans we just forgot how to build houses or something.
There’s some legitimate issues (e.g. investors buying up housing and trying to squeeze out as much short-term profit as possible, increasing prices for raw materials), but the main issue seems to be that most governments refuse to take effective measures for whatever reason. IDK, maybe they’re just all strapped for cash after the recent pandemic.
There are countries that have none of those issues and still have low birth rates, e.g. the Nordic countries.
People are leaving New Zealand in record numbers as unemployment rises, interest rates remain high and economic growth is anaemic
AFAIK they also have a somewhat severe housing crisis. No idea whether it’s actually worse than e.g. in Australia, though - who doesn’t have a housing crisis these days?
You’ll catch some flies (and various other insects) with fly paper. The good thing is that it doesn’t smell.
Never heard of houseflies going for vinegar, AFAIK that’s for fruit flies (and even that is rather tricky IME).
That’s just one internet rando.
Who are these people?
Its landlord, SRI Nine Market Square, in early 2023 filed a suit against X for more than $3 million in unpaid rent. SRI Nine Market sought to extend Twitter’s line of credit to $10 million as an assurance that future rent would be paid. Other vendors also have sued X for failing to pay its bills. But in January of this year, SRI Nine Market dropped the case, Reuters reported. It’s unclear why.
Sounds like he did follow through.
and even Microsoft
(x) doubt
They had decades to consider Microsoft a liability. Why start doing something about it now?
The fact that most of my PC builds are generally midrange builds (i.e. about that $700 price if I reuse the case and PSU and GPU prices aren’t surging), and that midrange-build-GPU is only barely usable for AAA for one full generation. It might go for longer with games that are as well-optimized as a Doom game, but that’s not the norm.
