Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices

It’s such a shame to see high-performance computing and gaming more broadly become largely unaffordable. Hell, prior to the DRAM shortage, the current-generation game consoles were already MORE EXPENSIVE than they were at launch. And it’s just going to get worse.

None of this is “high performance computing”. Are you simulating nuclear explosions? Airflow around supersonic aircraft? Sequencing DNA?

This is all entertainment, it’s useless, it turns people into potatoes. Digital garbage to make AI fat people fart videos.

Good riddance I say.

  You posting on the Internet is also useless digital garbage, so put your money where your mouth is and go do something productive.

Like it was before. In the, not so long ago, past a high end pc was too expensive for the average user.

  This statement sounds defeatist.
