gamers nexus just dropped a 3 hour video where they talk to various companies involved in the consumer PC space, some of whom really open up about their costs and economics and how operating in america just isnt feasible under the current tariffs
I’m almost exclusively using tech from before the pandemic (desktop from 2019 being the oldest) and it’s such a blessing not having the time to keep up with new games. I’m convinced I won’t need more powerful computers before 2030.
I was dumb enough to get a new Samsung phone last time I needed a phone so the battery will likely be toast long before that, but in terms of power my old Samsung S9 (2018) is still plenty.
It’s wild to me that gamers are still expected to upgrade their rig every other year or even sooner.
