Keyboards / Re: Three keys dead, how to fix?
« Last post by Esme_Hong on Sat, 30 May 2026, 08:53:20 »
A lot of keyboard issues end up being a mix of preference and setup, so it’s always worth testing a few different configs before deciding something is a hardware problem. Small tweaks can make a bigger difference than people expect.

A healthy dollop of hate should go to "AI pricing"

It is nothing but an invisible roundelay to use machines to spiral prices upward while human operators can pretend to be innocent.

this language is inherently circuitous.


It is astonishing to think about an invented written language that ignores spoken language - while attempting to transcend it.

I hate NVidia. They profited off the cryptocurrency mining boom and then the AI boom, and are part of the circular financing that will blow up and deeply cut the world's economy when the bubble bursts.
Their money is blood money.

I don't blame a GPU. A GPU is just a piece of hardware. A GPU is innocent. But I won't buy one, because that would feed the machine with money.

$300 5060Ti 16gb,

DO
NOT
BUY
THIS.

Get 9070xt for $650-700 instead.  WAY better deal.

ESPECIALLY a better deal, because the BASE price of a PC includes inflated ram and ssd,  which means, the + $350 price difference represents an even LOWER % of the total.

Base PC is roughly $900 now because of SSD/RAM inflation.

$800 + $650 = $1450 < better deal.

$800 + $300 = $1100

+32% the price for +72% the performance

If the prices go down, it would be because the economy blew up,  so not going to win this, unless you're holding millions in Cash.

Ur00p might go into full scale war. We'll be fighting for the billionaires at that point, to the death. The prices might come down, but inflation would've gone so high anyway that demand destruction occurs.

The n4 z1's have taken over the Gerblemen gobament,  it doesn't seeeeem like,  they're planning for anything other than the war path.

They're actively advertising that kiz should join the army.

Megaman 11? it's on PC, but it's not like the older megamans, it's more lvl memorization, and not forgiving in any way.

Wait.. its not Megaman. It was something else, Turrican like game....

I know! Its Metroid! That new one from few years ago.

When this price madness going to cool down and RAM and SSD prices get back down?


I built a new computer last winter (when my 5 or 6 year-old rig died) and was absolutely appalled at the prices. Especially when Newegg sold me 2 motherboards in a row that were defective.

The other day I thought it would be nice to get a 2TB NAND but had to nix that idea. I wish that I could hope that the prices would come down in the foreseeable future, but I wonder ....

Yep, I noticed that too - about 2 years ago I built new PC for my daughter and had constant issues with GPU. Sent it back, they tested it and sent back without replacement saying nothing's wrong. I tested it in 3 different PCs and proved it being faulty, but no. HDD issues as well. Dont know why but in last 5 years hardware quality went down to drain.

I hope prices will go down next year, what its now is a total madness.
