Shoulda bought m0ar 32* Dell QDoleds 120hz,  for $350, it was silly not to buy 5.

Go out and BUY EVERYTHING. 

Coat hangers, Oleds, Speakers, etc. 


This is really may be the last chance for a very lonnnnnng time.

An imminent resource shock is locked.  Which means a rationing at the production lvl is locked. 


The PRICE of GPU might be $xxx,  but can you buy one,  NO.  The shelves are empty.

What's the price on the black market, $1000 for a 7800xt.

Ya want to change out GPU thermal paste at least once a year, if you're using thermal paste.

PTM is gud' for  at least 5-10 years.

CPU thermal paste is good for at least 3-5 years.

Earbuds,  feel like there's been nothing kewl lately. sameysamey.

TBH,  don't think any earbuds further should go without ANC.

Earbuds create an unavoidable choouiiiiiiiiiiii wind noise, there's no way to attenuate this (massive distortion) without ANC.

Audiophile passive earbuds are a scam.

earbuds are a scam.

Me, if I can't listen to music out of the air, good ear-enclosing headphones are the only acceptable but inferior substitute.
I really despise ear "buds" ....

People are stupid.

There is an inane compilation of thought devoted to Making a BOX work as if there's no box.


Just leave the side panel off.  It will be more quiet,  less dusty, Run Cooler, AND be cheaper.


All this money being spent on fans, the new aluminum fans, and fancy cases amount to nothing more than Dresses for Cats (Male edition).

Can you beat a Series X for $600 ?

Tp4 thinks probably not. Unless you go used parts.

an inane compilation of thought

That is a profoundly ugly thing to have in your room.
