What's the point of building a budget PC today? The costs are now so high that they no longer offer savings, in fact, potential problems and time invested become an added expense. I tried building the cheapest PC possible, but it ended up being more expensive than a #miniPC with better performance. The #DIY #PC era is dead! #desktop
My first #PC was a 486 machine with two #floppy drives. A: was the little-used 5¼ DSHD drive, and B: was the 3½ HD drive that saw the vast majority of use.
I only learned decades later that this was the opposite of the usual setup, in which A: is the 3½ drive.
I wonder why the builder went with this arrangement?

I don't expect the PC market to shrink, though.
There are some breakthroughs like the Mac Mini M4, sub $300 Chinese Mini PC, the ever-flooded laptop market and the best PC Gaming entry point: the Steam Deck.
It's the Desktop PC Gaming what is what I expect to collapse soon, if it has not.
Last time I bought a Desktop PC component was the Radeon R290 at launch.
Since then I have traded laptops, tablets and consoles like a madman.
I wonder how the Desktop PC market will perform in the next years. Pandemic was a huge boost, but eventually it will contract again because the value proposition has not lowered as expected.

Hey all, I've had an account here for almost 2 months and I've spent waaay too long procrastinating on my #Introduction post. I feel that I should make one before getting down to normal posting! 
Anyway..
I'm Peter (or PJ) from the UK. I'm in to gaming (#PC, #Nintendo, #Playstation, #Retro, you name it!), #Baking (sourdough, yay!), #Formula1 (Go McLaren & Ferrari!). I'm also interested in #HeavyMetal, #Tech, #Photography & #Chickens
I look forward to finally posting with you all!

When people ask me what kind of PCs I build, I show them this video specifically. With the sound on. Juuuuust in case.
@f @ai6yr @briankrebs I think it's less of a "#political" question but an act of #SelfDefense and #MutualDefense at this point.
Re: #TechIlliterates that are unwilling to learn, act like a "#BenevolentDictator" and enshure they can't harm themselves in the sense that they don't get #sudo or other administrative privilegues and can't do any #persistent #changes.
After all, societies almost everywhere ban people from driving motor vehicles faster than 6 km/h by people who actively refuse to even take basic exams and classes for a #DrivingLicense.
