I sure hope you aren't throwing away old hardware, anon.
>>108457049nope. i still have my pentium 2 sitting right here
I hope this hurts.
what's the excuse this time? still datacenters?
end it
Just boycott all cloud services as much as possible. Are you people stupid?
>>108457049don't really care. the hardware I have (and the extra stuff I have around here somewhere) can run any game I would ever want to play. actually I'm thinking of buying more older hardware, modernity is a disease
>>108457085China can't get Iranian oil to make cheap stuff anymore.
the shortage is necessary to enforce a service-based economy. That's corporations hate the AGPL license.
>>108457232Good thing the corporations won't keep the lights on soon enough. I wish them all bankruptcy. All of them. And mass unemployment.
I wonder if trumps plan is to doompill people into voting for him by making thier lives worse
Shouldn't chip supply improve as Intel moves to 18a for both laptop (panther lake) and desktop (nova lake) , freeing up tsmc production for other vendors? Nova lake especially should be nice, since it doesn't need to leave the US for integration like their laptop chips do, meaning its cost should be untouched by tariffs for US customers.
>>108457257No.
>>108457049I just ordered a 4tb nvme and am sending back the 2tb nvme I initially ordered. Should I keep the 2tb as well? got a good price on it
>>108457257TSMC is about to be deleted, anon, this isn't going to get better
that stock picture has to be bait lmao
>>108457049Death to capitalism
>>108457049nonsense, Cpu stocks are overflowing. local retailer gives away ryzen 9950x3D for like 400 yuros
>>108457141>Modernity is a diseaseThis!!!
>>108457049Time to switch to Apple.
>>108457242>dooood I read this literal who's doompost on the twitter and somehow this is Trump's fault!!!take your meds then deport yourself
>>108457789It's hard to believe that MIGA retards still exist, and yet here we are.
>>108457153I uh voted for this or something

>>108457049Just hauled out a stack of five never opened latitude XTs from the basement>>108457063Have a dual core pentium e6500 on XP with a 750 and 2x 1TB and 8GB (four unused) and a core 2 quad 8400 that boots into win 7 or XP with a 970 and 1x 2TB and 8GB both on AHCI, need to make that a 16GB Have another box with Win 2K pro SP4 and an NT4.0 SP 5 optiplex as well and a pile of other stuff. It's an offline LAN so I can do what the fuck I like
>>108457117They are. That's how our world ended up in this mess of a timeline.
>>108457117but of course, offline lan for the real win.
>>108457049never, I only upgrade when my current hardware is so obsolete it's worth jack shit. There's no point selling it for the £15 cash or £20 credit when it's worth more to me as a backup
>>108457638>lets get rid of the thing that gave us all this stuff to begin with>lets just ignore that we're not even in capitalism anymore and haven't been since bretton woods>lets also just ignore the massive corrupt and incompetent government hydra planning and taxing literally every facet of the economy, which is the direct alternative to capitalism that we've moved tokill yourself commie
>>108457049>buy one of the upcoming 2n cpu>buy the nvidia gou from 2027 or 2028>buy as much ram as tou need>have enough performance to last you a decadeidk man, the progress slowed down so much that my 4 year old midrange desktop is pretty much as good as when I built it
>>108457994Yeah, thank fuck for the death of Moore's Law.
everything is going to be more expensive because they cannot generate the profits by units sold anymore, so the few units they are selling have to make up for that.
>>108457117Never really used any cloud services to begin with. Don't blame people on this board, blame the clueless normie niggercattle enabling big tech.
>>108457049I've been reusing every HDD since the dawn of computing. They will have to die before I get rid of them
My i7 4790k is still going strong.And with a 4060 RTX I can just fake frames with DLSS performance M profile 90+fps, or cap a 45fps and fillup with smooth motion.I'm very interested in 2nm products, but I can pull through this crisis no sweat.
>>108458045Use case for some ancient 256 gb hdds when a new one is 20+ tb?
>>108457049I'm on a 3700X and 512GB Crucial SSD from 2019 bruhAnd my mom is still using a 380GB HDD on Windows 10 which got installed onto her ASUS laptop from 2011
Outside of ram nothing is expensive atmgpus are the same price they were a year ago, cpus are cheaper, mobos even more so
>>108458101>letting your mom use an hdd instead of buying her some cheap 256 gb ssd for like five bucksDamn son she should’ve aborted your ass
>>108458065>>108458114we will soon live in a world where you'd sell your daughter into sex slavery for a 4gb flash drive
>>108458168Her OF page is already up.
>>108458114She's been refusing any offer to update her boiling equipment for the last 6 years, I can't touch anythingAnd a 256GB SSD is like $50

>>108457795No matter who you vote for you always get president bibi :^D
>>108457049Always. Straight into the ocean with old car parts and used oils.
>>108457049I'll take the chance to ask this.I have 2 puters that I'm not currently using and I'm looking to suggestion on what to do with them>puter 1Phenom II X6 1055TGigabyte 890GX16GB DDR3GTX 550Ti (or RX570)SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS1TB Samsung>puter 2i7-6700K (or i7-7700K or Pentium G4560)Gigabyte H110 RX470SoundBlaster Audigy Rx1TB Kingston SDDDisclaimer: I already have home servers
>>108458231Based Amiga bro living the dream!
>>108458231Impressive, very nice.
Of course it's going to get worse. Too much fab capacity has been devoted to GPUs for too long. On top of that, production is going to be winding down as they run out of helium over the next two months.
>>108457352If you can afford to keep both, yes, I would keep it.
>>108459057If you have spare slots in any of your servers that are compatible with any of your parts here I would move them over. Same for whatever your primary computer is if that isn't an option.
>>108459185Thanks for the suggestions but my servers and my primary computer already have slots occupied, with very similar parts actually>DesktopRX 6700XTXonar Essence STX>NASRTX 3060PCI-e SATAAdditional NIC>AI ServerRTX 3090RTX 3060
>>108459251I don't really have anything to suggest then. Most of the parts are of little value except maybe the SSDs, and even then they're not hugely useful but still big enough to try and do something with in this climate.You could give them to someone who needs a computer (sans the hard drives). That's about all I can think of. If the SSDs are m2 form you could get an enclosure and use them as big USB sticks. You have enough hardware to suggest you could afford to just buy a 1TB USB though, and you already have your NAS. Could give those to people too I guess.In conclusion, I think they're mostly e-waste.
>e-wasteyeah, nah, I'll go ahead and install fagOS on the i7
>Check how much the 4TB SSD costs I ordered couple of years ago>Bought it for €300>Now nearly €700Fucking hell it's getting pretty grim out there.
>over 20TB of ssd storage>two 12tb and two 20tb hdds>two desktops, a mini pc and two laptopsChud control, mandatory age verification and attestation, taiwan war, alien invasion, idgaf
I keep all my old gaming pcs running as headless servers. My current gaming pc is just used for LLMs since I don't really game anymore.I kind of regret building an AM5 machine last year even though I did it when prices were cheap, I should've built an epyc workstation and put 4 3090s in it. I could've built it for under $4k at the time and had 256GB of 8 channel ddr4 with 96GB of vram.Instead I have 64GB of dual channel ddr5 and a 24GB vram in my 7900xtx. Granted it cost me under $2k but I could be doing way more with a beefy AI workstation instead of a gaming pc I don't play games on.
>>108457049It has to be fake scarcity at this point. They saw what that AI bullshit did to memory and decided they wanted a piece of the pie.
You will soon own nothing and you WILL be happy. You better hope your Palantir social credit will be good enough to let you rent something better than a shitty Celeron netbook.
>>108460581now show us your electricity billsbet you don't need heater for winter season
>>108457049Maingear custom PC I bought in February is $430 more right now. Exact same build.
>>108460829My rental agreement includes free electricity because there's solar on the roof. My UPS shows 190w sustained on two headless servers plus network gear and my AM5 machine is only on when I run queries.>heating for winterWhere I live you don't even need heat in the winter. The summer is rough and I'm debating moving my stack to the garage so I'm not running the AC harder than I need to.
>>108457049>make all hardware prohibitively expensive>AI bubble crashes>hardware becomes cheap as fuck afterI have multiple good laptops and GPU's sitting around to ride out the storm, although I might get a midrange GPU and CPU while I can just in case
>>108457913then you agree that the "current version of capitalism" is shit and we have to use something elsethe opposite of judaic corporatism isn't necessarily communism, retard
>>108457242you can't vote for trump anymore anon, he's in his second term.
>>108457895
>>108461469Midterms.
>>108457049I don’t know what else to do with my old gaming pc, it still works so I’m not gonna throw it out, but it’s just been sitting in a corner in my room
>>108457117Believe it or not, there are mouth breathing retards everywhere who are not only using "cloud" ie. SaaS software, but also defending AI slop and the slopificiation of all media, software and services.We live in a land of retards anon. Some of us are just slightly less retarded.
>>108457352If you had any sense you'd look up the current price and arbitrage the difference in price by selling the 2TB privately (if any profit is to be gained).
>>108460829It's not like he's running tri-sli gtx480s
>>108457049My old 6700k, 5700XT rig is hooked up to my TV to play couch games. Also, my network gear is good enough now that I don't experience latency when I stream from my main PC.
I guess I'm glad I was too lazy to resell my 12600K and 5600X I had from old systems.
>>108457141>modernity is a diseaseI kinda agree with this. Might install Windows 7 on my old 2011 rig and OS X Mavericks back onto my 2015 MBP so I can use 32bit apps again.
>>108457153i think the opposite is true? iran is still shipping their own oil through it and explicitly requiring people to pay with chinese yuan to piss off the US. not only is china still getting their oil (only like 10% of it came from iran) but other countries that previously sanctioned iran like india are getting oil from them. hell i think even the US has bought some
>>108457085you vill own nuffing
