So now that PC building is officially over what will people do who had that as a hobby?

We'll fab our own semiconductors.

Hopefully, have sex, finally, eventually even.

that's not a real hobby

you mean people will have to choose between drugs and ciggies and alcohol or computers, computers every time here because unlike you I do not work on behalf of the forces of light.

>>108909396
things where you learn and create. stuff that isn't already built to just work. musical instruments, writing, gardening, programming, etc.
so yeah in some niche situations people really do make a hobby out of electronics, but in the case that most people mean (making a gaming computer, NAS, etc), it's just buying stuff

>bro pc building is just buying shit and slapping it together you are NOT allowed to learn how any of it works
>>
>>108910864
learn whatever you want, I'm just saying the amount of learning involved in 99.99% of "PC building" is shallow
there's nothing wrong with it. I build PCs and have been since I was a kid, it's just silly to call it a hobby imo
>>
>>108909372
there's enough hardware produced to last us a 1000 years. just go to your local dump and you will come back with fully functioning PC.
also, (((they))) will always need to offer us some sort of terminal that can be jailbroken.

Not from /g/ but kind of curious
You guys dumb enough to not realize basically all these AI crap data centers ran out of other people's data to steal and resell years ago (which is why adobe and other companies tried to assert ownership of everything you make) and people's compute needs being so low that even if they tried to pivot to high power compute renting the average consumer just wouldn't pay the rental fee?
The whole cloud computing thing being more of a
>Fuck giant shitboxes full of gpus isn't a practical business model even with massive government subsidy of several companies leeching money into this circular bullshit we need a pivot
Type of thing?

pc using, I guess

>>108911070
painting is a skill
a retard can "build" a pc. it's as much of a hobby as shopping is
>>
>>108911070
you should pick up reading comprehension as a hobby
>>
>>108911213
I know you probably didn't think too hard about your metaphor, but you know that putting a computer together well, and doing it poorly can be argued to have the same skill difference between a child's fingerpaints and a furfag of 12 years putting out some of the most disconcertingly well made art you've ever seen, right?

anon you can't even understand basic logic based on your replies here

I am neither of those posts you replied to.
I don't even post on /g/ regularly.
But going off what I've seen it seems you all are pretty re/g/arded

All true but they'll just do it anyway by continuing to artificially inflate the price of personal compute via tariffs° and other market manipulations of computer components because it's all actually a policy decision from the government to centralize data for surveillance. brought to you by NVIDIA™.
basically they'll stick a computer box outside your* house and now that's your** computer. you pay for electricity, internet and tokens for your** gAyI agent, all streamed to a monitor and some peripherals in your* house.

PC building is not a hobby, you do it once and you are done.
>>
How is that a hobby? Most people who did PC building could really only afford to do that once or twice every few years anyways. A hobby is something that you do more consistently than that, I think.
>>
>>108912551
The job is never done.
