Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

it's not a tardis. If it's inside your computer it can't be bigger than its container
That's the premium upgrade
I think it's more like the motherboard can be made so small now that the graphics card can easily dwarf it. Like a 5090 in an SFF PC.
A computer is classically defined by a device having I/O, processing and memory working together. People colloquially call the assembled product a computer, which is fine, but it's still technically a computer installed in a chassis.
However, a graphics card also has I/O, a processor, and memory and can perform tasks indepently, so it's a computer installed in a computer installed in a chassis.
At least people arent calling it the CPU anymore...
once you attach a thing into another thing, it becomes a part of that thing, making the thing you attached it to larger. the end result is one thing that is larger than both components.
Thus, once you attach a graphics card to your computer, your computer is larger, and your graphics card is a smaller part of said computer
QED.
I am not taking further questions.
You obviously have an older generation.
