gamers nexus just dropped a 3 hour video where they talk to various companies involved in the consumer PC space, some of whom really open up about their costs and economics and how operating in america just isnt feasible under the current tariffs

Watched the first hour last night. Really interesting information and the interview style, for the first couple at least, was rather informal. I’m familiar enough with shipping and logistics but it was refreshing to see high-up people in these companies be so candid.

No, change your mindset. Fuck latest and greatest. Get yourself a nice SFF or mini PC and enjoy what you currently have and do. Sysadmins, engineers, programmers (also who game as well) are having fun with used mini pcs and /or pc clusters (w Linux). Just think “software based” and don’t follow the hype…. You’re pretty much picking up the R&D bill for companies.
