Boring is the point.

This is how Twitter use to be. And it was how Twitter could be with third party apps until Musk killed them.

Reverse chronological is second best to synchronous social media.

To be fair. People probally know the basic concept. But they want information on the best ways, unexpected options for tubes, tips and tricks, how to break into locked gas covers quickly, etc. etc.

It’s 2026. And it’s normal to learn about things online in many parts of the world. And people have grown up knowing they can extend, expand and enhance their knowledge of things casually by looking it up.

I know it’s about gravity and getting it flowing, etc. I learned about it in grade school. But I would still look it up if i was faced with having to do it and had access to the internet.

And the GPU makers were already approaching a plateau around the first RTX cards.

Node shrinks have dried up. Gamers got use to those handing them major leaps.

Baseline numbers compared to top end numbers don’t make sense. 700 vs 1050.

Is he bringing back the bow tie?

What? Now 5 eyes is doing marketing too?! /s

I trust the prices will go down if they can. On all of their hardware.

Fan is short for fanatic. And fans seem to hate that fact.

Is there another option that’s cheaper for someone who wants this form factor and to not fuck around building a PC and wants to move away from consoles?

It’s not like it’s expensive in a vacuum. Gaming is just expensive these days.

I think you are forgetting what the goal is here.

Yup, the times are a changing.

It just made this up. There’s no way the answer was properly informed at all.
