    We’re going to go back to covid times when it was cheaper up buy a computer with the graphics card in it than to buy the graphics card out right, but now with ram.

    I’m getting so burnt out with the blatant corruption and data centers sucking up all the hardware. You know at the end of the day, all these companies are boasting record profits.

      That’s the thing, they’re absolutely not. Nearly all AI implementation fails and returns on investment are minimal, if they exist at all. They’re all part of a big gamble.

        Much like RAM, around 90% of Nvidia’s hardware in 2025 is for data centers. Unfortunately it’s mostly specialized hardware that can’t be used in consumer computers.

        Yup. Like I just grabbed a nice laptop for $150 that was $1200 in 2025 because Microsoft dictated that every computer is obsolete to their OS.
