I'm avoiding computing I guess.. I won't pay those absurd prices, and I will not every pay for cloud bullshit.
I'll abandon computing and the internet if it comes to it.
That's pretty much the point I arrived at a couple years ago when prices never really did come down after the crypto bullshit tailed off.
The latest hardware I bought was a 16 GB kit of DDR3 for my spare parts server.
I bought a 1080 for every computer in the house when all that really went stupid. They paid for themselves in 3 months of mining at night. I eventually stopped because I wanted the cards to last. They all still run.
I wish I could point and click new GPUs at AI and get them for free.
I got a used 3ds and dsi and been loving it. Love them more than my switch. I'll go for vintage hardware and vintage games if needed over paying for cloud computing.
